I keep myself on a pretty constant caloric intake (1800 calories a day) so diet drinks are one less thing to have to track. A 20 oz. bottle of Coke has 60 grams of carbs, and I limit myself to 180. That's a third of my days carbs without having any real food, on just one bottle. Diet drinks normally have zero carbs. Plus my dad's diabetic so I grew up around Diet Coke and Diet Dr. Pepper.
Lately I've been drinking more Crystal Light, good stuff and no calories. I recommend the peach tea.
