Drinking a reasonable amount of diet soda a day, such as a can or two, isn't likely to hurt you. The artificial sweeteners and other chemicals used in diet soda are safe for most people, and there's no evidence that these ingredients cause cancer. Some types of diet soda are even fortified with vitamins and minerals. But diet soda isn't a health drink or a cure for weight loss. Although switching from regular soda to diet soda will save you calories, some studies suggest that drinking soda of any type leads to obesity and other health problems. And healthier choices abound. Start your day with a small glass of 100-percent fruit juice. Drink skim milk with meals. Sip water throughout the day. For variety, try sparkling water or enjoy a squirt of lemon or cranberry juice in your water. Save diet soda for an occasional treat.
It is best to drink as much water as possible. Your suppose to drink 8 glasses or more and water cleans you out.
Besides the stuff listed above carbonated water (soda) isn't good for you and it makes your stomach swells.
Get a bottle of soda and shake it up. Then open it and quickly place a balloon on top of it. Watch how the balloon gets big as if your blowing into it. This is what it does to your stomach.

I like what u metioned here, along with smoothies in the morning!!! cranberrys, strawberrys, and kiwi, natural stuff to make your own drinks!! water in between, i think i can get used to that??? but i dont know about the juice, 100 percent juice is likely to contain 100 percent sugar, which is not good for your body either???
Granted there are better things to drink than a sugary juice, but its much prefered to a soda, diet or regular. and it has alot of vitamins in it which is good. The complex carbohydrates (in this case sugar) found in vegetables, grains, and fruits are good for you; the simple sugars found in sodas, candies, icings, and packaged treats can do harm, at least when eaten in excess

Part of the reason diet soda can be 'bad' for you is it can keep you craving more sweets. If you can drink one can a day and not consume other sweet stuff, then it's probably OK. If you are consuming or craving lots of carbs and sweets, then, cutting out the artificially sweet stuff could be helpful.
Diet stuff is really bad for you
