Help! Trying to limit diet drinks and drink more water

I like:

Propel
Arizona Green Tea Pomegranate flavor (in the tubs that makes 1/2 gallon)

I used to be a HUGE soda drinker and Propel is what really got me off. It is not carbonated, however, my sister likes carbonated flavored waters. You just have to test several things to se what satisfies.

Try doing a slower step down to avoid the caffeine headaches. Maybe drop to 2/day then 1/day. I have been doing well with plain ice water. I sometimes drink tea, and rarely treat myself to the diet drinks anymore. I do like the flavored waters, too. Sometimes I chew gum to get my mind off of wanting caffeine.

I love diet pop too and am trying to cut down - one thing that helps me is Sobe Lifewater - it has 0 calories (it does have a few carbs) and no artificial sweeteners. It's very yummy!

i am also a diet addict...my drink of choice is diet pepsi...i haven't been able to completely eliminate my daily diet pepsi, but i have been able to limit it to just one work yourself down slowly from 3 to 2 to 1....i've found that adding flavor to my water helps make it more appealing...i'm a big fan of crystal light in my water...i put 1 packet into my 32oz water bottle and the flavor is still awesome! my favorite is the skin essentials pomegranate lemonade...yummy! cuting up lemon and putting it in a water bottle is really good too...good luck!!!

If you are into your fizzy drinks (i used to drink 4 cans a day) try drinking fizzy mineral water and adding some either natural fruit juice or no added sugar sqaush.

I'm now only drinking 1 can a day but still feel like i'm getting my full quota of fizz

Hpoe this helps

For me it's the fizz that I really crave, so I like the carbonated flavor waters at Walmart, or crystal light is always a good change. Also have tried the great value instant teas kinda like crystal light. Or add fresh lemon wedges to your water. I have found that I am actually looking for water rather then sodas or tea. It just takes time to adjust to the change, but you CAN DO IT!! I know you can.

It's probably the caffeine withdrawal that's giving you a headache; as others have suggested, just wean yourself off of it slowly. If you do want to get rid of the artificial sweeteners, try replacing soda with unsweetened caffeinated coffee or tea (iced or hot), which still contains caffeine and so should help reduce your headaches.

If you find plain water boring, try adding lemon juice, lime juice, or other juices. Use just a little so you don't end up with too much sugar, but do have flavor.

In the summer, unsweetened iced tea or iced coffee is one of my all-time favorite drinks. There are lots of different flavors of tea out there, and any of them can be used for iced tea. (Don't be fooled into spending more money for "special" bags for iced tea. They're completely unnecessary.) There are two ways to do it: brew the tea the "regular" way and then chill it, or just throw the teabag(s) into a jar of water and stick in the fridge overnight.

I started buying the Propel packs to put in my water - I keep a water bottle in my gym bag, one at home, and one at my office and at least 3 packs of various flavors of Propel in each place so that I can always refil it. As a result, the only time I drink soda now is if I'm out at a restaurant (usually sprite) or out at a bar (vodka/sprite). I also managed to get my boyfriend hooked on Propel, so now we don't even keep soda in the house! If you're looking for a carbonated option, I really like store brand white grape carbonated water. Good luck!
