I've given up soda several times. I would sometimes drink 2 2L a day. I don't want to drink it ever again. I don't know if 'addicted' is the right word, but I don't feel that I can only drink one every now and then and have that be it. My last soda was on January 15, so just over a month now. At first I substituted black raspberry tea with caffeine which helped with the headaches and crabbiness. Since stepping up my exercise I have a lot more energy and I don't feel that I need all of the caffeine to make it through the day.

Went on a fast where I could have nothing but water.. The day it was lifted I drank a coke. Haven't had a one since the super bowl. Sweet tea is my guilty pleasure but that's my only sugar for the day but I try not to drink too much of it. Felt that I lost a lot during that period of no soda.

I drink soda, just not the kind with a bunch of artificial flavors. Just carbonated water is what I like. Zero calories.

I've taken to having one carbonated water a day...I love the coconut La Croix ones, but sometimes will have just a regular (sodium free) seltzer water. Keeps me on the wagon...haven't had a coke since last summer.

I used to drink about a 12 pack of diet pepsi a day easy. I quit 6 weeks ago when I started this diet. I also stopped smoking, drinking (mostly) at the same time.

Now I'm 30 lbs lighter and I'm feeling really good.

One thing I've noticed is that I feel like I can concentrate better, and my mind is more focused. In the Protein Power Lifeplan by Dr.s' Eades, they write that aspartame is classified as an excitotoxin (sp?) and studies have shown that it can contribute to lack of focus and memory loss.

I just had to reply to this one, that is truly encredable! the fact you quit all those thing at the same times shows you must be tough, way to go sir way to go
