I do like to sweeten my tea with sweet-n-low, though {if it's not already sweetened with simple syrup}. I know that's horrible, but that's what I grew up on &amp; it just tastes right to me. Luckily I only drink sweet tea once every week or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages/page/2#post-54547 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 12:21:35 +0000 cyneswith 54547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love diet coke. I am really sensitive to chemicals, though, so I have to limit my intake. I have about two bottles a month, and I sometimes get one when we go out (almost exclusively with fast food, which happens about once every three months - otherwise I get water). I don't like full sugar sodas, because they make my teeth all fuzzy (I don't like full fat milk either because it feels funny.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages/page/2#post-54521 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:54:27 +0000 LazyLightning 54521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On the flip side, I grew up with a diabetic parent. I am used to diet beverages, and I think regular sodas taste WAY too sweet and have a strange aftertaste. (Even my KoolAid was sweetened with aspartame..) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages/page/2#post-54288 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 21:50:44 +0000 MrsH 54288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I &lt;3 coke zero. A lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages/page/2#post-53773 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:08:34 +0000 mrstilly 53773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a diet coke addict. I don't really like regular sodas. I cut back to 1 can a day when I was pregnant and nursing, but now that DS isn't breastfeeding any more, I probably drink 2-3 a day. I don't really discriminate between diet coke and diet pepsi, and love diet cherry pepsi, but there is nothing better than an ice cold can of diet coke. </p> <p>I hate the taste of water most of the time. I try to still drink a lot during the day, but now that I'm not breastfeeding, my water intake as gone down quite a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53761 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 12:59:01 +0000 daniellemybelle 53761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I am hopelessly addicted. I much prefer the taste of Diet to regular, and I have a hard time going more than a day or two without one. I'm trying to break my addiction before TTC because I know it's not good for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53726 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 12:03:19 +0000 Goldilocks1107 53726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love me some Diet Coke. DH hates it, but only drinks soda as a mixer, so for him I buy Coke Zero because it tastes better to him, yet still avoids those extra empty calories.<br /> After drinking diet for so long, "full octane" soda tastes too sugary to me now.<br /> My doc didn't have any concerns about my "habit" (one diet soda a day), so I feel no guilt when I have a need to crack one open. But I do try to not have a soda every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53722 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:58:40 +0000 plantains 53722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I hate diet drinks, especially diet coke. Tastes disgusting to me. I drink regular coke. I get Mexican coke so I'm having cane suger instead of HFCS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53704 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:35:44 +0000 mediagirl 53704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love me some diet Coke. Not right now, of course but I can't wait to have it when I'm not pregnant anymore! I've never liked a lot of juices or drinks like Snapple, iced tea, etc, so I always lean towards a diet Coke rather than a drink of another type. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53703 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:34:38 +0000 lola2011 53703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to live off Diet Coke, but I've cut down to maybe one regular Coke a month. I figure with how little I'm drinking it I may as well enjoy the taste, stay away from the aspartame and take in the calories. I don't drink diet wine so I feel fine not drinking a Diet Coke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53698 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:32:27 +0000 Pipers Mommy 53698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love diet coke, gave it up entirely for my pregnancy and thought I would stay with it. I am only drinking one a day now but really wish I had stayed away from soda post baby. Maybe I'll give it up for Lent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53649 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 10:35:33 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 53649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually drink a Diet Coke a day. During pregnancy, I cut way down or drank a bit of caffeine-free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53630 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 10:21:52 +0000 prettylizy 53630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like cola's at all, and I usually find regular soda to be too sweet. If I decide to indulge, it's usually in diet grape or cream soda which are made with splenda instead of aspartame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53603 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 10:07:18 +0000 BSB 53603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I don't. I don't like the taste of diet soda. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53591 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:58:41 +0000 winniebee 53591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-pregnancy I drank a diet coke a day. I probably now have one once a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53590 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:58:34 +0000 Maysprout 53590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, they taste really weird to me.<br /> When I was young we went to a pediatrician who advised limited soda but no diet soda so I never tasted it until I was older. And now I just dislike the taste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53585 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:55:44 +0000 yoursilverlining 53585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No diet drinks. I don’t like the flavor and I don’t like ingesting the chemicals. I don’t drink much soda at all, although for a few weeks having a regular Coke/Pepsi in the afternoon seemed to help a little with morning sickness so I did have 1-2 glasses almost every day for a few weeks. Probably drank more soda then than I had in years and years combined! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53581 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:53:09 +0000 Mrsbells 53581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I dont like aspatame or any artificial sweeteners. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53578 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:51:35 +0000 lavender 53578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a fan of aspartame, but I will get a Diet Coke every now and then, but I prefer regular fountain Coke anyday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53576 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:48:53 +0000 tlcbaby 53576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be OBSESSED with Diet Sunkist. But I always knew in the back of my head that all those fakey chemicals could not be good for me. I slowly backed off of them as my New Year's resolution last year and now I don't drink any soda. Just tea and water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53575 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:44:54 +0000 mrsguinness 53575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are just some days where I HAVE to have a diet coke. Not a regular coke...too sugary and sweet for me. It's a treat for me anyways. My husband is always telling me to just drink a regular coke but I can't do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53572 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:40:39 +0000 looch 53572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like aspartame either, it has a weird chemical taste to me. I can't stand it in things like yogurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53516 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 08:33:33 +0000 Andrea 53516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love diet Coke and Sprite Zero! I have 1 a day. Now you are all making me feel really bad.

I don't really drink soda, but if I do it has to be the real stuff, not diet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53464 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 01:10:02 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 53464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't help but drink a Diet Coke every now and then. I usually enjoy one about three times a month. more than one soda a week is just way too much for me! it's a treat. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53432 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 22:09:29 +0000 tequiero21 53432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>typically don't drink diet.... but some things my hubby and i both drink, i'll get diet - more for him than me. like diet peach snapple. i used to drink just the peach snapple, but now, i drink diet for my hubby.

I don't drink that much soda, well I don't think it's that much, about 2 per day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-diet-beverages#post-53418 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:43:32 +0000 owlmom 53418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love diet dr pepper. I used to drink one for breakfast on my way to work every morning, which I fully admit is totally gross. Once I got pregnant, I quit drinking them. I've had a couple since giving birth, but I think I've finally kicked my addiction. </p>
