meazza Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Well back 6 years ago I drink Pepsi about 8-10 20oz botles while i was at work. Than I would get home and drink about 1-2 2liter at night before going to bed. I gained about 40 pounds during the 4 year time I was drinking that much. Now I drink 2-20 oz diet bottle aday. I have lost 50 pounds since I stopped drinking all that pepsi. I feel alot better. I had to have the pepsi back than now I drink it only for the flavor because I like it. I drink water plain or sometimes I put flavering into it. If you haven't started to drink pepsi DON"T start. IT IS VERY ADDICTING. It's habit forming, not addictive. There's a difference.

NWPABillsfan Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Yes I still have my teeth but I now have dieabetes. I know that is as a result of my pepsi drinking. It might not be addictive but when I stopped drinking it I had the shakes and headaches for about a week my body was carving the pepsi or maybe the caffeine. For every 4 grams of sugar = 1 teasspoon of table sugar. That is what my doctor told me when I tring to get off from pepsi. [Example 1 12oz can of pepsi has 41 grams that = 10.25 teaspoons in every can.] I now only drink diet for health reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But man, If I am correct... You were drinking around 300 ounces in a 24 hour time span... Is this true?? I thought 1/3 to a 1/2 of a 2 litre every other day or so was bad... That is only around 30-40 ounces a day at worst... And even that isn't really consistent, some weeks I don't drink any soda at all. You were drinking 10 times that??? Take care!

Diet Dr Pepper is the greatest of all diet sodas. No contest. The new Coke Zero is also very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Diet Dr Pepper is the greatest of all diet sodas. No contest. The new Coke Zero is also very good. Actually I think diet A&W root beer tastes as close to the "regular" as any soda does. I don't drink it often but I really enjoy it when I do.

bartshan-83 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Diet Dr Pepper is the greatest of all diet sodas. No contest. The new Coke Zero is also very good. Agreed on both counts. Diet DP and Coke Zero are the only two diet versions I'll drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, Diet Dr Pepper always seems to have a strange after taste. The Coke Zero is pretty good though. I barely ever drink pop at all, but I had one of those draining work days a little while back where I needed some caffeine to stay awake. I grabbed a cherry coke zero thinking it was a regular. I'm pretty much hooked on those now. The rare times now I grab some pop, it's always that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiew Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 It's funny that no one has mentioned that drinking cold fluids while you eat isn't good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 not that its not good for you, the body absorbs room temperature water quicker than cold water, it just takes a bit longer for the water to get to room temperature....it has also been cited that drinking cold water while eating speeds up metabolism and helps lose weight better than warm or room temperature It's funny that no one has mentioned that drinking cold fluids while you eat isn't good for you.

Pretty proud of myself, although I will say I did drink around 10-11 of the large draft beers at Duffs last saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been able to migrate over to the diet sodas. My first experience with Tab may have ruined me for life....but I'll give the diet Dr Pepper a try.
