[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2269864, member: 511345"] My personal view only is that I may/will drink diet drinks but that will not lead me to consume more carbs-ie I won't then eat more things with sugar. In that case provided it doesn't raise your blood sugar levels I think that in moderation they help give something different to drink. I also think that if you want an alcoholic drink then they help because you can add a carb free alcohol to them. I am in this mostly to keep my blood sugar levels under control. I like the side effect that is weight loss and have a lot more to lose but this is for life so if the weight loss is slow but a drink helps me cope emotionally then that's what I will do. Having said that I do find them quite sweet so my consumption at the moment (also winter here) is about a third of a can a day. I open a can and it can last for days. In summer I probably have 3 a week or so. If it doesn't impact may blood sugar levels I am okay with it. [/QUOTE]
