Default Re: Diet Coke with Splenda?

Hiya!

Yeah I learned today that you should avoid all artificial sweeteners particularly in induction and completely if possible throughout. Also...any soda....in general causes you to retain water. I would really just cut out soda and opt for a sparkling water with no sweeteners.

Congrats on deciding to start...be strict...and be strong.
