good for you for taking control of the soda and deciding on good choices for your body!
you will have headaches for the first little while when you cut out soda. this is because sugar is an addiction just the same as nicotine. they will go away once you start drinking enough water. drinking soda dehydrates your body, but the sugar rush compensates and your body is fooled into thinking you are not dehydrated. once you dont have the sugar rush any longer, your body realizes you are dehydrated which causes a headache. drink a TON of water!!!
someone had mentioned drinking fruit juices, but that is kind of replacing one bad with another. fruit juices are better since they dont have all of the chemicals that are present in soda, but the sugar content can be ridiculous. a lot of fruit juices have added sugar (read the ingredients..andtheing ending in "ose" glucose, fructose...etc is a fancy way of saying added sugar. it would be better to eat a piece of fruit since then you know all of the sugar is natural plus the fibber in the "pulp" of the fruit helps to better digest the sugars present. also, all fruit juices legally have to be pasteurized which "kills" most nutrients in the juice anyway...you are basically drinking sugar water. I have a juicer and make all my own juices...veggie and fruit
switching to diet pesi may decrease the sugar, but if you are doing this for health reasons, that wouldnt be any more beneficial...and its not only because of the aspartame. there is NOTHING natural about a can of soda...every single ingredient is a chemical and man made with absolutely NO nutritional value. i highly doubt that anyone here would feed soda to their yorkie...why feed it to yourself?
