cold turkey.


Question Posted Sunday February 26 2006, 4:37 pm

Hey Guys =D
Okay I'm working towards a healthier lifestyle for myself ( less junk food, more exercising ) and so far its working out great! However I'm having the worst time giving up soda. I love love love coke and I drink like 2 or 3 cans a day! I know this is really bad for me but how do I stop? I can't just STOP drinking them, and I've tried drinking less and less each day but its not working out so great. Any ideas?

Thank you so much!

i had this same problem too, and when we talked to my doctor about it he said that everytime i drink a coke, drink two glasses of water. i guess it kind of evens out and it works pretty well and im losing weight faster!

I have a problem with the old coca cola myself!
And the diet kind is....eww.

Since I have had to switch or go cold turkey, I have found that the C2 coke is the best substitute with less calories. Next is the coke Zero. It isn't bad.

Of course none of it is "good for you". But whats a girl to do. *sipping' some zero" :)

what i'd say is try not to buy or see any. that way you dont have any erges to drink some. If that doesnt work get addicted to gum or fruits instead hahahah sorry, tell me if i helped!

First you need to find out what it is about the coca-cola you are "addicted" to Yes it could be an addiction. Try caffiene free coke, and see if thats it, then try caffiene free diet coke. ease off slowley and try to switch to water.. Good luck!

You can still drink soda, but a healthier type. Drink diet and caffeine free sodas. I drink Diet Pepsi, and it does taste weird, but I enjoy it. Try to limit it to 10 cans in a week. I hope I helped =)

You don't have to give up soda forever. Try limiting it down to two cans per day for a week...then one can per day for a week. Then try making it one can per two days..(if you catch my drift) Just keep decreasing the amount you drink day by day. You can still drink a soda once in a while, you know.
But if you're really determined to be soda-free forever, get it out of your sight so you won't be tempted. Try substituting soda for water or juice...Hope I helped!
