    IF you have to have soda...swtich to Diet Soda. I was consuming an extra 700 calories a day in regular Mt Dew.

    I tried going cold turkey. I would make it two weeks before falling off the wagon and then dragged behind it.

    So, I switched to Diet Mt Dew, and I have one 12oz can a day. If I do everything else that makes me successful at losing weight, I lose. I don't have a lot of vices anymore so If Diet Mt Dew is bad for me....too bad. I'm keeping my one guilty pleasure.

    (....and lifting weights helps keep your bones dense)
  • Alright, so soda's bad mmmkay.

    Get on Dr. Ozs 30 day program off his website if you think you're really addicted and need the help.

    Sprite is not better for you than coke. Check the nutritional information.
    Diet coke, while it has no calories, is just as bad as regular coke but for different reasons.

    We all love the fizzies and sugary syrup. We all love crunchy doritos and savory chocolate too. But you have to make a choice. How much of your health are you willing to give up for that yummy flavor in your mouth? There's no short cut solution or easy way out. You should stop drinking soda. Do it slowly. Have an 8oz one as a treat now and again. But know that soda only harms your body. Your health and your body are some of your most important assets! Are you going to let a pesky soda get in the way of living your best life?

    I quit sodas cold turkey about a month ago. I was drinking mostly diet coke and regular coke. I had migraines for about 3 days but treated it with ibprofen, but they went away. I feel SO much less bloated now, and I think quitting had a lot to do with losing my first 10 lbs. I am also sleeping much better now than I ever did on sodas. My suggestion is to make it a goal to quit any way you want to do it. Just tough it out and get off the sodas.
