Well to a degree i do drink 1 0.5liter Soda in the Morning to intake my Meds but i drink 2l - 2.5l Water on top of that basically :P
But basically what has happened is that i just cant seem to get off Snacking >.>
I have a few Days ago tried drinking a Diet Soda again and it tasted horrible >.>
Like yoiu feel like you get a Heart Attack if you drink a liter of that Crap >.<
But when i wanna eat Chips or Chocolate then i have more of a Craving on there than Soda really >.>
Does anyone have Tips or explanations or like something to help maybe Crave it down? >.>
Afterall i do not would say i do it because i am a "bored eater" but more so because i just crave it to a degree as i am quite busy (atleast if Video Games and Watching Anime/Cartoons Count XD) to a degree >.>

They are the same.

They most certainly are not.

I've been a diet soda drinker for a couple decades now, though maybe not fully versed, so if you have an example to share please feel free. I said what I said because of sodas like Sprite. Previously they had a Diet Sprite. Now, that same drink is called Sprite Zero Sugar, and there is no more Diet Sprite, to my knowledge. It's the same thing in this instance.

Sprite is a bit different, but Coke, Pepsi, Mt Dew, and Dr Pepper (for example) have both Diet and Zero Sugar options. They have different sweeteners and flavors, with the Zero being closer in taste to the sugar version.
