How to drink less soda
It made me
Feel more healthy
 "Just decided to do it, and did it."
How I did it: Just decided to do it, and did it. Went from four 1,5 l pepsi max bottles per week, to one bottle. Like that. Wasn't really all that difficult. Chose water or fruits instead of soda, or just plain ol' nothin'. |

It made me
healthier
How I did it: I just decide one day to stop drinking it. I don't crave it. I don't miss it. I had a taste it & it tasted like -blech- chemicals. Now I drink tea & water (flavored mostly). Read how I did it…
It made me
happy and healthy
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… Read how I did it…

healthier
How I did it: I haven't quit outright, but I've severely cut down and I don't drink in the evenings anymore. My girlfriend gave me a lot of support, and I learned to find alternatives that I enjoy (juice and decaf tea mainly). Finding alternatives was hard for me since I'm not a fan of drinking just water.In addition to other health concerns (which were mainly my girlfriend's concerns), I wanted to quit because it was affecting my sleep, an… Read how I did it…

How I did it: We used to always have pop lying around the house. I loved Squirt and Crush but then when I got to college there were so many other drink options, iced tea, coffee, Naked drinks, water etc and they did have a soda fountain but I just stopped drinking it because I was drinking other stuff that was better for me and I no longer wanted pop anymore! Turns out, it's not that good for you? Read how I did it…

I was doing well until Saturday night but that is within the ‘only weekends’ rule. So I’m doing okay with this one. Now to keep it up…

Over the summer it has been much easier to drink less soda. In the past, I would drink so much that I think that I definately have attained the goal of drinking less. I still probably am drinking too much so I should write a new goal with a more defined limit.

Soda?
3 months ago
Or ‘frisdrank’ as we like to call it. Today not a drop. I’ve been drinking water, tea, juice. Same yesterday actually. And the days before. On Sunday I had half a glass of Coke before I threw the rest of the (half-)bottle through the drain. Haven’t had any soda since. That’s kinda nice. I’ll start with my old rule about Coke and change it to: will only drink soda during the weekend (Friday afternoon – Sunday). That will make me less tubby, in time.

will be my constant companion when home, my refilled Evian bottle will be at work. (I never drink soda at work except on Friday but still.)
Another thing I've noticed

It’s harder and harder for me to finish a full bottle (the smaller ones). I actually start to feel a little sick if I drink too much soda.
I can finish off a can or a bottle if I’m thirsty enough, but nowadays I’ve noticed I’ve begun changing my drink of choice to iced tea.

Recently I’ve been drinking about 2-3 cans a day. I have to at least limit myself to one can a day and then work my way up from there.
