Have you ever given up soda pop?

there is no longer something 'risky' approximately soda. (i'm particular the different poster can clarify what's 'poisonous' approximately water with sugar and CO2 in it.) this is empty energy and not in all probability necessary at any age, yet once you may furnish could count on yoru family individuals and your possibilities. 3 or 4 could be ok as an occassional handle. (real tale -- mutually as hubby beverages various soda, I not often if ever drink it. I do basically no longer look after it. So this is not something I ever concept to furnish my daughter whilst she grew to become into youthful. She could occassionally get flat coke to handle a abdomen soreness, yet for real beverages, she drank milk and water and juice. whilst she have been given to be around 4ish i presumed she could have some soda if she needed it, so sooner or later whilst we've been out for a meal, I asked her if she needed some coke. Her respond? "yet mommy, i've got not got a tummy soreness." She's now 21, and nevertheless would not care lots for soda.

I gave up soda because I wanted to seriously cut down on my sugar intake. I learned that in my quest to lose weight it was not fat that was my problem it was sugar! its been a while since ive had soda..whenever i drink any if i do at all its always diet. no sugar no fat. and ive grown accustomed to it. as result i have lost some weight and feel better then i use to. some clothe fit better and i feel my confidence returning to me.

Granted giving up a habit is not easy and i can understand why it stings for you. its hard for me all the time to not look at a coke bottle and want to gulp it down or even pass by the candy section. but dont worry it does get better and gets easier.

I gave up diet pop about two years ago because of migraines. It was very difficult to do and took a couple months to adjust, but was certainly worth the pain. I find that I am not as hungry either now that I've replaced it with water. Try eating something else less addicting that you enjoy to suppress the cravings until you are past it. Good luck.

I just decided not to drink it, and that was that.

There are plenty of other, and far more healthy, things to drink in soda's place. Water suited me just fine.

Not to mention the money saved when not buying any soda - as the rest of the family went on a soda embargo by default as well. It's been a few years now and no one misses the soda.

I rarely drink Soda. I use it to reward myself, but normally I only drink it once in three (?) months. My parents don't buy it, and even though there are vending machines at school I just don't go to the trouble.

If you want to overcome your diabetes start by exercising self control. Honestly, try orange juice or apple juice or even just plain water. Some juices taste much better than carbonated soda.

I gave up on soda pop because I was having a problem with cavities. I went about a month without, but I missed it. Decided to brush more often. lol

I had given up Iced tea (not soda pop but w/e) for a while because I wanted to see if my teeth would get whiter without drinking caffeine. It worked a bit but I couldn't stay away long.

You just have to fight for what you want, if its for diet reasons, you just have to fight. I am pregnant, and I was addicted to cocacola, sunkist, tahian treat, and occasional pepsi. I am now 3 months soda free, and im not happy about it and I cant wait to screw open a bottle and drink it. Thats what I plan to do, first day in the hospital after birth, I am going to have the biggest coke ever! Good luck with your soda kicking habit, but mine is only temporary, I cant do it.

You know what is just as good...teas

I haven't had a soda in 4 years.

If you want fizz, Sparkling mineral water is best. I recommend IZZE. It has the perfectly satisfying blend of sparkling water and fruit juice. Very thirst-quenching. It leaves you feeling like you drank refreshing water instead of carbonated soda.

If it is sweeteners your avoiding, stay away from ingredients ending in "-ose": glucose, fructose, sucrose, etc. Use honey instead. For allergies, use "local honey".
