I actually did a cleanse (the Master Cleanse) and I stopped COLD TURKEY. I don't think it would be possible for me to do it slowly because I love it too much. One of my friends stopped gradually. Basically she counted how many cans of Diet Coke she drank per day and she cut back by 1 can per week. She was drinking about 6 cans a day (I know it sounds like a lot but I was drinking WAY MORE than that a day LOL). It took her about 2 months to finally give it up. But to be honest, I think she suffered more than I did. My problems were over after a week but not hers.
So basically if you are drinking 5 cans a day, then here's how you would do it:
Week 1 - 5 cans a day
Week 2 - 4 cans a day
Week 3 - 3 cans a day
Week 4 - 2 cans a day
Week 5 - 1 can a day
Week 6 - NO MORE DIET COKE lol
I couldn't do this method. I was just way too addicted LOL Cold turkey was really the only option for me but everyone is different. Maybe this way would work for you.
