@Hannah420: Well, one or two is OK. None is better, of course! Good luck – drink lots of seltzer, it's working for me three years into quitting soda!

Thanks so much for the advice! I am desperate to quit drinking it. I usually drink one can of pepsi per day, sometimes two, and I think that even one is too much!! I am definitely going to use your suggestions and hopefully be soda free within the month! Thanks so much!

I gave up soda for about 6 months and have recently had a terrible relapse. I'm still not buying it at the store, but have taken to getting it daily at work.

And I like diet

I stopped drinking soda just over a year ago. I've probably had 1/4 can twice since then. both times I took a few sips and threw it away since I couldn't stand the taste!

great tips. I also like drinking room temperature water with ice cubes in it.

Thank goodness for your acknowledgment of the dangers of aspartame. My dad always bugs me about having a Dr. Pepper once a week, while he's chugging down 3-4 diet Cokes every day. ::rolls eyes:: It's silly, and though I've sent him at least 20 articles on the dangers of fake sweetener, he's in denial over the fact that it's bad for the human body.

Do it gradually, reduce your coca-cola intake daily, and replace with Perrier or seltzer. Eventually the taste of coke will be so strange to you. I haven't had coke in a long time (don't remember how long) and tried it the other day. It tasted so wierd, so artificial and too sweet (I had diet Coke).

Sandra and Linda, I would highly recommend trying seltzer mixed with a little fruit juice. If you get a good natural/organic fruit juice and mix it 1 part to 3 parts seltzer approximately, you'll get a very light and satisfying drink. Cola is acid. A natural fruit juice is far, far better. Just give it a shot – I think you'll be surprised.

I hear you sandra….I want to quit, but can't think of a day without the fizzy, bubbly refreshing drink……

This all makes sense to me….I really want to quit drinking diet coke….this has inspired me, but not sure this will happen. I love the feeling of colas fizzing down my throat. Although lately I have been enjoying Perrier or other carbonated waters….might be worth a try.
