Drink water

I got the soda stream. Keep water in the fridge so its cold. Then carbonate them and pour in a cup with citrus slices for flavor. Or just get Lacroix in cans. Its as addictive as coke honestly, but its not actually unhealthy.

From 18 to 38 I drank 3 or 4 cokes a day.
What was the result? I had to have 2 teeth pulled and cavities in 5 other teeth. I also became pre-diabetic even though I was a healthy weight.

I also smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for a decade, and I can honestly say that drinking that much soda was worse for my health than smoking.

Bad habits that you can get away with in your 20s will catch up to you in your mid 30s.

Did you not brush your teeth or are your genetics shit? I don't drink soda but 3-4 cans doesn't really seem like that much to me.

Sugar is an addiction, the only way to stop it is cut it off from the source. Your first step to addiction, and a lifestyle change, is finding something that replaces it, which you enjoy. Consider getting n a brita pitcher and leave it in the fridge so you know you have cold and clean water. Also buy a steel water bottle like a takeya, something that makes it easy to refill and stay hydrated, so there's no excuse. It seems trivial but when I was addicted to soda I would justify having to pour a glass of water with ice as an excuse to go the store and buy a couple 2 liters of dr pepper. Even though we know it's more effort to drive to the store than poor a glass of icewater or fill up a water bottle with ice and water, your addiction warps your perception to the point of absurdity. Once you are at least a month gone without sugary drinks, try fasting to cut sugar out for good. Buy bananas/oranges if you get a sugar craving, it will be much better for you than scoffing or chugging high fructose corn syrup poison.

Soda does a double whammy on your teeth. Not only does it coat your teeth with sugar water, it is also very acidic which weakens your enamel.

I brushed and flossed everyday, but thats only once a day. The rest of the day my teeth were covered in acidic sugar water.

3-4 cans is 1-1.33 litres, that is an assload daily. 150+ grams of sugar on top of the other shit youre eating that spikes your blood sugar. diabetes is inevitable

Try black coffee to get a caffeine fix without sugar or aspartame
a coke has a little less caffeine than a cup of coffee, most pop does to make it more addictive

[Anonymous No.15850550]

get a bottle that keeps your water cold and drink water. cold water is tastier than anything on earth

Hey, I'm giving up soda too, fren! I'll share some tips.
Give it up gradually. Firstly switch to something with less intense taste, like pepsi lite or diet coke. Then switch to sweet water, like bon aqua viva. After that you just switch to regular water (you can try carbonated, mineral or electrolyte water when regular water is too boring).
Right now I'm at sweet water stage, no urges to go back.
Also if you tie your abstinence to some specific date, it would be easier to quit. You know, just like it's easier to stop porn addiction during NNN. For example, I decided to drop my soda and chips addiction during Great Lent (in my country it's from March 15). I'm not really religious, but it's useful to have events like this.

Drink iced tea, unsweetened.
It still has flavor and won't be boring like water. It will also give you the caffeine you're used to. Finally, when you make it yourself, it is cheap as hell. You will save money.

Just switch over to the zero calorie versions of them. After a while you get used to the artificial sweetener taste and you can still drink soda.

beaver man was right until he mentioned education as a panacea. Greed and envy are sins, and you can't teach sins away. That's the main error progressives make. You cannot make paradise on earth happen through education and when you try and you don't understand why it doesn't work you inevitably start killing a bunch of people. Conservatives are useless but they're dealt a shit hand. They're trying to mitigate sin while the other side is talking about eradicating it. Guess who's got the more enticing sales pitch. That's why progressives win and win and win until everything goes to shit and we start over. Spengler was right, but I'm not sure he knew why

Aspartame still isn't good for you. I'd say just don't buy it or make an effort to cut down if you have any self control

dont listen to these idiots sugar addiction is a meme. Its like saying air is an addiction. The majority of what you eat is broken down to glucose and thrown in the citric acid cycle.

Why stop? A life without Coca Cola™ isn't a life worth living, if you ask me. I can't go more than four hours without having a cold glass of that delicious effervescent elixir, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'd argue that chemical sugar is even worse. Although fructose corn syrup does put strain on your liver and and inflame your body, the effects are well documented and it takes a decade just like with alcoholism for fatty liver. Artificial sweeteners may have damaging effects that you can't reverse.

Is that why america has the highest heart disease rate and japan has over 40% less cases, only 2% of their population(even with their sake drinking and salary worker smokers) get it each year and even then it's not as severe as Americas cases. To understand why high fructose corn syrup is bad, you have to understand what it does to your body, and how it's relevant with inflammation and heart disease. Highly refined and concentrated sugars inflame your arteries. Cholesterol tries to repair the damaged tissues in your arteries but fails and just clogs it up, since it's inflamed and the cholesterol usually trans fats which is in fast food can't fit inside these cracks in your arteries to repair, so it builds as plaque. Compare japan to america and there's one thing you'll notice, they don't drink much processed sugar, they drink a shit ton of green tea and water and if they do eat packaged foods it usually doesn't have much sugar in it, Under 2-5g.

just get a water bottle and start drinking cold water, even at restaurants(although I avoid eating at them because they cook with seed oils) order water only. You'll soon realize that the soda didn't even matter much. It literally does not matter to the taste or experience of food. You'll actually realize how much soda has hidden a lot of flavor from food.
