I drink diet coke and vodka with lime. The good news is, you get a little buzz quicker (or at least I do) when LC'ing. Bad news is sometimes it stalls me. Not always though. I drank Friday night and lost 3 pounds this weekend. It just depends on how often you do it I think. My metabolism it really revved up right now, I don't know why but I haven't stalled after drinking in a few weeks. Have fun!!!
