The Feingold diet never worked for us, but interesting to see that it does for some people. There is something disagreeable I can't define about the way diet soda makes me feel. Various doctors have impressed on me that non-diet sodas are really not good for you. Over the summer I was taking meds that caused dehydration and was required to avoid all caffeine so I took the opportunity to get used to drinking water. Used to hate it but if it's cold and prefereably filtered I like it pretty well now. You can't just drink nothing here, especially in the summer.
