Every girl at my school aspired to be as thin as possible. The toilets smelled of vomit. At lunch, groups of dieting girls – myself included – would walk arm in arm to the corner shop, skipping food to buy Diet Coke, which filled you up and had zero calories. Diet Coke denoted thinness and social cachet. We all wanted a taste.My morning Diet Coke rapidly becomes the best part of my day – I crave it in an animalistic way and I eke it out in tiny sips to make the precious cola last as long as possible. The Husky Coca Cola Mini Fridge is officially licensed by Coca Cola and features a stylish red and white 1960s design for a fun retro feel. Generous Capacity
Anything of a nature that for hygiene or associated health and safety - this includes the Outdoor Spas, Mattresses and Divan Sets More than anything, I feel peaceful. “When you’re addicted to something, your brain is always thinking about where you’ll get the next hit,” says Marlow. “Drinking five cans of Diet Coke takes up a huge amount of brain space.” She is right: although I still think about Diet Coke, it doesn’t consume my thoughts like it used to. I am not constantly monitoring how many cans I have in the fridge, or when I next need to do a supermarket run.

If I can do it, anyone can,” one recovering addict says. “You’ve got this!” Another tells me she had to get colitis to quit. “The hardest part is that it calls me,” she writes. “I will never be free of that ‘Mmm, Diet Coke’ feeling. I love it.” I am a teenage anorexic. After a long day starving myself, I walk to the corner shop and reward myself with a bottle of Diet Coke. (My mum won’t buy it for the house any more, because of my addiction.) My low blood sugar makes the artificial sweetness taste euphoric.This – according to Dr Sally Marlow of King’s College London, a specialist in addiction and mental health – is because I am in physical withdrawal from the caffeine in Diet Coke. The average can of Diet Coke contains 42mg of caffeine, the equivalent of roughly two-thirds of a shot of espresso. Caffeine is a medically recognised addictive substance that, when taken in excess, activates the brain’s reward circuitry. “The caffeine will be stimulating neurotransmitter pathways, including dopamine,” says Marlow. “Your brain has become used to having a certain amount of caffeine in it and, when you take that away, you go through withdrawal. It’s physical. You get crashing headaches.” This fun and unique drinks cooler features classic branding on the glass door and silver cabinet for a retro design aesthetic, while the large 46 litre capacity can hold up to 40 x 440ml cans of drink, so it is perfect for use in an office, games room, bedroom, conservatory, kitchen, or any lounge area!

Demant explains that I have to be watchful in the future, so I don’t slip into old habits. “With any pattern that is compulsive or addictive, you have to be on the watch all the time,” says Demant. “Because you may think: ‘Oh, I’ve conquered this,’ and then five minutes later you can go to the shop to buy Coke. Always be on guard.” Marlow agrees. “What we know with most addictions is that people relapse when they think they can have just one,” she says. “For many people, it’s simply not possible. My advice is: don’t think you can just have one can. It’s not worth it.” Marlow has not drunk a Diet Coke in five years. According to Anna Jezuita, a specialist change counsellor, I’m being hard on myself. “Diet Coke has been your friend since you were four,” she says. “This is the Mount Everest of habitual behaviour. You can’t just destroy it. What you need to do is wind down one habit and develop another one, so that, beside Mount Everest, you’re building the small pebbles of a new behaviour.” I snap and drink four cans. I hide the cans in the bottom of the recycling bin, hoping my boyfriend won’t notice Each day one winner will be chosen at random from all the day’s entries to win a Diet Coke SMEG mini-fridge (the fridge is not actually that small!

Something miraculous starts to happen. I stop thinking about Diet Coke. There is no longer any Diet Coke in my fridge – and it is OK. I don’t miss it. To my astonishment, I lose a kilo. I am indifferent to the weight loss, but it is fascinating. It suggests that the artificial sweetener in the Diet Coke was triggering my appetite for sweet things. ( Studies have shown a link between drinking diet drinks and higher sugar consumption.) I want to quit. I have to quit. I quit smoking in my 20s on my first attempt, but Diet Coke is my aluminium Annapurna: I daren’t even attempt the summit. So I pitched this feature – mostly as a way of holding myself accountable – and set myself a target. By the end of January 2021, I would be Coke-free. If I am being honest with you, I didn’t think I could do it myself. I don’t want to make you beat yourself up even more,” says Aisling Pigott of the British Dietetics Association, when I ask her to tell me why drinking so much diet soda is bad for me. I can take it, I say. She relents. It leaned heavily into its association with the fashion world’ ... the late Karl Lagerfeld, a one-time Diet Coke creative director.

Marlow speculates that the bubbles in Diet Coke may increase the addictiveness of the drink. “This is only a theory, but we know that, when a person drinks champagne, they absorb the alcohol faster than if it were a glass of wine, because the bubbles increase the area that delivers alcohol into the bloodstream,” she says. “I wonder whether the bubbles in Diet Coke make you absorb the addictive substances in the drink faster.” Diet Coke was launched in 1982, seven years before I was born. I grew up watching the Diet Coke Break adverts, featuring a group of businesswomen ogling a topless hunk. The Coca-Cola Company already had a diet drink – Tab – but Diet Coke was marketed more smartly. “It has been a spectacular success since its launch,” says Prof Robert Crawford, a marketing expert at RMIT University in Melbourne and the co-editor of Decoding Coca-Cola. “It tapped into the zeitgeist of its time, which was professional women making their way in the workplace, looking good and feeling good. It also reflects the fitness craze of the period.” Stylish design– The silver cabinet features official Diet Coke branding for a timeless, retro aesthetic. Although I was concerned about the health risks of aspartame, the sweetener in Diet Coke, Pigott tells me not to worry. “Aspartame is a heavily tested sweetener,” she says. “There is no strong evidence linking it to any health consequences.” In the grand scheme of things, Pigott says, Diet Coke isn’t terrible. “It’s definitely a better option than full-sugar Coke. But it’s the amount you’re having that is potentially harmful,” she says.
