We all know that canned and bottled soda has no nutritional value, no health benefits, large calorie and sugar content. Each 350 ml soda drink has 140 calories and 39 grams of sugar.
The truth is, most of the soda addict feels that the addiction was not to sugar, or caffeine, or soda at all. The addiction is actually rooted from the good ole carbonation. There is something about bubbles that just makes the drink taste better.
So here’s some tips and tricks to end your suffering.
1. Get on a soda schedule.
Jot down a schedule for your soda consumption. For example, if you normally drink 3 sodas per day, cut down to 2 per day for an entire month, and then 1 per day the month after. From there, you can gradually cut down even further.
2. Find a substitute
After a month or so you will notice that your craving towards canned and bottles soda is slowly decreasing. And don’t worry about sparkling water. It is just like plain water but with bubbles.
