I tend to not buy pop anymore and I take my tea milk-less and sugar/sweetener-less so I'll be fine for today
Sounds wonderful... I have a slight obsession with tea, and I don't use sweetener in it What is your favorite kind of tea? 0 -
Darn...didn't read this until after my morning coffee...too late for the Day 1 challenge
Maybe I'll try it tomorrow...but I LOVES my Splenda mocha...
You can always start now! I absolutely hope you join us tomorrow for day 2 0 -
I did read this late but I think, going over everything I ate today, I accomplished this. I wanted a pop but didnt get one!
Fantastic willpower! It's great that your daily foods don't include chemical sweeteners 0 -
I gave up diet drinks when i started MFP 2 weeks ago. i started to drink only water with lemon!! No more bloat, and I have more energy!0

I have had the soda habit kicked, but every once in a while I will have one. I am not sure what else I eat/drink that has artificial sweetener in it, but I will keep my eyes open for it.0

I'd definitely make it for the rest of the day, I only have fake sugar with my coffee in the morning. I already cut out soda and I don't sugar my tea 0 -
Well I had my morning coffee before I read the post but 2 packets of Truvia is all I use of artificial sweeteners every day. So at least thats all I did today. Gave up diet coke 2 months ago so no worries there! Water, coffee, and tea are my drinks of choice.
Also anyone looking for a tea thats sweet but doesn't have any sweetners in it, try aveda comforting tea! It has licorice and sweet fennel to give it its sweet taste and its amazing! I try to drink it every night!0 -
Good luck, but I know you can do itNo soft drink for me at all tommorow which is a big deal for me! I used be drink 6-7 cans and now down to 1 a day, tommorow I'm going to make a big effort and have water all day! 0 -
I've been doing this for quite awhile after reading "1984"... I used to be a huge diet coke drinker. Now, I can't stand the taste of artifical sweeteners. I know that I can't eat as many sweet things to keep under my calorie goals. But if I do have something that is sweet, I want the real thing!0

Darn, didnt read this til AFTER I opened a can of diet coke (N).
Will still watch everything else I eat today, though, and try to stay away from the artificial sweeteners.0 -

What a fantastic change you're making- your body will thank you! If you extend that by a few days, you will probably even start to feel the difference it's making. When I cut out diet soda, after a couple weeks I had more energy and was sleeping better. The headaches I was having even went away! I hope you have similar results
Hasn't been at 6-7 cans for a long time though, you've cut it down to like 0-2 a day haven't you, only more on the odd occasion?
Have you considered doing soft drink only on weekends? Just a thought.0 -
I joined late, but beat the challenge anyway...yaaay
sips non artificially sweetened beverage :drinker:0 -
Wow, I joined the group late and still made the challenge. Lucky me!0
-
Only had water today, but I don't drink coffee anyway. I tried to keep added sugar in food low, but I baked a cake last night, and finally had a piece today, lol.0
-
I'm so proud of all of you! This challenge went really well I hope you're inspired to look at labels more closely! Knowledge is power. 0
-
Will definitely do good on this one, water water water all tomorrow 0
-
I've only just read this, must be due to the time difference. It's 8.35am (Wednesday) here in the uk so I'm starting this now!0
-
Only drink water or herbal tea..........no artificial sweeteners for me!
Sue x 0 -
Didn't read this til the day was done but I managed to make it an artificial sweetener-free day.
I would like to say, though, stevia should not be considered an artificial sweetener. It's a natural, herbal product. Just like cane sugar. At least many types like stevia "in the raw" are.
Great challenge!0 -
But... I don't use artificial sweeteners... ._. Does this mean I'm cheating?0
-
I did it no diet coke all day !0
-
Checked my yoghurt - real sugar yay0
-
Skipped the yogurt. I think I did just fine today. Great Challenge!0
-
Fantastic job everyone, I'm very proud of you! I've posted day two... get pumped!0
-
Ok, so I am just now starting on the challenges as I have been invited by a friend.
Day one is okay for me. I have had nothing but water so far. I went to get a diet coke earlier but there were none in the machine so I took it as God saying I didn't need it.
So, no coke tonight for dinner. I don't think I eat anything else with the "fake" sugar, but I am checking.0 -
hi everyone this is my first day in this group and I guess I either have to give something up or add something to my daily routine like maybe do more sets of an exercise or something, i'm just asking. well I have decided to do 2 30 min workouts today. wish me luck0
