Soda is my ultimate favorite!! I love how it fills me up and the caffiene wakes me up.

if I stop drinking it for a week its an instant 3 pound loss!!!

I only drink about 1/2 soda a day but i crave it so much when I don't drink it.

Any suggestions???

Coffe makes me shake so I can't go there.

    How about diet soda? Carbonated water/beverages?

    Sparkling water is my new obsession. All of the bubble and fizz but none of the sugar or calories.

    It takes 21 days to make or break any habit. Just push through it. Self control! :)

    Half a soda is around 90 calories. You could learn to fit it in or increase your exercise a little to offset it.

    Diet soda is another option.

    I make herbal tea, or water and lemon, or homemade ice tea

    I'm a fan of Diet coke's when im having a craving or when we are out with friends or at dinner or whatever. I used to drink multiple regular pepsi's everyday. One step at a time.

    I'm not sure how cutting out 1/2 of a soda makes you lose 3 pounds. I also don't see why that's such a bad thing, especially in such a small amount every day. As long as you are fitting those calories into your goal every day why stop drinking it?

    Half a 12oz can is about 525 calories.
    Maybe she means 1/2 a 2 liter soda.

    You should try Kombucha...its carbonated, comes in a variety of flavors, all natural, and has very little sugar. It is also fermented with a ton of very beneficial active probiotic cultures.

    For me, soda cravings are about three things. 1) Caffeine, 2) Sugar, and 3) Ritual. It took me a long time to realize how much #2 factored in. What I've been having success with is a good black tea + some kind of low sugar fruit like strawberries. Making tea helps with 1 and 3, and the fruit takes care of 2. If I could stay happy at 1/2 a coke a day, I would take that as well.

    If you really want a soda that bad have it and fit it into your daily cals, or have a diet coke or a pepsi max. Hell throw a shot of bacardi in it that'll only set you back 70 cal give or take. One day at a time drink it and move on.
