hi Shadowlady.... I too prefer the clear pops to the cola.. they taste too syrupy and sweet for me... even the diet ones.... I occasionally have a diet 7UP.. but it has aspartame in it which can cause some people to stall.... are you using aspartame in anything else? If you are and still losing weight then the diet pop will probably not hinder your loss... but plain ole water is the best thing for ya that is why I only occasionally have pop..

I actually love Ice Tea in the summer time, but now sure if the unsweetened kind or diet ones are okay for LC...
