Just substitute with tea or water, or something that tastes good, and is not bad for you.
Drink Vitamin Water, it is healthy, and testes great, and is not dirty, like everyone says. |

It's addicting. Really. The caffine in the pop is, anyway.
They sometimes classify caffine as a DRUG (on teenhealth.org... I had to go on there for school because we were learning about the dangers of drugs and I saw caffine on there on the list of drugs. oops!) it's because it's not so good for you and it's SO addicting. I am addicted helplessly to Diet Coke as well!!
If I don't have at least three glass of diet coke a day I get caffine head aches. I tried to go a week without but it was horrible. couldn't do it!
If you really want to stop than you'll have to do it gradually-don't go cold turkey! Eventually you'll probably be able to quit if you start GRADUALLY.
It's just my guess but I think they must add something else besides caffine to pop that is addicting. Cocaine used to be in Coca-Cola before they knew how horrible it was to your health because it gave you the euphoria and it made you addicted to their product. Then they took it out when everyone found out it was bad. It's just a guess of mine they've added some other legal addictive now that they can't use cocaine (besides just caffine)? maybe. I don't know, though. maybe I'm just extreemly parinoid?
yes I have the same problem.
Good luck trying to stop =

Mix some filtered water in there. Drinking diet drinks arent awesome for you but as long as you stay hydrated, a coke now and then wont hurt. I drink atleast one water per 3 diet dr. peppers. I understand, i drink them constantly too. |

just drink something else. it's not that hard. i rarely drink soda. next time you are buying food, just don't buy soda. get milk or juice. even water is better than soda. |

My husband and I had this conversation just the other night. I have a Diet Coke addiction as well. I can't seem to drink enough of it. I've heard that Diet is actually worse for you! I developed the addiction at a very young age and literally drink over 100 oz a day of it. My mom is the exact same way. She may even be worse than me. The best thing to do is to try and subsitute a different drink like water or tea or Gatorade in bewteen each soda you have. It's hard, I know - I hate water, but the acid in soda will start to really mess up your stomach (amongst other things...) If you can stop before it becomes a huge issue - I wish you the best of luck, try your very hardest!!! |

Look this is a medical issue. You need to know that. Your pancrease has been working on overload as long as you have been drinking diet or regular coke.
You need to really be aware of all the foods your eating and make sure you are eating low glycemic ( a diabetic diet). Your body is telling you that it will switch you to diabetic if you dont watch out. Do you really want to go on insulin shots and meds just because you cant stay away from pop? Its a choice you need to be aware of.
Its all about addiction and you need to give your body the food and nutrition you need instead of junk in any way. |

Caffeine is addictive. When you drink it, the pop gives you a feeling of euphoria, but that comes from the excess cortisol (the stress hormone) that is being produced. Diet pop is worse than regular pop and regular pop is one of the worse things you can do to your body. It depletes your body of calcium for one. The diet drink, just like the sugar one, causes your body to produce insulin and that slows your immune system way down and causes the cells in your body to become insulin resistant. The first step is hypoglycemia and then diabetes type II, then you end up at the terminal with kidney failure. Not an exciting trip either.
One of the best ways to stop is to substitute water each time you want to drink the pop. Drink the water, as much as you can before drinking any pop. Then go to the health food store and buy a Kombucha. It has a carbonated taste and is really good for you. It is much more refreshing than pop.
good luck to you |
