Try to stay away from any of the diet sodas unless they are made with Splenda. Many people actually retain fluid with the others. You don't have to restrict yourseld so severe, just cut out the white sugar, white bread, white rice, and white pasta. You would be amzed at what you acan still eat, almost everything, but of ourse in moderation.
The biggest change will be getting rid of the white sugar, but once you do, you will see a huge difference in the amount of energy that you have.
Good luck to you......................... :balloons:
