12 Diet Cokes a Day

Elton John, Victoria Beckham and even former president Bill Clinton are a few of the famous people admitting to being hooked on Diet Coke.

I use to be too and I'm sure many people drink Coke from time to time, but Amanda Sanchez is a real Diet Coke addict that drinks more than 12 cans a day.

Sanchez says Diet Coke helps her make it through her day and this can be true, because the drinks have plenty of caffeine, which can be addictive.

Although The Coca-Cola Company said it sees nothing wrong with drinking lots of Diet Coke, some health experts say it may have health consequences down the road.

"There is some evidence that the acid load of soda, regular or diet, has an adverse affect on bone health [...] I would be very worried that if you are drinking 12 cans a day, diet or regular, it's potentially going to do damage to your skeleton, and eventually that can be a very serious problem." - David Katz

I had my Cola addiction period too, but when I started feeling restless, anxious and I had problems sleeping I said to myself "it's time to quit" and I did.

Because I do not drink alcohol, sometimes I order a Diet Coke when I'm out with my friends, but I always "neutralize" it with a glass of still water. This is a (good) habit from my "Weight Watch period".
