Trying to drink more water and not so much soda
« on: March 09, 2017, 12:43:32 pm »
So I am trying to not drink so much soda and more water. I'm drinking lemon water now. So refreshing.

Excellent decision. I make up a pitcher of water with lemons and limes every night and refrigerate.  The next day I am refresed with this no cal drink!

I drink pretty much water, but I also drink soda everyday.  I've got to stop that, but I look forward to it when I'm watching tv at night.

A company figured this problem out for those of us who just can't break away from soda is Zevia a naturally sweetened soda,  non GMO and no other nasty stuff. I had it last week the cola is great the rootbeer rocks and I'm going to get more. Its pretty spendy  but better than the junk in other diet sodas so the cost I think is worth it.

I have cut way back on soda and only drink it about once a month.  My go to drink is bottled water but it by the case.

Agreed I love the refreshing after taste the lemon and limes make, very good diet food.

      The problem with sodas is: Too many dangerous chemicals that can harm humans.
      Now: Good news! You can make "water infusions". What are these? In a pitcher.
      place some of your favorite fresh cut fruits. Some stores like Carrs/Safeway have
      them in the salad bar: watermelon, honey dew and cantaloupe cubes, peaches,
      strawberries and much more. Add some mint leaves, parley leaves...if you want.
      Now enjoy!

Try also to drink tea... maybe some decaf... or a detox... all helps! And all is a greater substitute to soda!

I cut out soda a long time ago.  I mostly drink water and tea (unsweetened).  I also like flavored sparking water as long as it doesn't have added sugar or artificial sweeteners.

Good for you! We need water to survive not soda. I quit drinking soda over 5 years ago and it was the best decision of my life! You will see your bloated belly go down ...lol.

Excellent decision. I have been drinking water for so long that I do not find water refreshing.

I also look forward to the glass of soda. Do you find that you enjoy the soda even more if you don't have it as often?

Great idea! I might have to try more than just lemons.
