LezEngel 7yr Have you tried replacing soda with sparkling water? You could even try infusing sparkling water with some slices of citrus fruit for a bit of sweetness & flavor. -
annefood 7yr @mads - first of all, congrats on drinking less soda! That's huge! Give yourself a pat on the back. When you do drink soda is it because you're craving something sweet? Is it because you like drinking something fizzy? Or is it because you want the caffeine? If you're craving something sweet, make yourself grab a piece of fruit instead of a soda. It will be a nice treat and fill you up with fiber and nutrients. Or if it's something sweet in liquid form that you need, add a splash of 100% fruit juice to some sparkling water. Fruit juice is liquid sugar—ideally you eat a whole fruit instead of drinking its juice, but at least it's natural and can be a great way to transition away from soda if you dilute it with water and only consume a tiny bit. Or if you need the caffeine, try a cup of black or green tea. Just make sure not to drink it too late in the day otherwise it will interfere with your sleep. -
maddiedod 7yr @mads Through research and practice I found that eating more proteins, like nuts, has helped tame my cravings. -
annefood 7yr Awesome @maddiedod - great tip!

garv 7yr The less you think about soda , the easier it gets to keep em cravings away
Breakfast
i actually ate breakfast which i never do. orange juice and vegetarian sausage patties. obviously not the best, but its better than nothing!

garv Try muesli , plain yoghurt with fresh fruits , nuts & seeds or whole wheat toast with peanut butter( without sugar)
Oops
i messed up a little with the No Soda Challenge. but ive had a LOT less than i normally would in one day, so im still proud.
