Diet soda!

Diet soda!

I have a problem with drinking diet soda. I drink it like its water. And water is too plain for me so I just keep clenching my thirst with diet pepsi. I know its bad for me even though its diet but I just cant stop!! I dont know if its just the caffein I'm used to or what but whenever I try I get the worst headaches. Has this ever happened to anyone??

have you tried switching to coffee or tea? Try it and suck it up and clench your thirst with water! Put some crystal light in your water if you need to. but clench your caffiene burst with natural caffein like in coffee or tea.

I kind of am in the same boat as you. I try and convince myself that drinking diet is good for me, well at least better than regular soda, but it really isn't good for you either. I try to drink only one diet soda a day and water and tea for the rest. Try cutting back and if water is so plain try flavored water or like they said Crystal Light. It isn't good for your body to be so dehydrated and it can lead to other problems with your body.

I think u should just suck it up and drink plain water. You dont need to enjoy every sip you take but it will hydrate your body and make you feel a lot better than just drinking sodas. I went on vacation for 5 days on a resort and all i drank was juices and sodas I started to feel sick and so unenergetic my last 2 days,
