Pop Addiction
    #14172769 - 03/23/11 09:35 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Ok.....so i found out not long ago that i have adult on-set of diabetes(Type 2):tensegrin: and am wanting to cut out all sugars to help increase my chance of reversing the disease,but i seem to have an addiction to pop that i didn't realize existed until recently..
I can easily drink a 2 liter or a 12 pack of pop in a day,Sometimes alot more.
I feel like an idiot :facepalm:,having caused my body harm without realizing it,but am now trying to change.
Quiting pop seems to be even harder than when i quit cigarettes.
I try to drink water and it only seems to dry my throat out,
I thought at first it was cause i was dehydrated and my body couldn't get enough,
but now it seems like maybe i am so used to the syrup in the pop,water won't help.
IDK really:shrug:,But i badly need to kick the habit.
I am mainly searching for a substitute for pop that doesn't have a horrible diet taste,or a way to curb my sugar/pop cravings.
So if anyone has any advice of any kind i would appreciate it.:tunnel:


--------------------

Yea...when someone talks shit to me for an hour and uses alot of profanity i tend to give them 0 stars for it...but i guess you think that has no bearing on this situation.Thank you for NOT giving me the same rights everyone else has in the voting system,but i honestly could'nt care less.FUCK YOU ALL!!!!!

wtf a 12 pack :facepalm: how is that possible

I used to go through about half a two liter every day. I switched to these things:



I drink 1 per day. I feel much healthier, and I've lost a bit of weight too... not that I was particularly fat before


If I want to drink something carbonated, I mix the following:





Its delicious, and healthy. fresca has zero calories

Don't give up -that stuff is really bad for you in many ways, and it's certainly not going to help your diabetes. Also, try to lose some weight and exercise more. Recent studies have shown that this can reverse the symptoms of diabetes in many cases. Good luck! :sun:

drink this for your carbonation craving. i know, sometimes you've gotta have that crisp feeling you get from pop. i haven't had it for a year at least, this stuff hits the spot.

and it mixes really well with gin too....

I have tried juices and like them but they are pretty expensive and don't have that syrup fix i seem to crave,but i can drink a 24-pack if i am just sitting around...idk why,or even when i started drinking so much...i never really noticed till now.I will try the orange fresca though that sounds good:awesomenod:

I have been eating right and working out lately and have lost 30 pounds and have gotten my cholesterol back to normal,but the pop just calls to me.

be careful about the diet pops too though...that aspartame is nasty too, and at 24 a day :eek: you're not really making a healthier choice...

go for the unsweetened stuff. all that sugar and syrup is what got you in trouble in the first place. gotta get rid of it.

la croix isn't sweetened at all. it's just carbonated spring water with some flavoring.

i agree, "sugar free" is just as bad when it really means "artificially sweetened"

It is if you have Type 2 diabetes. Drink vitamin water instead, I choose that over soda any day. I a former Coke addict myself(Coca Cola:wink:) and I understand the dark place your in.

Soda addiction is a very dangerous disease.
