Quitting pop/soda/whatever you call it....

I keep saying it, but I mean it this time. I am stopping. As hard as it will be, I am doing it cold turkey. Just having 1 glass a day won't help me quit.

How long after you stopped drinking pop did you notice some weight loss?

Why not drink diet? Some people just hate it. But some people think it's still bad- why? Does it retain water or make you bloated or something? Cause when I lost weightonce I drank it all the time cause the bubbles make you feel full.

Its just as bad as regular. It makes you bloat...because of the sodium.

U know instead of soda I came up w the great mixture idea of just using club soda and mixin it with kool aid or any juice really so the beverage gets carbonated and seems to u like its a soda just healthy!

Isn't that kind of like those sparkling waters?

The artifical sweeteners in diet sodas are supposedly a carcinogen.


But, this is what Mayo Clinic has to say on the subject:

I have been drinking a lot of iced water, and it tastes good, haha. I don't like water without ice though.

Ew, I didn't know that. But at least it's just water weight, and it'll fall off of you faster than fat put on by sugar & calories in regular.

Ever since I got pregnant & started trying not to drink pop, I drink half club soda, half juice ALL the time! It's so good.

Soda, whether it's diet or not is not good for you. I honestly never drink it. If it's the fizz you like, try carbonated flavoured water, it's way better for you. You won't lose drastic weight from just quitting soda, but it will improve your over all health, and help with weight loss.

Umm, kool-aid isn't good for you either.

Well I hope to seem some weight loss considering the amount of pop I usually consume. Not telling you how much, haha. Its BAD, real bad.

It will help with the weight loss. My mom used to drink coke, ( which is horrible for you) I swear to god she would drink a six pack in one day  
I always thought it was really disgusting, it ended up eating away at some of her stomach.

Wow... a six pack a day?! That's insane! And, with the way soda is priced right now...it would be super expensive!

I usually drink a 2 liter a day   sometimes more.

I have a huge addiction to caffiene. I used to drink that much soda and at least a pot of coffee (in high school - and I never gained weight). I cut out coffee though - I have maybe 1 cup, twice a month now.

I have some tylenol ready for the monster headaches I know I will get.
