hidden carb warning
Unlike most diet drinks, Diet Mountain Dew is NOT carb-free, because it's made with orange juice. Yes, the label says 0g carbs, but this is a case of the manufacturer rounding down to 0. An 8 oz serving (1.5 servings per can) contains right at 0.5g, so a can has almost 1g! This can add up if you're drinking a lot of them. See http://www.lowcarbluxury.com/faq.html#33 for more info on this.
I'm not going to tell you not to drink diet sodas -- I've had a Diet Coke addiction for years now -- but Diet Mountain Dew (and all of the knockoff versions) is probably not a good choice, and you might think about finding another variety of soda. Diet Rite white grape might be one to try.
