Ok, so I took some good advise from Jillian on the biggest loser, she said "American enough with the diet soda". Once my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer, the first thing the doctor said " you need to stop drinking Diet Coke". I was bummed, cause I LOVE Dirt Dr Pepper. I mean I LOVE it!!!! So, I decided that I needed to stop my 10 can a day habbit - ladies that was no typo 10 sodas! So, Im on my 3rd week and feel great. I drink water with lemon and green tea. I use no artificial sugars or anything. Im on a quest to be healthy and with as many people that I have known with cancer, I need to start early to take care of myself. I eat alot of veges and chicken breast and try to avoid fast foods. So far so good.....PS... A diet dr pepper has 41mgs of caffeen and that means I was getting about 410mgs of caffeen a day!! EEK!!

| Hi Lori!! Pretty much all you have said. The caffeen, artificial sweetener... There are links to cancers and artificial sweeteners. This is just my own personal choice to give it up, since I am a soda addict and could not go a day without one. I know its not good for me and thats why I gave it up.... |

| i was just wondering, i drink soda but it is always diet and caffeine free i can't handle the caffeine. i could when i wass younger but not anymore i get headaches. i can barely drink decaf cause there is still some caffeine in it. wow when you said 10sodas. I am so proud of you. changing any kind of habit is so very hard. thankfully i don't drink that much. I do also get in 64-80 oz of water also most days. I try to only drink water or milk but it is hard I want a different flavor. |

| Tracy I am so surprised that you quit your pop addiction cold turkey. I had to get my husband into that becasue he can drink probably the same amount you were drinking a day in mountain dew and I am sure there is way more caffeine and sugar in that then diet. However, the bad side affects are like you say headaches. It took him ahwil but the headaches subsided and he is feeling a lot better. Kudos to you for being so motivated to ensure your healthy. Keep up the hard work. |
