Question

Hello everyone!  I absolutely love pop (soda) and find it to be the absolute hardest thing to give up.Hello everyone! I absolutely love pop (soda) and find it to be the absolute hardest thing to give up. Do you have any recommendations that could help with my need for a sweet drink? I've tried Bubly or sparkling water and I greatly dislike the taste. Thank you!  

Answer 1

Ice tea

Answer 2

Vitamin water zero - orange flavor is sweet

Answer 3

Try plain sparkling with stevia or you might like Zevia soda. I like some of the flavors, not all. The cola taste like diet coke.  

Answer 4

Ice is a great mix up but instead try Minute Maid 15 calories fruit punch or lemonade. Once in a while not regularly.  

Answer 5

Has anyone tried the home soda machine, you add flavor drops ?  

Answer 6

I like the flavored water at Costco. It is their store brand and comes in three different flavors in one package. Green, orange, and red. I like them all.  

Answer 7

Club soda and lemon. I also find kombucha satisfies both soda and beer cravings. They have a lot of flavors. So if you don’t like one, try another.  

Answer 8

I love Fresca. I usually have 1 or 2 a day.  

Answer 9

I relapsed.  

Answer 10

-Vitaminwater (flavored) -Flavored Water -Make a pitcher of unsweetened ice tea, lemonade, fruit punch, etc.  

Answer 11

I like the mixed berry diet green tea

Answer 12

I was a major soda drinker. Two or three a day if not more. I started drinking water with cyrstal light in it. I lost 2. 4 pounds the first week! It is hard to do. I still crave it, and I do have it in small amounts. I was shocked by weight loss aftrer giving it up.  

Answer 13

You can buy a carbonation machine, SodaStream, and use either plain water or buy flavours to add. We had one at work & I added @castile87843 Lite. Works great!  

Answer 14

I was a big pop drinker too. I drink alot of ice water and unsweetened ice tea with lemon. When I need a break from water and ice tea I will drink lemonade, and once in a great while I will drink a glass of pop. Pop keeps me up at night because of the caffeine so I try to drink very little of it.  

Comments

@sushi lemonade! Thanks I will try that as a substitute. Soda is my weakness.  

Answer 15

I’ve lost 93 pounds without giving up pop. I also drink TruLemon, but drink about 2 cans of diet pop a day.  

Comments

I used to drink all of that pop and I gained weight from it.

@sushi like I said, I lost 93 pounds.  

Answer 16

Soda Stream

Answer 17

I was addicted, 2 litres every nite, I ad2 stop so everytime I wanted it I drank some nice cordial so I wasn't thirsty anymore, now I drink lots of water n herbal tea n never touch pop xx

Answer 18

I drink Kroger brand sparklimg water and its so good. They have so many different flavors. The lemon lime is really good. Reminds me of sprite.  

Answer 19

I prefer Diet Coke, I also like crystal light green tea. I prefer to eat my calories, not drink them. I feel concerned about the diet sweeteners used in those products. Not a fan of drinking water.  

Answer 20

I drink Diet Dew every day, lost 72 lbs been at goal over 2 years

Answer 21

I really like the cranberry/pineapple diet juice. Only 5 calories or so, but it is not carbonated.  

Answer 22

Diet 7 up ZeroPoint

Answer 23

Unsweetened iced tea mixed with your favorite flavored water or flavored seltzer water.  

Answer 24

I gave up a heavy soda addiction with the sparkling water with black cherry its at walmart

Answer 25

I was a heavy diet soda drinker. 6 710ml bottles every day n a half. i literally just had to stop buying it and totally went to water. In the first 12 days I had done almost 24 gallons. it will suck but when u dont have it around. u cant be tempted.  

Answer 26

I have a soda stream, if you don’t want to use diet sweeteners, just mix a bit of fruit juice with it. There are many things you can add to the fizzy water.  

Answer 27

Walmart has a great carbonated water. Flavors are good. Cans or larger size bottles.  

Answer 28

Funny how I just saw this post and I was going to post this for everyone to see I just bought this cherry flavoured bubbly water and it tastes so much like Dr Pepper I am in love! And it’s zero points no sugar and no sodium!  

Answer 29

If you are trying to avoid all the aspartame in diet cokes, I would get Bubly and add the Stur fruit or lemon concentrate to it. It is Zero points and has a great flavor. But, if you want a great premade soda, you gotta go with Blue Sky. It's zero sugar and has a great flavor. Virgil's zero sugar made with stevia has a really good Orange and Lemon Lime soda, as well, but can be pricey. Those are my two favorites. Other than that, I just buy water/tea and use the Stur brand or Sweet Drops to make it taste good.  

Answer 30

Seltzer water is gross. I love the ICE drinks. No calories no sugar and many flavors. We get them at Costco just their Kirkland Brand! OR at Walmart they have their brand of I believe great American is the name. Lots of flavors and very cheap. The lemon lime tastes like 7 up to me

Answer 34

I was addicted to Pepsi 84 oz a day every day. I just made myself drink water and started cutting back on Pepsi just a little bit, now I find myself craving water not Pepsi. Took awhile but it happens

Answer 35

Before starting WW, I drank 2 cans of Coca-Cola a day plus sweet tea (Chick-fil-A and Sonny’s). It was super hard to stop, but I do treat myself with 1 glass every now and then. It’s been 30 days. and I have had a sweet drink 2x. I usually have unsweetened tea with lemon and Stevia or Sprite Zero a couple of times a week. Water has become my best friend.

Comments

@ottillia , I love the peach tea one and the true cherry limeade. Yum. I drink diet coke as well. I always have water to drink and have started enjoying better than pop. Which is hard to believe for me.

Answer 45

Have you tried cordial? I think it’s called squash in some countries, it’s like a concentrate you mix with water or sparkling water. Where I am there’s lots of zero point ones available, I mix with sparkling water as a soft drink replacement

Answer 46

Wild Cherry Pepsi ZERO Cherry Coke ZERO OR my personal favorite Mountain Dew ZERO (this tastes, to me, exactly like the real one

I was a pop drinker as well. I hated water. then I purchased a Sodastream. best investment ever! Walmart carries their own brand of water enhancers and there are so many flavours.

Answer 56

I also shared your struggle with Diet Coke. Tried several times to replace it with other drinks but went back to my Diet Coke. Finally just made up my mind that I didn’t want to drink it anymore and that did it! Just make up your mind. You can do if if I can. Coke Free 5 months now. Never going back!  

Answer 57

Maybe you need to give up trying to find a satisfying soda and go for a drink that is completely different - like hot cinnamon tea. In other words, find something else to love.  

Answer 58

Plain Seltzer water with a few drops of crystal light. Lots of flavors. Carbonated and sweet.  

Answer 59

Hint water. Can get at Sam’s club. No carbonation.  

Answer 60

Crystal light

Answer 61

Diet soda?  

Answer 62

The Ice brand of sparkling water is what helped me cut back on soda. Its flavored better so you don't get that nasty sparkling water taste. They are all zero points. The mango is my favorite.

I get at Aldi's different flavors, zero calories.
