I have been free of pop for 8 days now!

[tm37]

So I realized how much pop I was drinking and last thursday I drank my last Moutain Dew I had.

Wlamart was out when I went to get some SO I ran down to Holiday (gas station) they had a big sign saying buy one get one free water.

So I bought two and Yesterday I bought a brita filter thing for the fridge.

I have been drinking water like crazy and The main thing I have noticed is that I pee alot more.

 

[mrrman]

dont drink pop usually...maybe 1 or 2 a month if that....water is much better

 

[dighn]

lol you sound like you've never been off pop before
:thumbsup:

Good for you. Caffeine and pointless sugar is not very good for you.

Not to mention a recent study showed that the acids in soda do a number on your tooth enamel.

Soda as a once in a while treat is fine. But as your primary source of fluids is just awful.

soda!

good for you water is recommended over any other drink because it usually is the best liquid to flush out toxins.

I was seriously going through a 12 pack of 16.7 oz bottles over the weekend and another during the week (at home.)

Not to mention the Pop at work and then with lunch and stuff I was drinking a ton of pop.

I fill up my 20oz Water bottle about 4 times a day at work and I don't even count at home.

I did not even have coffee yesterday (and I had a pounding head ache) so this morning I went and got a 24 oz coffee so that I would not drink the entire pot and I have moved to water.

When I first read the title I thought you were poop free for 8 days and I was like :Q

I stopped drinking soda about 4 years ago. Before that I would only drink sprite and I had 1 a day or less. So I wasn't a heavy soda drinker.

Try quitting soda too while you're at it

 

[raystorm]

I usually drink 2 cans of Diet Pepsi almost everyday and barely drink water unless its flavored with something like tea. I drink more Diet Pepsi and Coffee than water and I know thats pretty bad.


Guess I'll find out the hard way if it'll screw up my health eh?


Good for you though for drinking more water instead of soda..or pop as you call it.

You just pee more?

You don't feel 9832479871423% better?

 

[ArmchairAthlete]

I've been off for almost a month =)

I just go for water or juice usually. Can't stand diet soda, I prefer water over it.

I have noticed I sleep about 11 billion times better (like a log)

I have not noticed any other big changes.

I did the same thing about 2 months ago. I also realized how much pop/soda I was drinking, and completely laid off of it. I purchased a Brita water pitcher, as the tap water here is horrendous.

I didn't drink a single pop for over 2 weeks, but I was beginning to realize that I had a dependancy on caffeine. I was always tired, going to sleep early and always having trouble getting out of the bed in the morning. So I started drinking pop again, and it remedied the problem .

EDIT: My sentence structure was all out of whack!

I've been there, done that, you're not missing out on much.

Oy vay, what is with all you 'Soda' people, it's POP!!!! not soda! I dont think I'd wanna drink a soda, jeez soda water thats pretty nasty! However pop is very tasty in comparison.


That said I'm from Michigan, we call it pop. And yes quitting drinking pop does help your body tremendously, alot less empty calories! According to my nursing professor drinking just one 20 ounce pop a day for 365 days means an average weight gain of 10 to 15 pounds!

Oh and a little 'pop' quiz, I'll give a cookie to the first person to tell me what medicinal use Vernor's has.

I have run into that but I am going to tough it out.

I feel worse since I stopped drinking coke in many ways, but then I've had no set schedule and my sleep patterms have also been totally out of whack.
Manged to quit last time this topic came up, and I've not had any for the last maybe 2 months except for a can on Saturday when I was really out of energy, and I needed a quick boost.
