Break the Soda Habit!
If you're used to drinking a can (or two or three) of regular soda a day, it can be hard to switch to water. But believe me, your body will thank you! Try these tips from fellow members for breaking the soda habit: - Don't keep an endless supply of soda in the fridge. Buy only enough to have one a day, and ration it out.
- If you can't go cold turkey, switch to diet soda to help wean yourself. Diet drinks taste a lot better than they used to!
- Replace soda with water or unsweetened iced tea for just a week — then have a can. You may be surprised to find you've lost the taste for it!
- Stop drinking soda out of a can. Instead, fill a glass with ice, then add the soda. You'll drink less soda, and it will be easier to eventually wean yourself off it.
- Calculate the calories. If you drink one soda a day for a year, that's 58,400 calories, or almost 17 pounds!
I probably drink about 3 cans of diet coke a day! My goal is to at least cut that down by one, starting tomorrow I'm going to switch to water for lunches!!! Anyone with me?

That is a great idea!
A couple of years ago I stopped drinking regular soft drinks, and now I drink only diet drinks.

I'm not a huge pop drinker, but this is what I have found helps:
I buy mineral water (or any sparkling water) and mix it with juice at home.
Cheers to All :-)

I'm not much of a soda drinker.
---yea.....thanks for sharing!!
Adding: Have just poured myself a 20oz'er of water, and decided to try out the Crystal Light Iced Tea....yum! A lot sweeter than I imagined it would be, but good! (And boasts being 99% caffeine free!!)
