    Hi & welcome to MFP,
    I actually added water to my pop at first then slowly switched to water all together.
    Good luck

    I'm in the headache club! I have 1 20 ounce of pepsi a day. I normally drink a few drinks, put the cap back on and drink some water. I do this several times a day so my caffeine is spaced out, but my body is recognizing it. I also drink Zevia soda which doesn't have caffeine, but it makes me feel like I'm drinking soda but without the carbs, sugar, and all the bad stuff. You can usually find it in the organic section but it's a tad pricey.

    Haha yeah pop is the Midwestern word for a soft drink. When I was in England I got tons of strange looks when I asked for a pop. I guess I should stay out of Australia too then :)

    hi i work for a restaurant and we get free soda so i drink alot of it. ive been looking for a substitute and found something good. its called Kombucha. its a fermented tea. i know i thought it sounded weird at first too...but its naturally fizzy only a total of like 60 calories for 16 oz and only has 8 grams of sugar per 16 oz!!! its awesome. it also has probiotics which help your digestive system, and tastes great. I drink G.T.'s strawberry Kombucha.

    Your headaches come from a depleat of caffein. Switch to coffee maybe an answer. Nonetheless, look at how much your intake is. Cut it every 3 days by a little at a time. Eventually, you'll be free of it. What's better...all the carbonated water in pop bloats you, so that helps a TON
