I just started my weight lose blog, your blog is such an inspiration! I cut out sodas about a year and some change ago. Its crrazy how much sugar is in cheap can of grocert store brand soda. Its about 56 grams. I recently realized that Low Fat doesn’t mean it isn’t pounded with sugar as Sugar and Oil Fat isn’t in the same category.

I read something about the amount of sugar in mixed drinks a couple of years back and was shocked. From then on, I switched to white and red wine.

My biggest issue when changing my eating habits was juice. Yes…juice. Sunny D and I had a life long relationship…much to my own detriment. And I loved soda and lemonade (powdered or fresh) and iced tea (but I hated sweet tea). Now I drink water all of the time and will occasionally indulge in a diet soda when I go out for dinner.

But, yes…that juice habit was a mean one to kick. And it did take a while lol.

good info, exactly why I mostly drink water at restaurants and pretty much every day, all day. I DO allow for some juice and coffee though because I love them but 80% of the time I’m drinking water. just got into green tea a couple years ago too! I JUST had a conversation with one of my besties yesterday that loves Pepsi and drinks it daily about those empty calories. I haven’t given soda up entirely, but I do drink it rarely when I just have a craving for some.

I must admit its hard to stay away from those! They are so cute and fruity and delicious. I stick to wine (which I still tend to over due) or I get a lil umbrella in my tea and call it a day! I really don’t drink soda anymore just h20, tea, and coke zero (very infrequently) I used to put a day and a half away in just drinks sheesh what a waste!

I read something like this a long time ago and since I wasn’t really a juice drinker it wasn’t too hard for me to give it up. Also my kids cherish water and will take it over anything so if we do have juice it lasts for ever in my house. Also if I want some juice it will be freshed squeezed or made in my juicer.

The hardest thing was mixed drinks. now I usually don’t get the frou frou drinks so for me it was my Cranberry & vodka. That was during my clubbing days. Now it’s wine, I make sure if I drink wine I limit it to two glasses.

definitely all the girly cocktails (cosmos, flirtinis, and whatever else an establishment wants to name them)! in general, i TRY to stick to red wine…doesn’t always work out that way though.

i stay away from soft drinks–gave it up years ago as well.

i don’t mind orange juice though during the day at work i drink tea though admittedly i could stand to drink more water
