Joe recently joined me and made the switch to diet pop. When he realized how many calories he could cut just by not drinking them, it was a no-brainer. Since then, we’ve tried quite a few different diet soft drinks: Dr. M, Meijer’s Dr. Pepper rip-off (bland), Sunkist (yum), Cherry 7-Up (ok), A&W root beer (sucky) and A&W creme soda (totally yummy awesome). The Sunkist and creme soda are my favorites. It was all I drank besides water when we were in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n
I’ve been trying to cut back on carbonated beverages, however, because I think it messes with my acid reflux. So we’ve been buying those Crystal Light packets you add to bottled water. Between the name brand and generic, we currently have 10 boxes or more of the stuff. My favorites are the Crystal Light fruit punch and iced tea, although the latter is a little weaker than I like. The fruit punch is fantastic, however. It’s like Gatorade but stronger and only 5 calories. I also just tried the Crystal Light lemonade for the first time today and it is so good! I have a feeling I’ll be drinking a lot of it moving forward. <\/p>\n
Of course, there are rumors the aspartame in these diet drinks causes cancer. Not sure whether I believe that or not. Every time you turn around there’s a new health report saying something they pushed on you to eat\/drink is no longer as good for you as they once said it was, or vice versa. So I figure that no matter what you consume, you’re screwed anyway. <\/p>\n
