Diet Coke / 7UP Free etc

[charlie000]

I don't drink this stuff regularly. But, for the past 1 week I've been fasting around 18 - 24 hours and after every meal, I crave a carbonated drink.

I used to crave Coca Cola many years ago, but I stopped that and moved to the diet versions, I know they use sweeteners etc, but it just gives me that kick. I like how it feels in my mouth lol... it just helps me relax...

Someone on here said to go carbonated or sparkling water... but that is really bland... and quite expensive?

Have you thought about flavored carbonated waters? Don't know if you're in UK or USA, but in USA Walmart has a brand called Clear American. I get mandarin orange, black cherry, cherry limeade, and white grape if they have it. 59 cents for a 33 oz bottle.

Soda water is quite nice and is quite cheap. If drinking at home add lemon, or lime slices or if you like it cucumber . Pour the drink and then put back in the fridge for a few minutes to let the juices infuse. Plain water infused these slices is even cheaper cheaper and again it help if you refrigerate before drinking .

I have occasional Diet Pepsi or lemonade but more regularly I drink Tesco’s own brand flavoured sparkling water from this range:

Negligible carbs and more interesting than tap water!
Edit to add, it comes in 1 litre bottles 3 for £1.

I like this stuff - the raspberry and apple one is good:

I must say though, we have found it difficult to kick the Diet Coke habit.....it's one of very few vices left.

I've been drinking the ugly drinks lately, was a bit strange at first but once I got used to the taste I quite like it now. Finding my numbers are a bit better now too. (Don't know if that's just me)
