is there a way to take your self away from caffeiene? well i noticed how i drink alot of soda and nothing but soda.

i'll try and get my self to drink water instead. i'll have like two or three bottles of water.. then boom i'm back on soda drinking all over again.

so yes i'm trying to train my body not to be so hooked on soda.

do you people have a better suggestion?


i don't need an explanation for how and why soda is bad for you. because i all ready know about this and have been knowing about this for a long time.

so what i want to do is try and get my self to cut back on it.

at least i find sunny delight to be ok to drink.

sunny delight makes me sick if i drink more than a glass of it.
it fucks with my stomach.

if youre having a hard time getting away from caffeine try caffeine free diet sodas.
no sugar, no caffeine.

and switch it up with water. say normally you drink 5 sodas a day....make 2 of those water. and drink the diet caffeine free sodas.

all right.

thank you.

what brand of soda do you normally drink??

i'd say go for all kinds of stuff.....tea, juice, etc.......one of my favorite drinks is that flavored Crystal Light Tea stuff.....itz purdy easy to make and quite tasty.....but yeah, just go for juices and stuff.......

Diet sodas are, more often than not, worse for you than regular sodas. One embalms you from the inside out, the other just overworks your pancreas. Possibly making you overweight.
If you're going to drink soda, drink a normal soda. If you want to get away from caffeine alone, get Sprite, Sierra Mist, or Squirt. They're caffeine free. Not sugar free, however.
Sodas, it seems, are about the worst contributor to some health problems people are facing these days with all the diabetes and obesity.

When I stopped drinking soda, I started buying a lot of tea and keeping it in my home. It does keep you sated so that you won't crave soda so much. It takes a lot of time and abstinence from soda to finally get you used to the lifestyle though. Keep in mind that tea does dehydrate you more than it hydrates you. Some studies show that, I guess.
Just be sure to drink some water every day.

why not try diluting juice, i'm not much of a soda person, but i'm not that keen on water either, unless it's bottled but that can be expensive..so i usualy get myself diluting juice, i usualy get vimto or the oceon spray diluting cranberry is nice. if you're worried about the sugar content theres also plenty of suger free diluting.

if its the fizz you miss just get some carbonated water (the fizzy stuff) an mix it with some diluting, then you'll have a healthy soda!

the sugar, i had no problem kicking...but the caffeine, one coffee a day, and occasionally a diet pepsi...but we haven't went shopping so much, so it's coffee, herbal tea and a wide assortment of sugar free drink powders, including tea.

i enjoy that stuff and it makes city water taste, better...while not using up our good bottled water for straight drinking, but there are definitly more decaffeinated drinks than caffeinated, as for teas, make sure they're herbal or say decaffinated, some teas have more caffeine than coffee...like mate, it's good, healthy, but the caffeine level can blow coffee and soda away.

All the different brands have different levels of caffiene in them.. So if your drinking one thats on a higher caffiene level, then you can switch to a bottom end(caffiene-wise) one to lower the intake and loosen it's hold on you..



Hence my above post..

wow i want to thank everyone so much for there piece of advice. all of you people seriously rock!
to Darktiggr i drink nothing but coke and only coke. that is my blood stream mainly. oh ya and with a lil bit of alcohol in it to!
coke and alcohol is nothing but in my system. i know i'm bad! *giggles*

but i want to get away from the soda. don't want my kidneys to be messed up someday. which is why i'm doing what i'm trying to train my body for.


thank you everyone

Make it a point to drink water then.

yes and that is what i'm going to do. actually i'm drinking water right now as a matter of fact.
i have that flavored spring water beverage kind of a drink... this water has the natural taste of strawberry's. its not bad though.

Damn. I was drinking coffee when I read that.

yuck coffee is gross.

you nasty drinking coffee person you!

It is, but it'll wake you up if you have trouble sleeping won't it?
If you say it causes the sleeping problems, I'll use some very profane language, fart.

i'm not going to let you test out my buttons. if that is what you are trying to do. i've alot of people like you in the past. but i'm starting to learn not to let people like you bring me down. because i don't need it. so try and picking on someone who isn't a girl. go for someone who is in more of your reach to pick on.also this is the advice forum. you are not allowed to do that in here. only in the off forum topic it is allowed.

easy shy.

my girlfriend used to drink a lot of soda, but when we started together it really slowed down and she's been drinking more tea, milk, and cranberry juice since those are my choice beverages and that's what i keep around.
check your influences.

don't worry i was calm in there.

i was just letting him know what was going on.


all right i'll do that. i'm not much of a tea drinker and i've tried it. but i don't really like the taste of it. so i'll stick to stuff like sunny delight and water... but that is good how your girl is keeping her self away from soda. because it is bad for ya.

anyway thanks and take it easy as well surreal
