I drink an easy 5 cans of soda a day. I can't give blood, because they would only be able to get orange Sunkist donation. I've tried diet, puke! I exercise like a mofo and generally eat good. But quitting soda would be like a heroin addict saying "I'm just gonna take a Vitamin C tomorrow". The longest I quit was 3 months and I was a grumpy fooking wreck. Now I know why terrorist attacked on 9/11! It was to get into the soda machine at the Trade Center.
I've been on my own quest to stop drinking soda which I chronicle at my site. I find what works best is to replace it with those drink mixes, the ones that have caffeine and fizz work really well. Thanks for the tips!
i am tring to stop but seriously i can't espacilly because most of my family drinks soda so it's very hard to stop and some of my bones really hurts because of it

I don't drink much soda, perhaps one 20oz per week. But I do drink a fair amount of sugarless lemonade, be it Sugar Free (aspartame sweetened) Crystal Light, or cans of Diet Tropicana Lemonade (also sweetened with aspartame). What is the downside to drinking these beverages on a daily basis ?
Chris,
Yes - it's bad!

Hey Adrian,
If Diet Sodas dont have real sugar in them, why are they bad for you?
Uhh, well, I eat really healthy meals but I think my portions are a bit off... but now I have increased my exercise according to your plans and stopped drinking my soda again...
Laura,
Other than NOT drinking soda - what else have you tried to lose weight?

Hey!
I'm 16 and trying to lose about 5-6kgs.. I've had soda (or fizzy drinks as we call them here) since i was about three and last year i completely stopped drinking them and nothing changed.. i've started drinking them again and still nothing happened.. i find that really weird..
why do you think this is?
also, i have a friend that's really quite thin and she drinks sodas like there's no tomorrow!
i'm so confused!
Amanda,
I don't think it's BAD for you overall but you may want to limit it if you're trying to lose weight
Is drinking decaffinated unsweet tea bad for you? I know tea has antioxidants in it but I am not sure if it's good for you.
I drink about 3 to 4 12 oz. cans of soda per week. I don't drink it for the caffeine, decaffeinated works fine for me. I don't crave the sugar either. I just love the way an ice cold soda tastes when it goes down. I seriously doubt that I will ever give it up. Although I used to drink 10 or more can per week.
I know soda is bad. I drink probablly 3 sodas or more a day, and a lot of the times I HAVE to have 1 in the morning! My little sister who's probablly a bigger soda drinker than me, just stopped cold turkey a week ago, and I already see results, so now it motivated me! I stopped drinking soda 2 days ago, although yesterday, I DID have a few sips of a fountain soda! It's definitely hard, but I am biting my tongue about it, and drinking lots of tea, juice, and I even had more water! I will leave another comment to inform everyone how I'm doing! Thanks

Yes it is - Look at fast weight loss tip #29 to see why
Is diet soda as bad for you as regular? I know it doesn't have sugar but I've heard it's just as bad if you're trying to lose weight.
Thanks, Katya
Rachel,
try looking at this to curb cravings for soda & sugar
Wow reading this makes me feel like your all doing great, I drink a case(24 12 oz cans) every 2 1/2 days, its usually the 3rd day that i buy a new one. I'd say about 10 cans a day, Im 27 and have been doing this for about 10 years. I only drink Mellow Yellow, which I know is unhealthy. But I do have a seriuos addiction to it. Its probable its the only thing I drink almost every day, very occasional I have a bottle of water or glass of milk. I understand how bad it is for me, but I get irratated, upset, almost lost if I do not have my soda next to me at all times. Beyond your chart, Is there any way to really defeat this? I just dont think Im strong enough to stop by taking less every week, That makes me think I would have to count them (which I dont)and than Id fill deprived and want it even more HELP
i quit drinking soda about 3 weeks ago. i was drinking about 5ish cans of soda a day, sometimes more if i was having a long day at work. when i quit, it was cold turkey. i didn't experience headaches or anything. i don't love drinking water, but i do love the taste of sparkling water that is like 50 cents for a liter. and i love vitamin water, which sucks because it has a lot of sugar, but it tastes very good and is not soda.
To stop drinking soda..now thats a hard thing to do. I was addicted to soda. Even if it had caffein. Every night i would wake up and go straight to my refrigerater to drink soda. If i didnt drink soda i wouldnt be able to sleep. Thats how addicted i wasto sada. I would also drinkabout 4 cans of mountain dew everyday..even after my workout.Until one day my doctor told me to stop drinking and eating junk food. I saw that as an opportunity and so i did. Now ive been soda free for more than a year now
debra terry,
One can a day is a good start for the first week but don't get down on yourself if you drink more than that your first week but make sure that later on down the line that each week you're drinking less & less and as always...

I will not lie it is the taste that keeps me drinking the soda. I love the flavor. I hate water and the bland taste it has, and all those flavored water drinks. GROSS. And diet sodas are no better. What can I do to replace my sodas? I have know doubt that sodas are the reason I have added so much weight. I totally live off the stuff throughout the week. What can/should I do?
Thanks,Nilo
