Diet Soda...

Everyone knows how I feel about this stuff!  One can of diet cola packs almost as much caffeine as a shot of espresso, so a few cans a day could leave you fluctuating between feeling revved up and crashing. Besides triggering major dips in energy, soda makes it tougher to fall asleep come bedtime, and its acidity can damage tooth enamel if sipped daily.
Healthier swap: Go for flavored seltzer water for a fizz sans caffeine and chemicals. Or try adding sliced cucumbers to give plain old water a kick. Bonus: It will keep you hydrated to help ward off thirst-induced hunger binges later on.
Until Monday - Keep thinking veggies and protein!
