What is it with diet drinks getting so much bad rep? Of course, they're usually sweetened with the potentially lethal, toxic substance known as Aspartame (to which we can thanks Donald Rumsfeld) but let's look at it from another point-of-view.
About four weeks ago, I decided to stop eating what I consider "junk food": fried food, candy, chocolate etc. This wasn't anything to do with "Lent", although it was most likely inspired by it. I just think that I don't need it. Not only is it bad for me, but it's also burning a hole in my pocket. At this stage, it has become a sort-of challenge, to "see how long I can go", without junk food, much like my good friend Jason (www.jasonparmele.com), who hasn't touched candy or chocolate for many, many years.
I have had one saving grace in this time though; diet drinks, more specifically Coca-Cola Zero and Rockstar Zero Sugar. I drink roughly seven bottles/cans of these drinks per week, which with all things considered, isn't very much at all. At 0.7kcals per bottle, me and Coke Zero get on great together.
Cheers.

I am two years off chocolate, and nearly four years off soda.
I'm no Saint though. I've replaced them with sugary drinks like Nestea and other various fruit juices. But I am one step closer to finally just making up my mind and being totally healthy.
