Soda? To drink or not to drink?

Why are people giving up diet soda? I can see why someone would give up regular soda but why diet? I drink diet soda with my lunch about 2x a week, and maybe one on the weekend. That's it.

I have a friend who weights well over 300 lbs and she drinks diet soda constanly. It's her water. I would not be surprised if she brushed her teeth with it too. Now I can see why my friend would need to at least cut down on it. My gosh! How does she stay hydrated? My friend has been over weight all her life. I've known her for 12 years. There has been a steady increase in her weight that whole time. She is getting the lapband procedure done soon. I hope it works.

Maybe the diet soda stimulates her appetite. For me it is a dessert. It fills me up. I eat less when I have a diet soda with my lunch.

What do you all think?
