I know there are no calories or any other nutritional content, but didn't know if any of the other substances in it work against you. I am having a hard time staying away from it and don't know if I really need to or not. Thanks

But, that being said, if you just HAVE to have a pop, diet might be the best choice. t -------------- I am training for birthdays. Be here. Live. Love. Hope. Now. Faith. Believe. You. - Keith Urban

Drink more water. 6 meals, not 3. Consume less carbohydrates, if any, at night. No more soda. follow these six simple rules strictly for a couple months, an tell me you don't see results. But how many of these do you break every day? -------------- Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind.
