How can I better wean myself off of soda? I'm completely addicted to it and need at least one glass a day with dinner. What are some alternatives that'll actually satisfy me without decaying my health?
>Water >Tea No. I drink water all day and hate tea.
Uhh one glass of soda a day would only be detrimental to someone who is totally inactive and unathletic
I did an hour of strength training and 20 miles of biking in the sun, what did you do? I should drink a giant polar pop just to rub it in as I gain zero fat from it.
Just don't buy any. Dump any soda you have in the house. Temptations can't be met if the thing isn't there and its much easier to fight off the temptation while grocery shopping.

Try the flavored teas if you haven't, they have fruit flavored and chocolate flavored teas that I quite like
Joseph Allen
Fruit juice to still get the sugar hit, then start drinking it dilute to wean yourself off entirely.
Blake Sanchez
get a vape and a cola flavored e-juice
you get the flavor and none of the calories
if you think vaping is gay as shit you're correct but you're already posting on Jow Forums so it checks out
currently on some good whiskey juice. It even tastes like alcohol and i'm not ingesting anything lmao

Fruit juice is literally just soda with a little bit of added antioxidants and vitamins. It's quite a lot healthier than soda at least but the sugar content is the same so its just as addictive.
Nathan Perry
Get real fruit juice, not american "fruit juice drink" which is just the same corn syrup water with added fruit flavor You're eliminating the caffeine, which is a big component of the addiction You're eliminating the phosphoric and carbonic acids, so saving your teeth And finally most critically: fruit juice is still good any proportion watered down, so you can gradually taper off the sugar addiction. Soda is not.

what I did was drink less and less and then if you like it with dinner, only get diet then get only off brand diet soda that tastes like asshole then eventually you'll just drink milk or water instead
also, you could simply get some self control you goddamn nigger
Henry Sanchez
Real fruit juice still has tons of sugar that immediately enters your bloodstream unlike fruit, which has fiber to slow the process.

Diet soda.
I on occasion have a cup of diet soda.
Kicking fast food is harder tho
Joseph Campbell
Just stop drinking it. That's all there is to it.
Ryder Cook
Only drink one glace a day during dinner and rest of the day drink water. Then when you feel like you dont need soda anymore just drink water instead
Ayden Williams
This. Far easier to beat temptation at the store. Start asking for water at restaurants too

I have a kid on the way and I'm seriously considering switching to gaping. I've owned one of the cheapo ones but it kinda sucked and I lost it.

Holy shit imagine being such a huge manchild you can't just STOP buying the fucking drinks
Yeah LaCroix helped me stop drinking soda when I was a fat 16 year old who basically only drank soda, chocolate milk, and the regular milk in my 2 large bowls of cereal.

Have you tried growing a spine, you fucking basedaboya? One word: discipline
Have only unflavored drinks ie coffee, milk, etc in the house. BUT when you go out or bring some fast food. Allow yourself to have a juice or sweet tea but not soda. Stick with it until you ready to stop drinking juices.
He's right though and the other user is missing the point. There's plenty of uncaffeinated soda, caffeine isn't necessarily a major part of the addiction. Real fruit juice has tons of sugar and will still make you fat. It's also still acidic and hard on your teeth. There's plenty of 100% fruit juice in America but replacing soda with it won't help you at all. The real fix is to just force yourself to drink water instead. It's unsatisfying at first but after 1-2 cups of water you won't be thirsty enough for soda anymore. After about a month you'll stop craving soda
I know it sounds like shitty advice but literally stop buying it. I used to be like you and then I stopped giving myself the opportunity to have it. Its so much easier to have a moment of willpower when you're at the store than have an unbreakable will 24/7 at home. Eventually you'll wonder why you ever needed it so much.

>not having an ice cold beer instead
Jeremiah Powell
addiction. Cold turkey man. Decide to stop and avoid like the plague. it's the only way.
Jose Richardson
stop buying it and stop drinking it
it is that easy
it doesn't take willpower you just stop doing one of the 2 things you need to do
