I feel I'm one of the few people out there that doesn't like to drink soda pop. It is full of sugar and acid, gives me a head rush, and makes me feel tired. I tried diet, but not only does it taste nasty, I read so much research about how aspartame is toxic. So, I stay away from it for the most part.

I recently came across Virgil's diet pop. It replaces sugar with stevia (all natural sweetner), and it has lots of natural supplements in it. It's actually pretty good and maybe even good for you. So I guess if I want some pop, I'll have to have a Virgil's diet rootbeer.

Do you drink pop? What kind(s)? How do you feel about it? How much do you drink per day?

I haven't had soda for at least a year. Before that, it was very rare. It is not good for you and a waste of calories in my opinion.

I drink diet coke, practically every day. Not sure how much I drink since I drink it out of a two litre. Just depends on the day too. I'm fine with it! LOL!

I start each and every day with a cold Diet Coke.

Then I have one more mid-morning- either Diet Coke or Diet Dr. Thunder (Wally World's diet Dr. Pepper).

I don't think I could function without it. I'm ok with the amounts, actually since I used to drink WAY more of it and have cut back to the current level.

I love my Dr. Pepper, but DH was always telling me how many calories are in it! I of course will mention how a breastfeeding mom needs an extra 500 calaries a day! Of course I could probalby do without caffene, right? But, I decided a while back that I'd switch to Diet to see if I could drop the last 10 or so pounds just by cutting some calories... didn't help! BUT, I'll stick with Diet for now. Maybe next I'll move onto the Caffene Free Diet Dr Pepper... I don't know if I could survive without at least a LITTLE caffene! We'll see!

Nope. I don't drink soda, tea, or coffee. Crazy, I know, but I just don't like the taste (or the mouth feel of soda).

I don't drink pop often - mainly if I'm visiting at someone's house and they offer it, or maybe a holiday. I do drink diet when I do tho.
