Drinking alcohol will just give you an attack of the munchies. Have a black coffee instead

Safeway is where I get mine, in the pop aisle. I just drink it neat without the gin!

So you're not wanting to drink something that contains natural sugar yet are happy to drink something that contains the horrendous Aspertame? I figure normal tonic water won't really have much of an effect on your diet

mzp

this thread ain't about sugar/sweetner/artificial stuff that's really bad for you!
I've heard it all before..
it's about finding diet tonic water in the "boondocks" as someone else called alberta!

Hi M - try Sunterra on Elbow Drive. I picked some up for my mum's last visit - she doesn't have the diet version but I think I remember seeing some. Might be worth giving them a call?

Good luck! J

I get it at Superstore. President's Choice brand. Any store supplied by Loblaws should be able to get it for you.

Fairy Snuff. You said you were craving a G&T yet are struggling because you can't find diet. I merely stated that "full fat" tonic water will do you just as well without negative impact to your diet

Margerhita.

Blender+ice+lime+tequila.

ps- go to the GYM!

Rather suprisingly half the callories in the G&T are the T alone

There are 130 calories in a regular can of tonic, compared to 150 in a can of sprite. Surprised me to find out.


Still, given the hit from the gin, I have to agree, I'd rather have one that tastes "right", but then if you are used to diet tonic, then its what you want...
