If it has 0 carbs you can drink it, though it's suggested to avoid aspartame, which those drinks are probably sweetened with. I try to limit myself to 3 or less a day, and only if I have all my water. Usually I don't even have that many though.

Kroger carries a flavored water with sucalose (Splenda) the strawberry and grape are my favs. Its carbonated and tastes like it has sugar this may fool your body into thinking its having sugar and may slow down you progress, its a theory some people have come up with. I havent had a problem it, has been my saving grace when I need something sweet to taste. Soda pop is not the best for me because of all the artificial colorings and such linked to cancers. Plus all the nutra sweet causes me to have headaches and stomach aches.
