Hi Kristin!
I'm a newbie too, but have been "lurking" & reading the wealth of information on this site for a little over a week---WOW! just about sums it up!
Well, anyway, the consensus does appear to be to try and drink mainly water---we need a TON in order to flush the fat out of our bodies. Diet soda, iced tea, etc. will NOT do the same thing--at least for most people.
I'm just about into my 3rd week of LC'ing & was a HUGE diet mountain dew FREAK--I'm talking about 2-3 Liters/day!!! I thought that I could do this diet & still drink it--after all, no carbs, or calories for that matter. But, I've found if I drink more than 12 oz per day, I will NOT see the scale move!
I really am surprised how much I am beginning to like the taste of water! And, am even more surprised that I didn't go through some kind of "caffeine withdrawl" from not having my "dew". In fact, I've not had the headaches & mood swings that I would often get if I went a few too many hours without my "fix" (of diet mt dew, of course!) Now, I'll "treat" myself with a glass at dinner if my water intake for the day is good. Try that, you'll be surprised, you probably won't miss it as much as you think!
