diet soda is much worse for you than regular soda. Higher sodium content and the artificial sweetener in it is pretty much poison. look up aspartame. Your weight loss might not be affected, but your health will be. Have fun with that.
+100, I hear nothing good about diet soda. I would switch to something else, maybe iced tea? Read labels.
A guy I used to work with changes the fountain soda bags in the soda machine. He saw me get diet Pepsi one day and started telling me about it. At first I didn't believe what he was saying, then he told me that he has to change the hoses for the diet Pepsi twice as often because they only last half as long. He said there is something in it that corrodes the plastic hoses. Can you imagine what it does to your insides?
I stopped drinking soda almost completely shortly after that. I still have an orange soda every now and again, but I drink more water than anything else.

this is just a guess, but its probably the methanol in the aspartame, which is also called wood alcohol and is used as a paint remover.
My advice, stop drinking ALL soda. I used to have problems with heartburn but it all went away when I quit soda. I only have a locally made root beer once in awhile now because root beer has the least amount of acid added.
Drink water.
Oh, and for whatever reason I've lost about 15 lbs since I stopped drinking diet soda along with a couple other diet changes. Its been about a month now.
diet soda's contain aspratame, and what that does, it makes your body retains more of the sugar, diet soda's are no better then regular soda's for you.
Sheldon Rampton, co-author of some of the most unflinching accounts of fraud and deception (Trust Us, We’re Experts and Toxic Sludge is Good for You) provides a detailed account of the mechanisms by which people are regularly deceived. Himself an “expert” on the workings of the Page Ranking industry and the deceptions that large corporations can inflict upon a trusting public, Rampart reminds us that things are not always as they appear and that the motivations of large corporations are generally not in the public’s best interest.
While aspartame was the single focus in Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World, Sweet Remedy demonstrates that a corrupt flagship regulatory agency has given birth to numerous toxins in our food supply.
A closer examination of the U.S. corporate power structure unveils a two-fold approach to manipulating the public. First, by attempting to shape public opinion and, second, by affecting an individual’s ability to discern Page Ranking from the truth. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent selling neuro-toxic food additives to the public. In the United States and through each nation within its global corporate grasp, maintaining a healthy mind and body is an act of civil disobedience.
Ultimately, healing has become the path of resistance for informed individuals improving their health. We interview a host of MD’s and Natural Health practitioners to gain the clearest possible perspective for a path to recovery. Perhaps the sweetest remedy this film offers is the hope provided by witnessing a variety of groups as they withstand the confusion, casualties and obstacles involved with taking control of their food and their health.

Healthy weight loss (minimizing your calorie intake with regular exercise) usually yields 1-2 pounds lost a week. On a monthly basis, that is a maximum of 8 pounds. I am skeptical to believe that statement. If it is true, I would imagine you have barely eaten, which is extremely unhealthy.
It really depends more than you think on metabolism, you'd be surprised how fast I can lose weight if I'm not cramming carbs and protein and I'm still exercising.

No I love food. I made other diet changes along with quitting soda.
I also cut out:
Fried food
Cooking oil other than olive oil
Milk except for skim
Candy bars
Anything containing high fructose corn syrup
Most of enriched flour, eat more whole wheat
Very little red meat
Pork other than lunch meat once in awhile
No butter
No mayo
Switched to egg beaters
My weightloss has leveled off now around 18lbs so I'm going to step it up with more exercise now that I have the energy. Oh and I have a terrible metabolism. If I eat what I really want to for 2 days I'd gain 5 lbs of real weight.
There's more but that's most of the changes. I have experimented with allowing soda and when I drink it the weightloss stops, diet or regular. That's proof enough for me. But then again everyone is different.
