6 reasons that'll make you stop drinking soda today
1. Gives you ugly teeth (see the picture above)
- The phosphoric acid in soda weakens your bones and rots your teeth so bad that even this teeth whitening tutorial here won't help you.
- Don't believe me? There have been reports of people who have put a broken tooth in a bottle of soda and then in 10 days the acids in the soda dissolved the tooth completely.
2. You wouldn't drink toilet bowl cleaner would you?
- If you got shitty toilet stains and nothing to clean it with then don't worry… Just use a can of soda and let the carbonic, citric, and phosphoric acids in soda breakdown the stains exactly the same way they weaken your bones and rot your teeth.
- Bonus: You can also use soda to clean tough stains off vitreous china, soda removes grease stains from clothes, soda removes rust spots from chrome car bumpers and soda cleans corrosion off car battery terminals.
3. Soda (even diet soda) makes you fat
- The artificial sweeteners contained in diet soda tricks your brain into increasing your cravings for more food and as you should know… The more you eat = the more weight you gain and also…
- A University of San Antonio study found that people who drank diet soda increased their waist lines 6 times more than people drinking any other kind of drink (including non-diet sodas!) plus…
- Drinking regular soda is like drinking 20+ packets of pure sugar! And when you digest pure sugar it is very easily converted into fat and it makes your blood sugar rise and drop so fast that you'll quickly be craving another can of soda or another bad food that causes weight gain and…
- Depending on your current weight & height… You could easily gain over 20 pounds per year just by drinking only 2 glasses of soda per day and…
- Soda leeches vitamin A, calcium and magnesium out of your body which are all needed to help you lose weight.
4. Makes it harder to lose weight but…
- Not because of the reason stated above but because in theory… The carbonation from soda binds to the fat cells making it harder for you to burn fat but in reality…
- The carbonation causes you to get bloated making you gain false fat which will give you the appearance that you put on a few pounds.
5. Do you like Cancer?
- The caramel coloring in soda is purely for looks but its a carcinogen and if you don't know… A carcinogen is any substance directly involved in causing cancer and…
- The aspartame & potassium benzoate in sodas breaks down into the carcinogens formaldehyde & benzene after you digest them
6. Starting today you'd lose 1 pound a week
(See full story here)
- Once you start replacing all the soda you drink with water and/or green tea to get your caffeine fix… You'll lose on average 1 pound per week just by doing that.
- Add in exercise along with some simple dieting rules and you'll be losing at least 10 pounds every 4-to-6 weeks
How you can use water to make you stop drinking soda
Although water won't necessarily curb your soda addiction…
- You can drink 8 or more ounces of water before each meal (or before each can of soda) to fill you up to try to prevent you from drinking so much soda or better yet…
- Before you drink any soda during the day… Make your own personal rule where You have to drink at least 1 liter of water before you drink any soda that day and each week…
- Increase your water intake by however much you want so hopefully…
- By your 4th or 5th week you are drinking 2 liters all the way up to a ONE gallon of water before you drink any soda and this way…
- Even though you are still drinking soda it won't be as bad for your health since the amount of water you're drinking far outweighs the tiny amount of soda you're drinking daily.
2 steps I personally followed to stop drinking soda…
Step 1: Slowly stop drinking soda
Each week you want to drink less & less soda until you stop completely and the best way to do this is to…
Start off the first week drinking 1/4 or a quarter less sodas than you do now - so for example…
If you're drinking 10 sodas now… You would drink 7 sodas the first week… 5 sodas the 2nd week and so on until you're not drinking any sodas at all and by the way…
When I say "sodas"… I'm talking about 20 oz. cans of soda so… If you drink 2 or 3 liters of soda a week - just remember about three 20 oz. cans of soda equal 1 liter of soda.
Use the calculator below to figure out how many sodas you need to drink each week to eventually stop drinking soda completely…
The reason why you don't start off NOT drinking any soda at all is because it's going to be real hard to do so and you may suffer painful caffeine withdrawal headaches and…
Cutting back little by little every week will keep the headaches from coming but eventually… You're going to have to detoxify your body and flush out all the toxins causing your withdrawal headaches.
Step 2: KILL your cravings for soda
When you're to the point where you're only drinking about 3 cans of soda a week you want to start detoxifying your body by…
- Exercising and…
- Drinking more water and…
- Eating lots of raw fruits and veggies and…
- Mainly weight loss foods and…
Eating like this not only flushes the toxins out of your body but it also help kill the sugar cravings you have for soda and other fattening foods and guess what…
That's how I personally stopped drinking soda and this method may not be scientifically tested or researched but it worked wonders for me.

There are so many grammatical errors in this article that I have cancer, now, so I think I'm going to replace this article, with soda, instead of any of that scare tactic bullshit you wrote. Honestly, what are you, twelve? You rival the Truth campaign in retarded scare tactics, you know that? So thank you, for hinting at the fact that, if I don't want to become a moron like you, I should, if anything, drink MORE soda. By the way, I drink soda like a fucking fish drinks water, and I'm 160 pounds, male, and there's very little fat on my body, WHATSOEVER, and I barely work out, so what's your response to that? Wait, never mind, I don't want to hear it. It'd probably be too grammatically fucked up to read.

Your post looks like you didn't even try to really put up any facts. I've lost pounds and pounds just by switching from Coke to Coke Zero. Artificial sweeteners making you more hungry? Well since I'm the one actually drinking it and your just posting things you Googled, who has more of a solid here?
People shouldn't be able to write things like this if the only evidence they have is other peoples say so. Write about things you've actually experienced and went through. This garbage about what things can and can't do is ridiculous.
Who is buying your panic story? I'm watching the weight come off and laughing with a diet soda in my hands.

I quit drinking regular soda in April of 2010. I lost 30 lbs by April of 2011. I stopped drinking soda because my doctor told me it was going to shut my kidneys down. I quit cold turkey. I traded the soda for the yummy goodness of concord graper juice and water, and within 6 weeks I was only drinking water. In June of 2011 I quit smoking cigarettes, cause I thought, if I can quit 1 thing I can quit 2 things. But I gained 20 lbs in 3.5 months from quitting the cigarettes! I couldn't stop eating, I traded the nicotine craving for the dairy & chocolate craving. I started smoking again and lost 15 lbs. I'm going to try to quit smoking again this spring, I hope I can't quit without packing on the pounds. I still haven't had a sip of soda since. If I crave it (twice yearly, it seems) I smell, -rather huff it instead of actually tasting it, since all the other people I know I drink soda. But the really good news is that since I've started drinking water, several family members have traded at least one soda per day to a 16oz bottle of water. And I urge anyone reading this to pay attention to their lower belly & lower back the next time they drink soda... if you feel any discomfort during or within 45mins of ingesting the soda... Stop Drinking Soda! Your Kidneys Can't Take It Anymore!

Just wanting to drop by and say quitting soda was awesome and helped play a part in losing most of my weight in the beginning.
I'll admit the nausea from quitting nearly broke me but damned if I didn't pull through anyway.

i am drinking an excess of 3lt a day!!! i have only had one glass today and already bam headache. i suffer from severe migraines at the best of times :/
December 04, 2012
HI,
Try and quit if you can. It can bring on migraines (I get them) and also heighten anxiety which can bring headaches. I quite cold turkey a few summers ago and lost a stone in 3 weeks. I am back on it but I am buying the small 250 ml cans and when I get the craving having one of them or a zero. Its crazy how addictive it is. Wish I was never given it as a child but hey it was the 80s.

I have recently cut back on my sodas and use Seltzer water with a little real fruit juice or lemon/lime to curb my cravings. All the fizziness helps and it only takes a little juice to flavor it. It has much less sugar than sodas!
June 25, 2012
the info provided about replacing soda with protein shakes and gatorade 0 cal will only work with the proper diet and exercise fit for you. you should notice a difference in how you feel after you detox for about a week.
