Diet Coke? Can we have it? (P1)

I thought I read correctly in the book that we could not have ANY soda during P1. I've only been drinking water with a little lemon or with a half pack of sugar substitute in it for taste. It's really helped with my water consumption but I am a COKEAHOLIC!! And I have 4 to 5 cases of diet coke here that I told my husband to hide from me until after P1. However, I was reading another post here today and it said that diet soda was okay in moderation.

I have the new book and that is what I am following. I think I have to go back to read some information.

Anyone have any drink ideas for Phase 1? I'm in week one of phase 1 (5 days) and FEEL GREAT! I have yet to weight myself and will not until the end of the second phase. I only have a little to lose so I know that the weight will not fall off like that. It seems that when you weigh more the quicker the weight loss but when you weight less the slower the weight loss. Anyone else notice that???

139/?/(range of 129-135) I'm on my way!!!

Yes you can drink soda on P1, as long as it's diet you will be just fine.

Hi everyone!!

I "allow" myself to have a diet caffenine free coke AFTER I have had my 3-4 16.9 oz of bottled water. I was a regular diet coke fanatic - drinking mountain dew when out and about. I have not had too much of a problem adjusting to the caffenine free diet coke - and cut my coffee consumption in half PLUS using the lite coffee....


I also have spiced up my water with sugar substitutes and lemom/lime juice.

I also have a pitcher of un-sweetened decaf tea in the fridge when I cant handle another drop of water.

you might consider diet root beer

crystal lights

snapple diet teas

diet cream soda

add some sugar free flavoring to the water


I have finished 4 16.9 oz bottles of my water requirement and am on my way to the office fridge for my diet caffenine free coke - I only bring in one at a time so i cant cheat during the day!!

go girls!!
