Obsession with Soda?

JeffreyOC

Is/Has anyone else ever had an obsession with Soda? Before I started dieting I drunk 2L of Pepsi A DAY. The thing I always remember is how quickly liquid calories add up. 9 months ago I switched to water. It's more refreshing, actually quenches thirst and is healthier.

I drink a lot of sparkling water with a squeeze of lime juice.

No I dont have an obsession with soda, I drink it sometimes - aprox a can about twice a week.

Before losing weight I did about the same - but regular version, now I do diet version, usually pepsi max.

So, no total switching for me - I drink unsweetened coffee and I drink water every day, and other drinks at times.

Hehe. I drink around a gallon of diet soda per day. I cycle between Diet Mtn Dew, Diet Pepsi, and Diet Dr. Pepper.

Yum yum yum. Helps keep the hunger/cravings down.

I drink a ton of caffeine - coffee, supplements (amino energy, etc.), Monster/Rockstar, diet soda. Probably more than I should.

I think I have for sure, I love diet coke, pepsi max and diet energy drinks...I especially love a monster drink before a hard cardio session. I've never been a huge fan of the regular sugary kind though.

I drink some diet soda by preference, a habit I developed from the years of braces. Usually I drink the Sparkling Ice drinks which have decided they're going to be sparkling fruit juice rather than soda, but they're pretty much the same as diet soda.

I'm totally addicted to Pepsi Max. We go through a ton of it

I've never been a huge pop fan, honestly. Even when I was a kid. The carbonation always made me feel bloated and gross.

I am a huge tea freak though. I drink about 5 cups of tea during my work day. I have about 10 different teas at my desk... totally addicted.

Soda has always made my teeth feel weird. So although I enjoy the taste of a root beer, for example, it's not something I ever would want to drink all the time. I also don't actually like carbonation. I like soda better after it's gone flat.

Random trivia fact, most people outside the US think root beer is disgusting. Apparently it's an acquired taste, lol. But it's my favorite soda.

I love soda I have mostly gone down to one can a day ... but some times it's a polar pop 32oz for $.89 that helps me through the day.

I was a huge soda drinker when I started...3-6 12oz cans per day. That was 4.5 years ago...I don't drink regular soda all that often, but in a recent effort to decrease my beer consumption on weeknights, I've taken to drinking a couple Stewart's diet root beers in the evening while I decompress on my patio.

Mmmmm Cherry Coke

I'm a Mountain Dew freak. I allow myself one on the weekend. Just one or I'd end up drinking it all day for 2 days straight!

I never liked the bubbly feeling in my nose after drinking it. I only get 1919 at bars if it's on tap because that stuff is heavenly. My family was pretty addicted to soda though, but I got everyone to switch to sparkling water.

I crave carbonation and drank a lot of soda in the past, although it was always diet (even at my fattest). I also drank a lot of beer - I loved the feeling of it going down my throat! Now, I can drink 2-3L of sparkling water a day. More, if it didn't add up $$ so quickly. I prefer Polar Seltzer, but they don't sell it where I live, so I can only get whatever flavors I can find on boxed.com which severely limits my choices .
