I want to preface this by saying I’ve been an avid soda drinker since I was a kid. I LOVE Coca Cola, so much so it should be a sin. No amount of calorie crunching or label reading could inhibit something I felt I owed to myself. Even in my 2018 weight loss journey I involved soda! Before my March decision to cut soda, I was drinking maybe 2 cans a day. 3 on weekends.
After regaining the weight and adding on a lot more due to a mix of stress eating and extenuating factor, back in March I decided to work on a foundational overhaul. Soda was definitely an aspect I needed to change. I personally decided to go cold turkey, out of sight out of mind. Can’t recommend this enough! I actually felt pretty grumpy when making this change, but the pounds honestly began dropping within the first week. When I’d get cravings, I purchased soda water. It offers the bubbly sensation+ flavor combination if you drop in a lemon wedge (not to mention good for flushing out your system in the morning!)
Today, I’ve lost 23 pounds in 2 months and I feel highly inclined to keep going. The soda water definitely facilitated this process and basically discounted the 150-300 daily liquid calories I had come to accept. I had a coke the other day after a grueling exam.. and I hated it. I didn’t get it, the sugar was a bit too much for me. Every now and again I’ll get the craving and remember the reality is pretty meh! I just purchased my first soda machine as I was basically spending 15/week on it. It works like a charm and definitely gives you a quick fill while minimizing bottle usage and spending!
I hope this gives everyone a little boost! You guys offer me so much that a little potential tip is the least I could do.
