I'm trying to give up soda, need help!
 

I don't drink an excessive amount, just a couple cans a day, but I've been feeling like crap lately so would like to see if cutting out soda helps. The last 2 days I've cut down to just one can daily.

Buuut, I need some replacements! What are some other good things to drink? I can't have milk or dairy based products, but pretty much anything else goes. I like things that are full of flavor.

Any good juices out that I should know about?

Arizona green tea is good, and of course water works also..

gatorade

drink seltzer, gives you a soda feeling without all the sugar

Iced Tea works well. If you're trying to lose the caffine too, then lemonade is a great thirst quencher as well.

I don't think I could give up my Diet Vanilla Coke. But I like Country Time Lemonade and iced tea sometimes. Oh, and if there is a Kroger grocery store near you, they sell gallon jugs of tea, it tastes good and it's caffine free. :)

It was hard as hell for me to quit man. But when I did it helped a lot on so many levels. I need to cut out the diet pop now haha.

sweetened raspberry iced tea, gatorade,Arizona ginseng tea, california coolers,lemonade...just to name a few

Crystal gyser fruit squeez'es. They are fizzy real fruit drinks no added sugars.
Mineral water is also great, I like arrowhead brand.
Iced T, just make your own.

With fall starting today:
Cider, non instant co-co, hot tea all are great.

Sletzer is what I do.

Pelegrino, poland spring etc

Spankstrocko

I'm trying too. I'm trying to get down to under 2L a day! Ugh! I'm on Caffine Free Diet Coke right now but what's helping is Crystal Lite drink mix. It's not carbonated (good thing) and has no sugar (even better).

I also like those flavored waters at the grocery store. Safeway calls them "Safeway Select".

When I first left home and was broke I used to buy these huge tubs of powdered lemonade for around $10. Those things would last near 2 months. Maybe I'll do that again.

tea is probably gonna be your best replacement

Ice Tea, low or no sugar.....add an orange slice...works for me

Makingcoin and I are trying to cut out soda from our diet too, but that stuff is so addicting. It has been three weeks now. I have slipped once. You should just start adding more water to your diet and Orange juice. If you go into caffiene withdrawl, try some tea. Soda adds a lot of extra unwanted calories.

You can get country time and gatoraid in those tubs still btw. If you crave the fizz, just pick up some 2l bottles of carbonated water to mix it with.

ironic. Diet pop is worse for you than normal pop

soda has caffeine just like coffee does. If I don't have my coffee in the morning I feel like crap and can get a headache from it.

Your body gets use to it and will crave it until you taper it off. If soda is making you feel like shit you need something with pretty much the same ingredients so your body isn't freakin out.

I swear one of these days I'm going to hire a dietitian to make sure I eat right.

Naked Fruit Juice, it's a pound of fruit in a bottle; damn good!

Raspberry tea is good....but my personal fave and the only think I'll pick over a soda for flavor is Propel, the flavored water from Gatorade. It is soooooooo good.

i'll go for iced tea! try it.,maybe it can help! :)
