Perrier in glass bottles did wonders for me.
Buy a case or two, always keep some in the fridge.
So cold turkey exactly as >>17123143 said.
Whenever you’re wanting a soda, crack open an ice cold Perrier and chug that shit for a few seconds and then sip the rest.
You still get the cold carbonation but you’ll quickly notice you actually feel more refreshed than when you did the same with soda.

Now on the very rare occasion I have a soda, it feels like drinking a liquified candy bar (which is basically what it is) and I can’t believe I ever drank it on a regular basis.

What you will need is
>a pitcher with a wide rim
>3 cans of carbonated water

>2 limes
Squeeze lemons and limes into pitcher
Add ice if you want
Pour carbonated water over the top, and stir.
Voila, no-sugar lemon lime soda. Much healthier than the high fructose corn syrup alternative.

Stop buying it. Replace it with sparkling water if you crave the fizz. Then grow a spine for the 2-3 weeks it takes your body to grow accustomed to the daily pound of liquid sugar being a thing of the past. It actually IS that simple.

it's not the sugar, shockingly enough, that makes it hard to drop soda.

it's the caffeine. I can get my sugar fix easily enough, but the fact that I hate the taste of coffee makes it a mountain of a task to stop drinking soda.

switching from soda to ANYTHING ELSE that has no coffee, even if it's a sugary alternative is the real challenge. switching from that to icy water is the easiest thing ever.

That's funny, I never drink soda or eat basically any candy or anything with sugar.

Stop drinking soda chilled. If you drink it at room temp you'll start to realize just how insanely sweet it is and it'll make it easier to cut down on the amount you drink. After that just make a conscious effort to drink water any time you feel the craving, eventually you won't crave it anymore.

You clearly dont go grocery shopping if you don't know how cheap soda is.
>lmao why would i know how much soda costs im not a fatty
Because there's a big ass sign right inside every grocery store I've ever seen telling you the soda is something like three cases for ten dollars or something along those lines. So either you're blind and have never seen these signs, or actually retarded, or you go into a grocery store once every two months. In fact, I think you're larping about living with your parents and you're just some faggot waiting for mommy to pick up tendies. There's no way a normal person doesn't realize how piss cheap soda is. It's like not knowing gas or milk prices in your area.

Yup, inside is some sort of scented cotton. In the straw you got a lil hole out of which you suck in the smell of a fruit or whatever from inside the ring.
It does taste like some juice minus sweet, bitter.. anything your tongue does is lacking of course. And if you don't breath while drinking its also just water.

Do you find them to be cost-effective? If the pods only last about a half gallon each, it's roughly $8 (plus international shipping costs) per 1.5 gallons. That doesn't sound too great?

Cola & Coffee is insanely smelly and lasting forever, not at the same intensity as the first 5L = 1,32 gallons (what they say how long they last per pod) but still enough to think you aren't drinking water for 2-3 weeks (probably 8 gallons for me). And a 6€/8$ pack contains 3 of these pods lasting 4 gallons intense flavor total.
Actually I did never calculate if its worth it over soda, I still drink plenty of soda. But water tastes shit and now it feels like I never have to drink it. Its worth it for the gimmick.

I used to drink as much as a two liter a day, along side candy and cake and shit

i am 3 days into keto and LaCroix has been a godsend, i have a black coldbrew coffee or a fresh brewed black tea when i get up in the morning, and a maximum of four cans of Lacroix a day, one every 2 hours staring at 8, it's not the soda that I crave, it's the variety of flavor,
Next week I'm going to make a picture of lemon lime cucumber water to help get some more flavor variety

My stop was out of necessity though, I'm the heaviest I've ever been and my compulsive eating and drinking is going to be the death of me if I didn't get it in control
