How did you quit the soda /fit/?
My fucking craving are out the roof.
How long does this take?
>>36024527
soda is gross
>>36024527
self control
Post workout protein shakes and another scoop with milk before bed. Satisfies sweet tooth for me
Drink water only for about 5 days, force yourself to do it. Have one or two cans during the weekend. When it becomes a routine to just grab a bottle or glass of water over a can of coke it'll be super easy, it just takes a few days of forcing yourself. If you find it really hard, take about half or a third of what you usually take and gradually wind down to just water.

I decided I was done and quit cold turkey.
That's all there is to it.
>>36024532
This. No idea how I could ever drink soda. Just stopped at some point, never had any cravings. Now the thought of soda makes me wanna brush my teeth. Disgusting stuff.
>>36024527
drink coke zero instead
i drink diet mountain dew when i get soda cravings
Three weeks, drinking water and eating fruits with regular natural sugars helps.
>>36024527
I quit soda by obsessing on how many days I had gone without it; focusing on the small milestones like a week, a month, 50 days.
I also drank a shit load of juice, which is also not great for you, but I really wanted to keep up my streak. After a while I gave up drinking as much juice too.
Been 11 months now. Still occasionally get cravings.
I only drink Cola with meals , IIFYM

thats longer than cigs. fuck
Just keep going. If you really like soda that damn much then go ahead and have one cheat soda a week. If anything abstaining will make you realize how shitty soda is. Most people I've talked to that quit drinking soda doesn't even like it anymore.
>>36024608
It's also a worse addiction than cigs.
>>36024527
It's just getting into the routine of grabbing something else to drink.
I used to always make a sandwich then grab a soda, then I started switching the soda with apple juice. After a year of drinking soda, It took me not even a day to stop.
>>36024527
Sugar cravings are a bitch, I've been there. Diet soda may not be the answer for you but it definitely helped me when I needed a fix
>>36024614
NAH
>>36024527
Increasing my consumption of alcohol. Its been very effective.
>>36024637
you see im drinking coke zero but like 3 day. thats the bitch
>>36024655
My suggestion would be to cut back on the soda slowly, maybe do 2 a day for a while and then 1. It's by no means easy but you can do it.
orange juice
in4 sugar just as bad
you get me a complete chemical analysis of OJ and coca cola and we compare
>>36024527
replace with something else
fruit juice, something that doesn't have added sugar
eventually your craving for soda will go
>>36024527
drink diet sodas until you puke.
flavoured sparkling water, the sort without sweeteners whatsoever
it's not the sugar you like, it's the carbonation
delicious, delicious carbonation
>>36024527
Just realize that there's enough sugar in 1 can of cocacola to make you puke
was enough for me to never drink it again, altough I was never hooked and kinda have been disliking it all my life
is aspartame bad? is coke zero bad for you?
>>36024527
Just don't fucking buy it and it'll be extremely easy to quit. Just drink water and you'll feel so much better and realize how disgusting the shit is.
>>36024564
>aspartame
no fuckin thanks
>>36025089
Coke Zero is actually great for you. Reduces chance of baldness and even makes your dick bigger.
>tfw i have always gagged from the fizz when i tried soda
>tfw hate alcohol, coffee, tea, juices of all kinds
>tfw only drink water
>>36024527
diet cordial, lad.
>>36025120
I am pretty sure it was proven to not have any negative side effects.
>>36025089
it can't be good for you, plus the carbonation destroys your teeth, so just drop it anyway
>>36024553
underrated advice boi
>>36025135
rly tho
>>36025177
You can't prove that. You can prove that it's unlikely that it has specific side effects, but you can't prove it with 100% certainty for ALL possible side effects.
>>36025177
But why would you drink it anyway? Wasn't diet coke and all those zero calorie shits linked to cancer? Even if it was a bullshit study, why would you risk it when you have clean, pure water?
>>36024527
Get carbonated mineral water, you pleb.
It's superior to soda in every way and still gives that bubbly feeling that I like.
>>36024527cut back to diet soda if you absoutley have to have it, but i recommend quitting cold turkey and drinking sparkling water. not sweet but it gives you the satisfaction of a carbonated drink, especially with a meal
>>36025135
>>36024527
Just keep telling yourself it's absolute shit, way too much fucking sugar, and drink water instead. Honestly I quit cold-turkey, was nothing.
>>36025492
okay thanks /fit/
>>36024527
When you have a craving, force yourself to have a big glass of water then wait 5-10 minutes.
Also switch out with juice if you're really jonesing for sugar, then eventually swap down to water. After a while you'll find the sweetness of softdrink to be disguisting.
Switch to fruit juice, then switch to unsweetened tea.
Sparkling water. No calories, no acid, no other crap. Just water and bubbles. I found I really only craved the kick from the carbonation. I think I've been off soda for almost 3 years now
In about a month soda becomes to sugary to even sip. It will also be hard to finish a glass of juice.
Eat more fruit for your sweet kick
Drink water whenever you crave something
Keep a bottle of water around you
Water life, son
>>36024527
great replies but most require cold turkey...
If you absolutely MUST, go 1 month where you only drink ginger ale. Even after trying that, dark pop will seem absolutely horrible.
>I did this years ago, it worked like a charm.
>in fact, at one point i ONLY drank clear pop.
>Sprite
>7UP
It was basically a diet from DARK pop, chocolate and fast food. It was about 14 years ago.
>Now, if I even go NEAR a soda, it's ginger ale all the way.
>inb4 I still don't eat fast food
>inb4 I still don't eat chocolate
>>36024642
YOU CUT OUT THE FRESCA HE IS ALSO DRINKING IN THIS PICTURE YOU FUCK
>>36025274
I put a dash of lime juice in mine... yummeh
Coffee and water, my friend! Soda for me was such a strong habit so I made a list of what I don't like about drinking soda:
>gritty feeling in teeth
>corn syrup in spit
>bloating
>knowing it causes diabetes among other problems
>expensive
And then I tried coffee and water exclusively for a few weeks and made a list of my personal benefits:
>feel better
>feel cleaner
>more energy
>saving money and my health
>>36024527
Stop buying it.
If you are really craving it, get a small bottle or can. Don't do this often and you'll be totally fine.
I was addicted to this shit for years (32 oz. Sodas from the gas station probably daily) and now I have less than 300 calories worth of soda a month.
>>36024756
The sugar amounts are literally written on the container you fucking idiot.
