How to drink less soda
How I did it: I still drink soda. Unless I find out it's fatal to me (I suppose it might be eventually), I will still occasionally drink it.
However, like more effective diets, it's less about cutting out something I LOVE and more about moderating and changing how and why I get a soda.
Now usually I ask myself if I REALLY have to have a soda. Cavities and crap also really help--when you're paying for the filings on your own, you definitely look for ways to prevent getting more!
I also find it harder to finish a full bottle (not the 2 liter ones) of soda. Even though you can buy a bottle with a meal, I find it really hard to finish. Too much sugar in my body all at once.
Lessons & tips: Things like actively choosing water, juice, soy milk, milkshakes or tea
is helpful. Getting water and a soda or just getting water, drinking
it, and then deciding if I'm still thirsty.
Granted, some things just taste better with a soda. I like curry with a
Pepsi, with the mix of sweet and spicy. When I grab a sandwich I like
the having a soda. But it's all about moderation and thinking ahead in the future.
