know it, but it's so valuable to have the taste of something sweet that I keep going back. I don't hate water, I drink it as well. I just have found that the tastes in a low-carb diet are just not terribly enticing; I never liked meat very much, except turkey; I have always liked vegetables, but now am pretty darn sick of them; I very rarely eat pasta, rice, bread, sweets, or potatoes because they raise my BG so much. So the restrictive diet is pretty boring and I end up not even wanting to cook anything or eat anything. It's a vast sea of unappealing meals. Diet soda helped by contributing a couple of different tastes to the vast sea.
