re: Quitting Soda

I know your frustration,I gave up carbs cold turkey no problem, but took an additional 7 months to get off diet soda and artificial sweeteners. I know your probably talking regular soda, but both super addictive.

My saving grace was green tea- I boil it, then make it into iced tea- of course you can do traditional tea as well. When I need carbonation I drink Zevia. Hadn't had a classic soda/diet soda since July and don't miss them anymore! I sweeten with liquid stevia, but you would be better off with any noncaloric sweetner vs drinking soda on a daily basis. Hope this helps and good luck. Your headaches could be sugar related but I imagine caffeine and possibly sodium are playing a role as well, so don't be afraid of either to prevent the headaches.
