Soda is an unhealthy beverage because it's high in calories and sugar but low in vitamins and minerals. Coca-Cola is one example of a type of soda that's sugary and packed with calories, but Coke Zero is one alternative that is sugar-free.
I am currently on the HCG diet, The Diet Coke is what is keeping me alive! I have 2 young kids and whenever they get a treat I crave it until I get a sip of my diet coke. Obviously you cant overdo it, I only have one can (if that) daily, and only when my cravings kick up. my weight loss has been about 2 1/2 lbs daily.
