What are some good alternates to soda?

[blissinanarchy1]

The amount of soda I drink is obscene. The only reason I’m not overweight is because of working out and my actual diet is pretty good. I have no problem drinking over 6 cans a day. I don’t even only drink it when thirsty, I drink soda out of boredom too. Strangely enough, I don’t eat out if boredom, or eat a lot of junk food. Water itself isn’t too appealing to me. Any healthier good tasting alternatives?

As for me I used to be the same way & it was one soda after another until I simply took a break from drinking soda. I went from three or four sodas a day down to one & after that I would only treat myself when I went out to dinner & after that I stopped. A week ago I had a coke for the first time in a few years. I switched to water mostly, milk, juice & mainly drinks with zero sugar & low sodium.

Dude I understand. I couldn't stop drinking soda for the life of me. But I got turned on to Coke Zero 8 months ago. It doesn't taste like diet pop. It ALMOST tastes like a regular coke. Now by default I consume half the calories I used to because I'm not consuming all that sugar. Give it a try man.

[blissinanarchy1]

I don't know man artificial sugar is worse for you than regular. The fake shit causes diabetes and cancer more so than regular.

[Opinion Owner]

Life is about percentages. Let me tell you the odds of getting diabetes from so much refined sugar is exponentially higher than POTENTIALLY getting cancer from aspertame. I wouldn't buy into that cancer rumor anyhow it has been approved by the FDA. Besides you think the diabetes drugs you'd take in future are any less worse for your body? The simple fact is EVERYTHING you put into your body has an effect. There is no perfect food or drink. It's all about making better choices overall.

Sparkling water is great.
Fruit tea and lemon water as well
🤗

You could add mio or something to water, or add some sliced citrus fruits.

Sparkling water is a decent step away from soda too. There's also Zevia which is a zero cal stevia based soda pop which is healthier than diet sodas.

GL man.

Water is a great drink... I drink it a lot, and occasionally supplement it with a small bottle of Gatorade.

[LiamSawyer]

I like lime flavored sparkling water thatbis sugar, sodium & calorie free

[blissinanarchy1]

My mother is in the process of drinking one right now., she don’t like it

[LiamSawyer]

I often add a little fresh lime juice and find it very refreshing.

[joeldalton]

Flavored seltzers if you need carbonation and some taste to it. But really plain water is best.

[DevinAM]

Oof, that does sound unhealthy, I use to drink up to 3 a day so not as much but now I generally only have 1 a day & water for my other drinks.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Water. Nothing beats good old water.

[blissinanarchy1]

Can’t do it. I don't know, I need flavor. I’ll sometimes drink fiji or that greenish colored bottle that’s supposed to be volcano water, but you can't get it in cases

[Astarlessnightsky]

I got a simliar problem, back in the days i drank a lot of juice, but once you get used to plain water, its really tasty.

And don't overpay for water, usually the cheapest one is the best, either Tap water (sparkled up with co2 at home) or the cheapest grocery store water.

other alternatives are:

Maybe try cold tea?

Or watered down juice?
Regular juice has the same amount of sugar as soda.

[douride2]

I usually just drink plain old water.

[blissinanarchy1]

I don't know if it’s just too boring for me or what, but I hate it. by the way, long time no see, think we followed eachother like 2 months ago. How you been?

[douride2]

I'm doing just great this long weekend.

[blissinanarchy1]

Sounds good. I’m omw to go four wheeling and hoping I don’t break my leg

[Someone80004]

Sparkling water? Fruit juice?

[Iron_Man]

Carbonated sparkling water

[blissinanarchy1]

[Iron_Man]

[blissinanarchy1]

[Iron_Man]
