"Diet sodas will work well as a replacement for your normal pop. I have yet to see any that contained a significant amount of sodium."

Average cola drink- 15 g sodium
Average diet cola drink- 57g sodium
Amount per serving in 12oz can- 2.5
Average soda drinker drinks 3.5 sodas per day

Diet soda is better for you in that it contains less fatty acids and such, but it just creates a whole other problem. Lots of water is good because it will energize your muscles when it's time to work out.

Yes you need sodium to help retain fluid, but there are better, healthier places to get it.
