Question Diet Rite Question

I'm a Diet Pepsi Addict! I drink maybe 24 cans a day if not more. I havent yet started Atkins (aiming for sunday). Anyway, I was wondering if anyone ahd tips on the amounts of Diet Rite to consume. The book mentions splenda sweetened diet sodas are induction friendly but it listed no limitation to ounces at all.

So, does anyone out there who is familiar with Diet Rite have an technique for carb counting Diet Rite or daily intake?

The limitation is built in. You're allowed 3 servings of sweetener a day- and Diet Rite is sweetened. I believe 1 can= 1 serving (check the label on it to see if that's how they label it. I can't remember).

This is the perfect time to wean yourself off of them! Do you know how much sodium you are drinking? Gosh....Caffeine is an addiction like sugar and carbs. You might give it a shot, induction is gonna give you a headache anyways....

lol thats true about the headache lol

weening off it was the plan i just wanted to know where to start my weening :P
i figured a day or two of weening was in order prior to starting. i already have the diet rite maybe itll get my caffeine headaches started early. haha.

i had thought about the 3 servings a day rule. wasnt sure how it translated to bottled/ canned drinks. ill take that as a rule so i dont sabotage myself.

Weening yourself off those drinks will be a real gift to your body. If you use the 3 per day sweetner rule for your diet sodas, then remember you'll have to forgo other sweetened things... which is a good thing really as you'll want to kill that "sugar monster" dead!

Hope you don't get too much of a withdrawal headache.

between the withdrawl from caffeine, quitting cigaretes, and Switching into ketosis i think headaches are a "slight" possibility. :P
