I drink a lot of diet coke.. a lot. Thinking of cutting it from my diet. Once I started recognizing how I felt each day, I realized I'm making myself feel bad by consuming so much. Headaches, irritable, not motivated at the gym, etc. I logged how I felt each day vs how much I drank. Clearly a correlation. I also realized that my trouble sleeping is probably due to this. I've been drinking coke all my life and I was convinced it had no effect on me.

I'm quitting it pretty much cold turkey, I may have a can now and then but that's it.

Anyone else quit soda, what were your reasons?
 
My wife quit Dr. Pepper 3 months ago and went to Dr. Pepper 10, she's lost 7lbs and is eating more. She really didn't need to lose any, but she's happy with it. She was drinking 8-10 per day!
I don't drink any soda ever. Doesn't even appeal to me.

A lot of caffeine in some diet sodas. I drink some diet sodas fairly often but most often I drink crystal light.
 
I have been cutting the amount i drink for sometime, now i have one with my cheat meal and thats about it.

I miss the Dr P, but other things are much more important
 
I feel 100 times better today. Excluding a slight headache, which I'm certain is due to no caffeine.

I stopped drinking all soda earlier this year and dropped about 2% BF. When I'm disciplined with my diet it's only water & protein shakes for drinks. I do have to say that my favorite thing in the world to drink is a can of Coke. That is one my cheat list, gotta get my fix every once in a while. Wait, maybe my fav is Corona... hmmmm
 
I don't drink soda that much but when I have pizza I have to have a dr p or something.
 
Some days I dont drink any and other days I drink a gallon of diet pop (we call it pop here folks, I dont know wtf a soda is). I never could stand reg pop, tastes like hummingbird food to me with all the sugar.
 
Take this for what its worth, the Yoda of training Charles Glass once stated he would rather have his clients smoke than drink any kind of sodas
 
The basic Ingredients in Colas are the same:
Carbonated water, Sugar (sucrose or high-fructose corn syrup depending on country of origin), Caffeine, Phosphoric acid, Caramel color, and assorted flavorings. I believe that everything we eat or drink should have some nutritionional benefit.

A can of Coke (12 fl ounces/355 ml) has 39 grams of carbohydrates (all from sugar, approximately 10 teaspoons), 50 mg of sodium, and 140 calories. Nothing except sugar, caffeine and chemicals in there.

The acidity in Coke is so strong, it is used as a natural remedy for dissolving kidney stones. And last, but not least, all carbonated beverages are hard on the system, so I NEVER drink pop. ;)
 
the cokes down here r with aspartame ...usually middle east

coke 0 is that bad 2 have now and then ...its 0 calories pretty much but toxic since the suger it has is 0 calories just tricks ur brain thinking hey its suger
 
I feel way, way better with my coke decreased to almost nothing. It's easier to focus on things, and I sleep like a baby. I should have done this years ago.
 
Glad your feeling better Khem , Personally I enjoy drinking a can of coke "pop" once a week . the coke in a bottle tastes terrible ,but the 12ou can hits the spot . Usuall about wed mid week I will have a can of coke bout 1:30 or so in the afternoon .Its a good pick me up .
 
I love coke zero, I've stopped every now and then when I get so into it that it takes away from my water intake.
