I have given up caffeine form sodas. If I eat something with it in there its not a big deal. I have been off caffeine from soda for a while now. Now if I drink a glass of tea to close to bed i cant fall alseep.

Now I have given up soda all together. I have been drinking water for 3 days now. I am hoping that the amount of sugar i am not drinking will help shed a few pounds.

I work at a gas station so I have access to all the free soda i want when i am at work.


Wish me luck!

I used to be exactly the same as you and I`ll tell you dude, giving up soda was one of the best things I did!!! Don`t give up the challenge, if your addicted/need caffeine for your daily life just drink coffee or take caffeine pills or w.e... I gave up soda because my stomach and teeth were fucked up from it. I remember drinking whiskey with my friends one night and playing drinking games, had to go lie down in bed for an hour from a pain in my stomach.

I once met my moms pilates instructor. Real healthy guy, game me some great posture advice. My mom mentioned that I drank a lt of coke at least a day and that look he gave me, that look of suprise and said I really don`t understand how you drink that stuff. I now know exactly what he ment now :D

I used to easily drink 1-2 lt`s a day everyday. Its very overpriced as a product, it makes me sick. I now buy a 500ml bottle maybe every 3 months and can`t even finish it. Ewk, disgusting... Got half a 500ml from last time sitting on the top of my cupboard :)

I also told my mom I`d rather she hit me than let me buy coke, but the damage is done and the money is spent....

Please do quit it dude! :)

Giving up junk food/soda is one of the smartest things anyone can do. You don't have to give it all up completely, just cut down 95% to what you were doing before. Guess what? I lost 60lbs since January 1st since I cut out fast food/junk food/soda. I drink tons of water, eat 3 meals a day (lots of fruit/veggies) and I do cardio 4-6 times a week for a least 30 minutes. You stick to that and you will shed some weight big time. You can lose 40lbs in 3 months easily. It's not hard at all. The hardest part is getting going and sticking to it. Mind over matter. Don't let your cravings destroy your life. Be stronger than that.

True Trian79, coke has loads of sugar in it! I hate coke and quit drinking it for entirely other reasons, I was always thin. You just stated another to quit that damn stuff!

Go on mora, you can do it!

Soda or carbonation causes Kidney stones. If you have ever passed one I assure you NOTHING is worth the pain.

four liters of soda a day?? jesus h christ my man, that is a lot of soda, my god, lol... the only time i really drink a soda is when i get a meal from a fast food place, maybe once or so every two weeks or so, and that is pretty much it...
i do drink a ton of two percent milk and iced or hot tea.. caffeine withdrawal is a son bitch... i was one time in a rehab and if you did something bad they would put you on a coffee tea soda ban, and i never drank soda there as you would have to get it out of the vending machines and i never had money for that, so the only things i drank were what they would serve us, mostly like iced tea, but man the headache from the withdrawals from caffeine are fierce..
keep up on it though, you'll surely start to feel tons better once you get all of that poison out of your body m8..

I started this thread back in June 2011, well my giving up of soda didn't last very long. But in April of 2012 I went for it again. I started buying bottles of water to drink and Gave up soda.

Now I did have a few times where I would cheat on some days. But I started to notice the days that I did cheat I would be horrible shitting episodes I guess from all the sugar on those days.

So Since then I have had people tell me that I look like I have lost a lot of weight. I even feel better I have been doing squats at work and leaning push ups on the counters. I have even noticed that my penis works better! I used to be a "one and done" kinda guy for the whole day. But since I have started working out and quit drinking soda I have noticed it works better. I have added two holes to my belt growing smaller.

The worst thing about soda is the high fructose corn syrup. I quit drinking soda about 6 months ago and I don't even want to go near the stuff now.

Glad to hear you're seeing good results. Even more incentive to stay away huh?

I'll say this I've pretty given up soda for the last 6 months or so and started workin out again like I used to and I've dropped around 60lbs and got back alot of the muscles I used to have one of the best thing I've ever done and I've actually been drinking alkaline water that is supposed to be alot better for you from dem kangen machines. But can't do no caffeine, I luv makin my iced cappuccino I have a very particular ritual when I make my coffee in the mornings.

Your stupid makes my head hurt. What will your body still think it's getting? Soda? Why does your body need to think it's getting soda? I didn't know it is part of a balanced or healthy diet... Or are you talking about caffeine? In which case you are wrong, that's not how placebos work dumb ass.
