Craving Control

I post earlier about drinking diet pepsi and lately since I've cut back to maybe 1 a day (since I'm good on caffeine all day from my coffee in the morning) I've actually been dropping more weight fairly quickly! I just wanted to share it with you guys that either it's the sodium or the fizz since the bubbles are bloating but I feel so different! I recommend once you get your caffeine fix, maybe add one more caffeinated drink for a boost later in the day and then just have some water and put in some lemon juice to help cleanse your body. I'm just amazed at the difference in myself lately after doing this. Good luck fellow caffeine junkies! =D

Hi Laur, Maybe you can try mixing some seltzer water with your Crystal Light to give it some fizz. I've not tried it but I know you can add it to jello. LOL so might be an option to try something new.

Hi laur,

I crave the fizz as well. I do not love water. That's never going to change, lol. I drink caffeine free, sodium free, diet rite cola. It took a while to get used to it, but now I love it. I drink some water during the day, but only because I should:)

I am a Pepsi guzzler myself. i would drink 2-3 20oz bottles of the stuff during the work day and another one at night. for a while all i was drinking was Pepsi. no water. now all of a sudden i am drinking water to the point i feel like i am going to float off somewhere. the one thing i think for me with drinking soda is the fizz. i crave the fizz. anyway of dealing with that? I don't like selzer water, it tasts nasty. I also like to drink Crystal Light, but crave the fizz. that is when i get into trouble.

Yes! I am a recovering "Coke Head". I used to drink almost a litre of diet coke a day!! I now allow myself two small glass a day but find I sometimes don't even take those because I'm too busy drinking water! Yesterday I poured a glass of diet coke and only ended up drinking half of it. The information about the Diet rite sodas is great....thanks to all who posted on that, I am switching over immediately!

Pepsi is my vice, I crave it!! Though, I have slowly weened myself off of it before starting slim fast. It is one challenge I already know is coming. I have started drinking Splenda Kool Aid just to satisfy that sweet drink craving.

I am with you! :)

I had no idea that Diet Rite had no sodium! Thank you for that!! I've been slowly eliminating the diet pepsi and I'm down to 1 a day. I feel like the fizz bloats me up but the sodium I never really thought much about. I'm good throughout the day with caffeine from having coffee every morning so this should work for me. =)

Oh I agree, I love the Diet Right Cherry Cokes.. They are my favorite so far too! I love the fact of no sodium it sure seemed to help get rid of the extra water weight!

Thos of you drinking regular sodas you'd be amazed at the diffrence switching not only to diet soda but one with no sodium will make on your weight loss because of water retention from soda in regular drinks!

Hi, I was wondering if any one else has had a Pepsi crutch in the past. I seem to be having an extremely hard time not drinking it and I know that soda is one of my biggest weight gaining substances! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Diet Rite is one of the best for substituting if you absalutely can not do with out. It is choosen because is uses splenda and it doesn't impact your glucose, it is cafeen free, sodium free , and calorie free. It taste pretty good too and know they have lots of flavors in it. I just tried the tangarine flavored soda and its pretty good, but there reg diet soda I like too.

Right before I started dieting I was drinking the Cherry cokes, so whenever I started my diet I stop drinking coke all together. That lasted about 1 or 2 weeks. So I started my diet. But diet has a lot of sodium, so I switched to Diet Rite Cherry and I love it, Plus it has nothing in it.

Pepsi was the hardest thing for me to stop drinking ! Iwas defenetly addicted. and i didnt like diet because of the after taste. but after talking to nutritionist and doctors even told me that if i wanted to continue drinking soda diet would be better it took me a month to get used to the taste but now i couldnt emagine drinking a regular pepsie. so try replacing the pepsi you do drink once in a while whith diet untill you get used ti it =)

I'm also a Coke girl... I limit myself to one every 2-4 days for now. But I hope after a while it'll be more like one a week or less. Surprisingly, I was able to cut back and I thought it would be harder. I think because I don't want to waste my limited calories on soda unless I have extra somehow. That really keeps me from drinking even just one a day. I don't want to use up even 140 calories a day on it!

I am a Coke girl myself. I tried switching to diet but found I would drink about 4 times as many Diet Cokes as regular. Now if I have a Coke, I drink one can and that is it. It takes self-control but its worth every drop!
