Trying to quit drinking pop

I used to drink a ton of diet coke everyday. I started cutting down by only drinking it on weekdays, then I cut it down to 1 can every weekday and then 1 can every other day and so on until I had given up needing/wanting it.

I also drink as much water as I can in the morning to stop me feeling thirsty.

I would start slow. If you are drinking caffeinated sodas then you could have caffeine withdrawals. Unsweetened ice tea can be a good substitute. And water is always good Try infusing it with fruit if you get bored of plain water. You don't have to completely cut it out if you can fit it into your calorie goal, but if you want to cut it out I think it is better to wean yourself off rather than just going cold turkey. For me anytime I tell myself I can never have something it backfires on me.

I know this sounds crazy, but I find it easier to drink water through a straw. I have a large thermos with a built-in straw, and I have to finish all water in it by the end of the day. Works well.

Cut down to 1 per day and log it, transition to diet soda.

I have to add that I drink coffee and tea, so I don't have any caffeine headaches.

Softdrinks (that's what we call them in Australia) used to be just about all I drank. That along with ciders ;-). When I started logging my drinks on here it scared me to see how many calories they are worth. Especially after a whole day of just drinking softdrinks. I realised that if I cut them out I wouldn't have to decrease my food by so much. For the alcohol I started by cutting out on day a week, so at first I didn't drink on Mondays and when that became normal I cut out Wednesday and so on. Only leaving the weekend and eventually I got sick of seeing my calorie count being sooo high on the weekends when it was great for the rest of the week that I just stopped putting them in the fridge and now I only drink if we have a celebration going on.
For softdrinks, at first I switched to soda water with cordial. So I was still getting the fizz and yes I know that cordial is still full of sugar but it's alot less then soft drink anyway I gradually stopped that aswell because I decided I'd rather treat myself to a peice of chocolate then a drink of cordial if I was going to have a treat. Now I've started the "drink 8 cups of water a day for 30 days challenge" on here and other then , when I was at a party, I have only drunk water (and my one coffee in the morning) for this month do far.

Sorry if I've rambled alot.
Good luck on your journey

I would quit it cold turkey. But if you're not consuming caffeine in other places you'll need to deal with the withdrawal and that'll be rough for the first few days. You can make it though!

Drink water and add in lemon, berries, lime, cucumber, etc. to flavor it. If you crave carbonation then have some sparkling water. (I say splurge on some good stuff and make that a once-a-day treat.)

I had to stop cold turkey. I thought I could have it in moderation and it turns out, I can't! I had one sip after not having any for months and it tasted awful to me. It's been at least two years for me. Water with ice and lemon helped a lot!

I quit cold turkey. I only drink water and protein drinks now.
