I've decided to cut out soda, juice, and energy drinks. It's going to be tough for energy drinks are my life now. I used to drink a lot of water I think I should go back to that. Sweets won't be to tough to cut because I don't really eat them anyways because they hurt my jaw, not my teeth my jaw it's weird. Wish me luck people.

    I'm no expert but I'm sure the foods you eat should be able to give you sufficient energy to get through the day. Meaning you won't really need energy drinks if you're eating the right type of food. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong lol but good luck on your journey. I know, from experience, that cutting out soda will make a huge difference.

    Best wishes. After years of heavy sugar and most all processed carbs I cut them out. It was hard for 2 weeks doing it cold turkey then the cravings just started to fade and four months later have not returned but I do not tempt them. :)

    You are right to cut out sweet drinks. It's easy to add hundreds of calories and they go straight into the bloodstream. Plus most soda (we call it "pop" in Canada) has high fructose corn syrup, which is really not your friend. I love sweet stuff, and I used to consume lots of it, but I failed my last blood test, so now I'm pre-diabetic, and I'm trying to keep my sugar low. Most of the sugar I get now is from fruit which is absorbed somewhat more slowly than from juice. And I only eat two to three pieces of fruit a day.
