When dieting, my family and I are restricting all kinds of stuff we eat, and drinking pretty much only water. On a diet we get really bored, and things like Diet Coke are extremely tempting. Not only does the bottle say it’s zero calories, but it also has caffeine and tastes so much more interesting than normal low-cal diet food or water. This is the appeal for us, we’re always trying to consume fewer calories and are looking for a way to have something that tastes less boring.

- duped 3y agoI switched to using a sodastream for getting my soda fix after being addicted to Diet Coke for years. I find it doesn't have the same effect on my appetite that DC and aspartame does.
- JohnBooty 3y agoI find that carbonated water drinks really scratch that itch for me. Plain carbonated water with ice and maybe a few drops of lemon or lime juice is "interesting" enough for me.
- vGPU 3y agoAgreed. I got a sodastream initially because my addiction to Diet Coke was becoming rather expensive with 2022 prices, and I grew bored of the syrups very quickly and just started drinking fizzy water. Now I almost never bother with soda or flavors at all, aside from as an occasional treat when eating out.
