Anyone tried quitting soft drinks recently?

I might drink a 6-pack of Sprite in a year. I just stick to water and iced tea on occassions.

I quit two years ago after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Only drink water and once in a blue moon G2. Saved my life.

i drastically quit down drinking pop (or soda whatever u call it) and shredded weight. Like, from 280 to 235 with very minimal working out (oddly), just eating better. The beginning is tough but you get over it and it becomes easy.

I mean I still have from time to time but truth be told when I drink a pepsi now it tastes really sweet and feels like my teeth are gonna fall out so its made me not too interested in drinking anyways.

Best part is, if u have a shit day and badly eat, you dont really gain cause of all the calories u saved not drinking shitty pop all day

Well I made it past day one.

Going to try for three days now. I weighed 225 last night when I got on the scales. I haven't changed anything with my diet yet - I want to see how much I drop in a month by quitting sodas.

I quit drinking pop and have been able to stick with MIO or another flavoring for water.

That damn MIO has my favorite, Sugar Free Kool-Aid, discontinued. SF Kool-Aid is way better, too...

4 days down - 4 lbs lighter.

Also cut out candy/sweets too. Everything else diet wise has stayed the same.

Didnt you get the headache from hell? I have an occasional supersmall coke (glass bottle, real sugar, its a latin american thing)

To sip while I stuggle at work its usually diet ginger ale for me.

No headaches - my stomach was tore up pretty bad though. I am still getting some caffeine through black coffee. I don't want to try to overdo it and stop caffeine too.

well done!

I drink sodas at work since the vending machine doesn't offer diet iced tea and I hate drinking just water with a meal. I have MIO so I'll start using that now. I don't know why I didn't think of that earlier.

Thanks.

I drink 1-2 sodas a day (12 oz cans) and much more on the week and just like Coke too much to quit. I quit for basically 2 months earlier this summer and it sucked for the first week but i eventually got used to it. The problem was that I just like soda too much and kept craving it
