I love drinking coke, I used to drink it daily, but now I have stopped since Tuesday. I am drinking water (always was a water drinker) fruit punch and lemonade. But now I have been told the fruit punch and the lemonade have high amounts of sugar. So, what can I drink to satisfy my cravings? :eyespop: :toothless |
I do not drink ANY pop or ANY juices at all (unless it's with alcohol, which is a totally different thing,) and haven't drank any as an actual beverage for at least 3 years, probably going on four. My teeth thank me for it :D
If you want something sugary, try making yourself fruit smoothies. Get a blender, and blend up an entire jug of smoothie, and work your way through it during the day. It's REALLY good for you, and it has that sweet juicy taste/satisfaction.
If you can't be bothered to do that (doesn't take long really,) try drinking some chocolate milk, or water with squeezed lemon.
I personally buy pre-prepared frozen fruit in bulk, and then heat it up just a little in the microwave to help the blender smoosh it up, then throw the mixed fruits straight in, blend, and drink. You can throw some whey/protein powder in there too if you like, or some (soy) milk or honey.
Very healthy, and helps with that desire for something sugarey. |

Water, Iced tea 90% of the time 
Ya, I drink soft drink on occasion, not too often. I just don't like the bitter taste.
I'm also a fan of fruitopia |

Add a little crystal light to your water. they come in individual sized servings for 500ml water bottles now. good for a change every once in awhile.
as of January, I will be cola and coffee free for a year. It was a bitch to kick those habits |

Sugar is very unhealthy, I dont drink carbonated drinks anymore. I drink water and tea thats about it and when I use something to sweeten tea I use honey.
Honey is actually a real good way to "control" your sugar cravings and it's healthy for both your skin and hair since it attracts and retains moisture. Not to mention honey can never go bad and it is tastey. |

i never drink soda , a glass of orange juice in the morning and coffee during the day or tea but soda is unhealthy ......well if u drink it in excess so i would recommand u to drink some flavored water maybe?
and then cut and just stick to juices ...100% pure juice so it's healthy and water

| Thanks for the info guys. I haven't had soda since Tuesday, right now I think I am almost over the craving. Last night we had pizza and I thought "I need to drink soda with this, it's the only way to have pizza," then I just had some orange juice and that was it. :toothless |

i'm guessing you don't do drugs if you're having this hard of a time kicking soda. |
