I honestly hate water. I have to do something like propel.

ummm propel has no sugar

The Board Idiot

Isn't Sucralose considered a sugar?

I don't know but 0 grams of sugar and no calories.

Not to lose weight. I just have to get water in my system somehow.

I think this is part of the problem

Have you tried Hint? I don't think I would actually pay for it, but they have it

that sounds like a healthy alternative to soda.

I actually just went cold-turkey by flooding by body with water.

carbonated water: either store bought or with the soda stream.

Nasty!

PharmD

Those were my thoughts at first; but once the taste is acquired, carbonated

Oompabluepaw

Make a commitment just for two weeks.

Finngirl

4/27/15 10:36am

I disagree. I've tried this, and soda just sounds better and better. Then when

I think its sugar for me. When I cut it out, it tastes awful bringing it back.

Finngirl

4/27/15 10:54am

I don't know about that. I decided I was not going to drink any soda for 2015.

crack

4/27/15 10:39am

I wonder if you'd feel the same way when you actually tasted it.

Finngirl

4/27/15 10:41am

I feel much better so this might be a permanent change. Or I might just be a

jayriggity

4/27/15 10:55am

To me its a sticky sweet and chemical-tasting

Finngirl

4/27/15 10:57am

That's about how my brother describes it - sticky and overly-sweet.

jayriggity

4/27/15 10:59am

I don't agree at all-I don't really drink much Soda anymore

kimdaddy35

4/27/15 10:44am

My Dad had the biggest soda addiction I have ever seen.

PharmD

4/27/15 10:39am

did he drink any water? I just can't fathom how people consume that much soda

Mayor of Cougartown

4/27/15 10:43am

Not much - He did the 50 mile JFK ultramarathon a few times on Diet Coke.

PharmD

4/27/15 10:45am
