    Don't buy it and don't drink it. It's that simple !

    this reply has too much common sense...isnt that a violation?

    Think of it as empty calories. Or "if I drink this, I need to run for x amount of minutes to burn it off."
    And don't buy it! Keep it out of your fridge!

    Stop.

    Drinking.

    Soda.


    There's no trick to it. Just quit.

    It's pretty simple. Don't buy it. And think of it this way, water is cheaper for the most part.

    Or, keep track of the caloric intake from sodas and fit it into your overall plan. I drink beer like it's going out of style but rarely go over my net calorie goals because I plan for it.

    Don't buy it. I love Dr. Pepper, it's my favorite soda. But I only buy milk, tea, coffee and water. Self control.

    I used to drink pop like CRAZY! I work at 6:45 in the morning and I never used to want to wake up so I thought pop would help me wake up.. It did. All until I saw an article about how much sugar is in it! Then I quit cold turkey and haven't had it in almost 7 months. I drink water like crazy now and I also drink Crystal Light as well... Stay away from the pop!! :) You can do this!

    Is there any sodium in it? I drink a ton of diet pepsi. I am trying to cut down.

    I was told at the gym that your body can't tell the difference from real sugar or aspartame and that is why I have this belly? Do you know if there is any truth to that?
