Well I'll tell you what i did... \nI went cold turkey... just stop... don't cut back, just stop... and r.w Knudsen has excellent spritzers... basically just sparkling fruit juice... of course if it's the caffeine you're worried about just switch to caffeine free soda...

Tell them that it's not helping their body get liquid. Soda actually dehydrates the drinker, which is what made me stop drinking so frequently. \n\nA can of Coke can dissolve a nail in a week. o_o Can you imagine what it does to the body? \n\nAnd there are a lot of other options in beverages, even though it may not seem like it. Water, for one. It's the most abundant source on our planet, yet we seem to neglect it's most simple use. Drinking it. \n\nSports drinks hydrate the body. Fruit juice. (Not the ones with all the sugar and artificial stuff added.)Nearly ANYTHING is better than soda.

rum & diet cola are definatly the best , it has no sugar & no carbs, beer & wine are full of sugar & carbs, most beverages don't have fat anyway, so carbs & sugar are your enemy when it comes to drinking, try to stick w/ a clear rum & diet soda of any kind, if you must have beer & are a beer drinker, try michelobe ultra, although it does have a slightly flat taste.  It only has 2.6 carbs, verses regular beer that can have an average of 10 carbs.

Not diet, not diet, not diet, that diet crap is yucky even though they continue to say that it isn't.  Diet coke/pepsi doesn't even work anyway, but really its nasty nasty stuff.  As for Coke vs Pepsi, Coke all the way!

Crystal lite is good - nice flavors available. Also, iced tea but use artificial sweetener instead of sugar. Any tea that doesn't have sugar in it, Lipton makes a 'diet' mix that's ok, but not like real tea. Coffee, of course, but no sugar, artificial sweetener only.\n\nI like a 'milk cocktail' myself: Large glass of COLD milk, about a tablespoon of vanilla and 2 or 3 packets of artificial sweetener (I use nutrasweet, but any that don't contain sugar are good).\n\nThe hard part is going to be getting used to artificial sweeteners! When I first had to cut out sugar, I thought I was going to die without my Dr. Pepper! I now drink diet coke mostly because I never liked original coke, so it doesn't bother me that it 'doesn't taste right'. If you're in an area where Kroger has a store, their store brand diet drinks are excellent, and about 1/3 the price of name brand. The colas are more like pepsi than coke, however. Their cherry diet cola tastes, to me, like real Dr. Pepper, so it's been a treat!

What kind of bottled water tastes best?\n\nCan you tell the difference between Pepsi, Coke, caffeine-free Coke, Diet Coke, caffeine-free Diet Coke, caffeine-free Diet Pepsi, and Diet Pepsi? (maybe not all of these!)\n\nOr maybe can you tell the difference between name brand cookies and store brand?

As you may know sodas not that good for you. So you shouldnt drink any kind of soda to much. But otherwize there is a drink called jolt. Jolt has twice the caffine and twice the sugar. I would stay away from that one.

Krista is full of crap:\n"Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. "\nBS. Natural juices have sugar also. And there's no proven link between juice and diabetes.\n"Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer."\nMore BS. No proof that drinking water is helpful. All this is good for is making you pee a lot.\n"Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart."\nWHAT?? This is total crap. There is NO evidence to support this BS. (where does she get this?) Your body does NOT need extra water to "pick out" nutrients. What an absurd concept.\n"You also need to stay away from any sports drinks unless you’ve just had a long workout and then you need to limit yourself. Most atheletes mix Gatorade with water because its two complex for your body to get all the nutrients out of. It needs to be diluted. "\nMore crap and BS. The science behind Gatorade has been going on for 30 years and there's NO evidence of any "need" to dilute it. It works just fine as-is. Again, your body does NOT need extra water to "pick out" nutrients. \n\nDon't take diet advice from uneducated 19 year olds. It's full of myth and folklore, sadly lacking in truth and science.

I prefer Centrum (more stuff), but any vitamin you love and will take daily is the best one!\n\nI recommend Centrum for our Kimkins members while they're in fast weight loss mode.

When a client tells me they were doing fine on a low carb diet and suddenly stopped losing weight, the first thing I ask them is 'how much aspertame do use eat?'. Diet sodas, Crystal light, sugar free jello, can all effect weight lose if you use too much.\n\nMy favorite sweetener is Stevia. I make great tasting sweet drinks with it. I like lemon conc., stevia, ice and water mixed to taste or apple cider vinegar instead of lemon for a no carb apple drink. I use unpasteurized apple cider vinegar and Stevia Glycerite (a liquid). Again, the amount of any ingredient used will be by your preference but tablespoon levels of lemon or ACV is a place to start. Stevia is available online or health stores. Cheap for the amount you use per serving which may be a few drops. All natural made from the herb Stevia.

I saw on the news that Diet Soda is bad for you...worse for you than regular soda because of the ingredient that makes it "diet" or whatever...according to mythbusters, soda can dissolve meat over a few days...if it's ALL you drink, it's very unhealthy...drink a few glasses of water a day to keep you hydrated.

If Crystal Light helps you drink more water, then more power to you. It definitely does NOT detract from your water intake. Caffeine free teas are also a good alternative. \n\nYour husband has a valid concern about the artificial sweeteners, but it is still the lesser evil from colas. To appease him, you might try sugar-free Kool Aid and add Splenda or better yet Stevia to it. Splenda is the best of the artificial sweeteners. Stevia is a natural plant product that is very sweet, practically no calories, and works well, but is harder to find. You have to go to a health food store.

no, not at all.  but with all tastey things, keep the consumption low, no more than two per day (16oz), because drinking soft drinks in excessive amounts has been shown to decrease the absorption of calcium into bones, which could eventually lead to osteoporosis.  also, an excessive intake of sugar is never good for anyone.  i stick to the one soda a day rule, but its ok to cheat and have two.
