I was always a fan of clear diet soda for some unknown reason, which is why Diet Mt. Dew was my drink. I think the stuff is bad, but as long as you are getting plenty of water and limiting the soda to early in the day, I think you're good. This way at night you still have energy to get things done that really matter. Rachel - WOW, you *never* drank soda? That's impressive. I definitely knew I had a problem and also knew I was going to stop. Luckily I had (have) the will power to stop. There are times when I see the DMD and want it bad, especially when I do the shopping and it's on sale. I just can't see going back now that I feel so much better. Perfect example was last night when I started some cardio at 10:30 at night. Before, when I was all doped up on caffeine, I would have wanted to be in bed by 10:00. Thank you both for the comments as it's nice to know I'm not alone. Ciao. Cherise – I am with you on the non dark soda (pop).

But my husband use to drink a lot and it's amazing the changes in him once he stopped. Keep up the great work! :) I’m glad that you notice that you had a problem with Mountain Dew and that you are doing something about it! :)

That's why I still have yet to give up my early morning energy drink. I am doing much better with drinking at least a gallon of water per day and cutting out the extra caffeine I was taking in. I think one can have a good balance and still be happy. Thank you for the comment! Lorraine - Thanks for stopping by and taking a minute to comment. I appreciate what you do and bring to the D-OC.

I don't always drink it all, but I drink at least half. I feel like it is one of my few joys that I can still enjoy...

You bring up an excellent point about the fact that even diet soda can harm the enamel of your teeth. I am really trying to embrace the notion of clean eating and drinking, which tries to reduce the amount of artificial chemicals that are in my food and drinks. By drinking water, I feel my kidneys have a much better chance of holding up and keeping me healthy for the long term. Thanks again! Anna – thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment.

I stopped drinking diet soda's a few years ago. Not because of my diabetes tho' - but because of cost, damage to teeth (even without sugar diet drinks are supposed to not be good for tooth enamel). I try to drink just plain ol' water, and a blog like you helps remind me to get off my duff and get another glass. Tap water is fine for me depending on where I am at the time - e.g. in foreign countries in the south - bottled for me only! Putting a slice of lime / lemon in the water will sometimes makes it more "tasty" as well. Tried using the sugar free drink additives - but find they leave a weird coating on teeth - and they cost - plus there is alot of chemicals I can't pronounce in how you get the taste LOL. Again, the recommendation of 8 glasses of water can be made up with juices (limit to what your diet allows you of course) - water in foods, etc. Glug, glug away to better health!
