Getting Toned

happy to hear that substitute the soda for a drinks you enjoy also it will ease the transition it will take 3 days for the sugarcane cravings to pass and 21 days to forget the sensation and habit of the soda but with a substitute you will be setting up a new one
no luck needed change is instant

I was just thinking of that today! I enjoy drinking ice tea with real lime juice so that will be my substitute, not the same taste but much healthier. One withdraw symptom that I'm having today is a bad headache so I hope it goes away, I already took aspirin but not helping me much.

Even if you are ready for the challenge, you don't want to overwhelm your body. Better to crawl and walk before you can run.

I haven't been making sudden changes to my diet or fitness. I have been working out for a couple of years already and I have been making changes to my diet since my awakening started and that's been about 2 and half years ago. At the moment the only sudden change I be making is to stop drinking soda and the reason I'm doing it is cause the way I drink soda is in a very unhealthy way.

Yes, I drink a lot of Coca-Cola, my favorite one. I don't drink coffee anymore, I sort of replace the coffee with Soda (not a good choice) It was a way for me to get my energy in the morning. But then I would just drink soda through out the day and that's what I want to stop.

Hi Deepsoul, that's great that you stop drinking soda completely! Soda is just not good at all. That's what I want to be able to say some day.

I do hope that you can move more around, little by little.

Good move on the soday. Ice t sounds like a great alternative. Sugar i think is thr most important thing to limit. Especially if you exercise. Good luck!

Thanks Heaven ,I think its starting to happen ,love the summer too ,just a thought my daughter is 28yrs old and she has a preference for soda water, she likes her bubbles ,she just drinks it straight ,but makes her own with a soda stream machine so no added salt..i suppose you could add lemon or lime or maybe even fresh strawberries.
