Had soda for the first time in a few weeks.

Not sure why but I've been really focusing on my diet and trying to train smart.  In the past soda never really changed with me, but then again I never really "stopped" drinking it.  I would eat "cleaner" but I would still have soda as my primary fluid intake.  Now it's mainly water, tea, and chocolate milk which I LOVE post run.  Had some soda today and it just tasted so fake.  Sludgy in a way if that's even a word.  Anyone else experience that?  My friend said after a while off fast food it will taste like crap but I never believed him.  But damn!  It feels so much better to eat real foods.  Kinda wonder how much I've killed my training plan due to a crap diet in the past.

I was hooked on diet pepsi for a while but completely cut it out about 6 months ago.  When I was drinking that shit I would get headaches almost on a daily basis. Once I cut it out,the headaches stopped.  Aspertame is bad news.

Agree. Crystal light and diet coke give me a huge headache.

Yeah, I had the same issue with diet.  Dr.Pepper was my drink of choice.  But yesterday when I had it I felt like complete crap.  I think soda is bad news in general.  :p

I try to stay away from soda as much as possible.
