Need advice on how to quit diet soft drinks.?

Yep, happens to me also when I stop drinking pop/soda. You can switch to other low caffeine drinks to help make the transition easier. Drink unsweetened Iced tea but don't get addicted to this. Cold Turkey hardly works in most cases. Slow transitions always work the best.

It will be tempting at times to have that diet drink, but just will yourself not to. (If you need don't carry extra money with you during the day.)

@ Oo, Diet pop/soda contains no sugar.

I have suffered from pustular psoriasis for years and I drink as much diet pepsi as you do and I am positive it has nothing to do with your getting psorasis. How do I know this, because I have been in a remission of sorts for about 5 years after suffering for 17 straight years and during the last 5 years I have consumed more diet pepsi than ever before. It may not be one of the healthiest choices we could make by some peoples standards but there are a lot of worse choices out there. It really bothers me when people try to pin the blame for psoriasis on something that we consciously do instead of understanding the disease and knowing that psoriasis sufferers would walk through fire if we thought it would cure it. Psoriasis is thought to be a genetic disease that is autoimmune and can be very difficult to control. There are various treatments available and can be quite disheartening when you don't get immediate results. You might not get immediate results so don't expect a miracle and if it happens then it is really great. When I was first starting to break out with it I would have it for a few months and then it would go away all by itself. Then 6 months later it would come back. Each time it came back it laster for longer periods of time until it wouldn't go away at all. Don't feel self conscious about it, it is just a skin condition and not contagious so don't get into the habit of hiding it and letting it live your life. Good luck to you

the caffeine part I'm not so sure, but I'd say cordial is perfect for the soft drink part. Start off by adding a ratio of cordial to water that creates a similar taste intensity to soft drinks, then you can start to slowly cut down, until you're barely adding any flavouring, then none at all. Also, you'll be keeping yourself hydrated which is always good! :)

ur body was detoxing. Thats what happens, u feel worse before u feel better because ur body is eliminating built up toxins. U should just ride thru it and drink atleast a litre of water a day, it will help.

As for the aspartame addiction, watch this

and research it and learn the devastating effects it has on ur mind and body, learn the names and numbers it goes by, and avoid it at all costs. Best of luck.

You sure it just wasn't a sugar problem?
