I drink coffee. About two mugs each day. I have never been a big soda fan.

I do like a cold Coke once in a while.

I think once you get in the swing of drinking water everywhere you go, your

body becomes retrained and begins craving water. Ummmm....cool, cool water....

Hi,

I was also a huge diet soda fan (still am - diet coke, diet 7up and

diet A & W root beer) but have managed to eliminate diet sodas from my

diet with the exception of my free days. It sounds dumb, but I

drink my water with a straw. I keep a box in my desk at work and a

box at home. A box of 100 is like $.99. I don't know why, but it

reallys helps me drink water constantly and helps me avoid the

soda. So, just an idea for you.

p.s. - welcome!

The latest research shows that sodas cause deteriation of bones. Their is

phosporic acid in most of the soda, and that is bad news for bones. The

only two exceptions that I know of is root beer and sprite (or was it 7-up).

The fact that you feel addicted to cokes is all the more reason to quit.

You aren't helping your insulin levels very much, and that affects food

craving.

I used to drink a lot of diet sodas too. But I have always been a

big water-drinker too. I found that cutting out the sodas was really

not difficult at all. It was more a habit than a craving. Plus (not

to be indelicate here) you'll have less gas and bloating from the

carbonation after you stop drinking sodas. And if you say you don't

have it now, try going off carbonated bevs for a couple weeks, and

then drink one again. Trust me, you will feel a difference. LOL
