How are your guts not rotting out? If I drink even 1 diet soda my stomach feels like crap

>>19986857
Fatass.

>>19986867
>zero sugar

>>19986857
just don't buy it.

>>19986869
No he's right. The people that drink the sugar free do it because they got fat drinking the normal stuff. Post wrists op

Switch to snacks and energy drinks for cravings, and take ice water with meals. Soda gets you by combining the caffeine and the sweetness appeal, so that when you get a craving for either one, you go for the stuff. You separate that out by determining if you need caffeine or something sweet, and then you can start working on resisting it.

Ice water isn't sweet or caffeinated, but it's cold and refreshing, so take that with your meals instead. In the same boat as you, and I've been out of soda for 2 weeks, and not in much of a rush to get any more.

don't drink it? there is nothing addictive in a coke zero. get over it.

>>19986899
where the fuck do you live? it's $4/case here (GA) and they frequently do buy 3 get 1 free

just stop nigga it's not that hard

Oh, that is all that is in it? Okay.

Just drink water. It's that simple.

>>19986857
Wean yourself off of it like I did. I'm down to one can of sprite a day and some days I don't even want it. I drink purified water, milk or tea instead.

try a sodastream. I found when quitting soda that, while you will have caffeine withdrawals for a bit, it was more so the carbonation that I was attached to. whenever you feel like a coke, have a fizzy water instead.

>>19986857
Get an ice machine and a good water filter and a dedicated water glass

>>19986893
No you're thinking diet coke. The zero sugar is for alcoholics.

>>19986857
Next step is cold la croix.
Next step after that is ready to drink cold tea. Or make a pitcher of iced tea each night in a big glass pyrex in the microwave, decant to pitcher or slap the lid on it, ice cold by morning. Mint tea bag or orange n spice added to the pot for variety. Switch it up to green jasmine occasionally. Consider frozen drinks in the blender if that doesn't do it.

>288oz
even if that was water, it would still be bad for you.

>>19987014
Many diet sodas are highly acidic. In any case, OP said 2 cases, not 2 cans. Assuming he wasn't exaggerating that means 8.5 litres of coke, or roughly 287 ounces, not 12.

>>19987282
>No you're thinking diet coke. The zero sugar is for alcoholics.
I'm an alcoholic and I prefer the zero caffeine with sugar. I don't like sodas with a meth-like ingredient in them.
I mean, would anyone actually drink 7up if it was cut with caffeine? Has a clear pepsi drink ever succeeded?

>>19986857
To stop drinking soda, consider these tips:

1. **Gradual Reduction:** Cut back gradually to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Start by decreasing your daily intake or replacing one soda with water or a healthier alternative.

2. **Stay Hydrated:** Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated. Carry a reusable water bottle for easy access.

3. **Find Alternatives:** Explore alternatives like herbal tea, infused water, or sparkling water with a splash of fruit juice for a fizzy fix.

4. **Understand Triggers:** Identify situations or emotions that trigger your soda consumption. Find healthier ways to cope with stress or boredom.

5. **Choose Healthier Options:** Opt for beverages with less sugar or artificial sweeteners, and gradually shift to options like unsweetened tea or black coffee.

6. **Read Labels:** Be mindful of the ingredients in the beverages you consume, and choose options with fewer additives and lower sugar content.

7. **Reward Yourself:** Celebrate milestones with non-food rewards for successfully reducing or eliminating soda from your routine.

8. **Seek Support:** Share your goal with friends or family, and ask for support. Having someone to encourage you can make the process easier.

Remember, making sustainable changes takes time, so be patient with yourself as you work toward reducing or eliminating soda from your diet.

Is sugar really more addictive than caffeine?
I mean, I suppose if you think about it, you can die if you don't have any sugar for too long, but caffeine is an unnatural drug that isn't needed at all by the human body. Why is sugar the problem?

>>19987049
>tap water
enjoy your lowered iq

>>19988676
Sugar isn’t biologically addictive.
It’s just a lack of self discipline that’s the issue.

>>19986857
>how do i quit this shit?
like I did. cold turkey. if you were horking down more than 2 cans a day you might get headaches. they will go away after a few days.

>>19986867
its zero calories

>>19988806
Did this too. I didn't realize how fucked up I was until I did.
Recovery took me nearly two weeks.

>>19986903
NTA but I’m in Mississippi and they’ve hit $9 a 12 pack here, too. Best deal on them is buy 2 get 1 free. Even though the price has doubled since around 2020 their bottom line is probably fine because SNAP will pay for it and upper income Americans will keep buying. It’s people in the middle getting squeezed out.

>>19986857
I just had to quit drinking after a serious health problem, and these have been getting me by. Two weeks no alcohol and I hope the jaundice and sleep problems will sort themselves out. Once my brain starts functioning again I'm sure I'll have to quit the coke zero, but I'll cross that road when I come to it.

>>19986857
I started drinking electrolytes in the summer instead of coke and it helped a lot.

>>19986857
so what? it hasnt got any sugar or calories so youre fine

>>19986857
I worked with 2 people who devloped an allergy to aspartame after guzzling cold 2 liters all day at work. Contact with their mouth, tongue, throat created blisters the whole GI tract. I used to taste test fountain drinks if I brought in lunches.

The only bad luck or odds of it happening to both of them is downing a couple bottles a day. I always remember this as pushing yourself past the point of no return when I have a couple of diet sodas in a row at home, now, years later. Do I want to push myself to the point of no more diet soda, ever??? Hell no. Drink real sugar, only occasionally, or go with unsweet tea when you're overindulging.

>>19988941
I was put on acampro and it set my brain straight way faster after stopping aclohol, the medicine is designed to make alcoholic brains function more normally. Might be something to consider mentioning to a doctor..

>>19986857
you consume 2 cases of aspartame soda? how the hell haven't you died of brain damage yet?

>>19988809
>>19986869
aspartame is even worse than calories you absolute fucking idiots. seriously do some fucking research

Oh good, this thread filled up with the weird nutrition schizos who get all their information from manfluencers and the Joe Rogan show. Aspartame is safe, you weirdos.

inb4 some accuses me of being a shill

>>19989074

>>19986890
this but unironically

>>19989074
>aspartame is even worse than calories you absolute fucking idiots. seriously do some fucking research
You mean the research where they gave rats the equivalent of 100 litres of diet soda a day worth of aspartame and we're surprised there were complications?

>>19986857
>>19987238
This. And a water filter too.
I wasn't quite as bad as OP but now I'm fucking hooked on sparkling water.

>>19986857
Eat fruit whenever you crave something sweet instead. The sugar, fiber and water in fruit is so much better than the artificial sweetener shit. You crave more because your body isn't made to digest aspartame and other chemicals like it is made to digest fructose.

>>19989074
>it's a like a calorie but worse!!!1! do research!!

are you 10 years old?

>>19986857

As in 24 cans? That's fucked up

>>19989097
lemme guess, the world is round and ufos aren't real? i've seen enough tiktoks to know weve been lied to for centaurys. the ufos are coming from beyond the ice wall and i think it has something to do with all the giants weve been seeing lately.

>i trust megacorporations who make insanely unhealthy stuff to put my health first and make a completely healthy option

>>19986857
>2 cases a day

>>19989612
Especially in the age of highest government corruption where the FDA can be easily paid off to look the other way. Yea bro just trust them.

op here whoever mentioned la croix is definitely making it easier to quit

>>19989639
so do you follow this logic to its natural conclusion by exclusively sourcing your own natural water and growing your own plants and animals for consumption? because anything less would be exposing yourself to the oversight of such bad actors.

>>19989725
Yes. And if I'm in a position where I'm not able to do that, I'll source the next best solution. It's about harm reduction.
This fucking retarded logic that because everything is slightly bad for you, you may as well eat highly unhealthy niggercattle feed is the most midwit platitude I see from oversocialized normalfaggots on this board.

>>19986857
ur just like my dad, he says zero is the only good coke. i cant tell the difference lol

>>19987011
my brothers wife has no job and drinks or did drink 4 litres of soda a day.

>>19989097
>Aspartame is safe
so was thalidomide.

>>19989774
>this fucking retarded strawman is fucking retarded
yeah no shit
the point isn't that you should just eat whatever garbage you want whenever you want it; the point is that it's retarded to avoid certain foods like the plague just because it's "niggercattle feed" when everything that's government stamped essentially already is. there's nothing wrong with having a coke or coke zero once or twice a week; if you're straight up addicted to it like OP then yes you have a problem but that applies to just about anything that you can overindulge in.

>>19989796
So was the vax

>>19986857
Don't. You deserve to drink as much as you want.

>>19989804

>>19989810
nuh uh

>>19989725
I do all that retard

>>19989799
Are you saying government recalls never happened?

>>19989850
are you illiterate or what?

>>19989799
>>strawman
>it's retarded to avoid poison because I only eat gov't-approved poison
It's not a strawman anymore, anon. Keep buying your feed from Wally World, that mystery meat ground "beef" will surely do wonders for your health.
I'm going to dread having to eat people like you in the upcoming cataclysm. I'd just as well get radiation poisoning and die.

>>19989854
Your logic is retarded. Just trust the government bro if you aren't self sustaining which I am by the way so what now whataboutism using faggot?

>>19986857
Here's what worked for me: Get seltzer water. Mix the seltzer and coke (1 part seltzer: 3 parts coke). Drink as normal until you no longer notice the difference, then mix half and half. Repeat this process until your just drinking seltzer. After that do seltzer and water (1 part water: 3 parts seltzer) and so on. Eventually your going to want to work your way down until to just water, milk, coffee and tea. Drinking anything with sugar is basically poison.

>>19986857
Switch to energy drinks. They're more expensive and worse for your health.

>>19988789
Sugar is biologically addictive. You’re just addicted to having gay sex because you lack self control

>>19986857
2 cases a day is 8.5 litres . Don't you drink any water????

>>19990256
Soda is like 99% water

>>19990264
No it isn't

>>19990264
>it's only 1% fecal matter
classic streetshitter cope

The math says you're drinking a little over 800mg of caffeine a day. Not going to kill you, but will definitely give you a 2 day headache when you stop. Buy caffeine pills and wean yourself off to avoid the headache.
I'd suggest weaning off the soda itself, because it would be pretty granular at 34mg per can, but the intense sweet/sourness won't give you a headache when you stop and you should probably stop that sooner, for the sake of your palate/microbiome.
>implying someone like this still has tastebuds or a gut lining

>>19990267
Fine its only 95%

>>19986857

>>19990417
>citations are wikipedia and the atlantic

Lmao

>>19986857
Wait.. you are saying you drink 24 sodas a day???

>>19989074
>aspartame will give you cancer
everytime people say this, I tell them that i drink diet soda with aspartame and i put equal in my coffee and i don't have cancer. to which people usually reply:
>well it will eventually
to which i respond, how many cans of soda do i have to drink
to get cancer... ill just drink one less than that.
>>19989560
I've been drinking diet soda for more than 20 years, i don't have cancer. no one i know has gotten cancer from drinking aspartame. When will this supposed evil sweetener do the evil stuff? two more weeks?

>>19990417

I haven't told my main doctor about my alcohol abuse because I'm worried she'll take me off of my Adderall. Its the only thing getting me out of bed right now. I had severe liver and kidney issues and my blood proteins were like 100x normal, I couldn't even walk, but once they gave me fluids I felt better and just ripped out my IV and walked out to detox at home. The black nurses were rude as fuck and were just gonna let me sit there with DTs and no anxiety meds at all, so fuck em.

>>19987014
This shit will destroy your gut biome

>>19990699
If you were cognizant enough to know where you were and what you did, those weren't DTs. You were just agitated. Mainly because of alcohol abuse depleting your precious fluids and electric lights. I'd be pissed too.

>>19989074
All the face lord dorks saying this like the wear your mask people and my gut leads me to believe aspartame is the best soda right up there with real cane sugar soda. Do not listen to dork science trust your gut. Diet Coke soda is delicious for a reason.

It's not the cola that's acidic you absolute retards. It's the carbonated water. Carbonation of water is done with carbon dioxide and some of that CO2 turns into carbonic acid, which raises the acidity level.

>>19988668
now ask it how to kill yourself dumb ai cunt

>>19991080
Raise the acidity level of deze nuts

>>19986857
>>19986890
This. I recently found out I have pre gout and quit soda instantly. I just drink green tea and kombucha (tastes kind of like soda) You will also need to replenish your gut bacteria from all the damage you did ingesting harmful cancer causing artificial sweeteners.

>>19988668
Honestly posts like this should be worthy of a ban. しね retard.

>>19986857
1. Set a goal to not have any cans for just three days.
2. Follow through.
3. Realize you feel better without it, while also admitting that it tastes nice.
4. Don't buy it again.

>>19990692
then what do i take advice from

>>19990707
my gut biome is not doing me any favors right now (h. pylori) maybe I should give coke a try lol

>>19990661
No. Walmart has them cheaper as a daily normal price but they’re still over $7 a 12 pack. Best price is to wait for the stores that charge over $9 to have a “buy 2 get 1 free” promotion.

>>19986857
two cases at 35mg of caffeine per case is 840mg of caffeine a day

>>19986857
You drink 24 sodas (228 fl oz, 2.25 gallons) of soda per day?

>>19986857
neck ys bc you have no taste. not only have you become addicted to coca cola, which has the flavor profile of vanilla, raisins, and gasoline, but the aspartame sweetened variety as well. i would have judged you for the hfcs standard version, that has a corny weird aftertaste afterall. but aspartame? it tastes like drinking actual gasoline and bleach. do you actually have tastebuds?

>>19988668
why do people treat quitting soda and other shit like a religion? its like a monk deprivation thing for people i swear. just go to church. i liked you people better when you were telling everyone to stop layin drunk in the gutter, stop gamblin, etc. now i gotta listen to how long its been since you drank soda, how far you biked, how many vitamins you take, how many damn cold baths you took, or whatever bullshit youre onto nowadays. do what you like in moderation. i have pepsi/mtn dew real sugar maybe 2-3 times a month. sometimes, 2-3 times a week. just depends on how i feel and what i get at the store. im 67kg and have great muscle definition, cardio, etc since i work out
