finally kicked my cock habit

[JAXvillain]

I was a slave to the stuff...really bad habit for most of my life
for the last 5 years, I've been doing it 3-4 times daily at cnn

of course I'm talking about the drink...I was literally drinking 3-4 32oz cokes a day and over the past few weeks I've broken myself of the habit as part of an effort to get myself into better shape

I've switched to water and lemonade and allow myself 1 coke at most per day if I even have any at all

next on the chopping block is smoking

anyone here quit anything bad lately or started working out?

 

[my little brony]

yeah, as much as I love coke I decided a while ago to really cut back. I do drink it once in a while because I remember doing those experiments in high school with the chicken bone and the rusty nail

I drink Coca-Cola because it prevents me from rusting.

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

Ugh, I couldnt drink that much sodapop.
I drink water all day at work, and at home. Unless I have beer.

 

[Pandora]

Use to drink soft drinks all the time in college. Quit the habit shortly after graduating tho. Now I rarely drink the stuff, tho I seem to have picked up a dependence on coffee.

Go easy on the lemonade dude - it's apparently just as bad as coke

 

[Sarcasmo]

How is someone who consumes 600 grams of sugar a day via soda alone not grotesquely obese and/or diabetic? Jesus.

 

[Onnotangu]

I over eat. but I only eat once a day. i gotta stop.

 

[wanko80]

I used to drink too much Dr Pepper, or any other soda. I like the taste and get sick of water sometimes, but I aslo hate diet drinks. I can always taste the artificial sweetener and I hate it. I occasionally partake in a fountain drink at restaurants, but try to limit that.

So good luck to you.

just lucky I guess...I don't really eat any sweet stuff at all, so all the sugar I ever get is from coke

serios? I only have 1 or 2 lemonades...and it's the chickfila lemonade made with real lemons, not some powder mix crap

I just started working out this week. Wish me luck!

Still has lots of sugar in it tho.

Sugar is added

I stopped drinking pop about 7 years back and now when I do have some, I have to drink it in small amounts cause the carbonation is way to much for me. I can't drink Sprite or 7up straight, it has to be diluted with some other kind of drink (no, not alcohol, usually a fruit juice of some sort).

I haven't really kicked any habits in the recent past. I am going to try and start working out after I heal from having this kid, but I need to find something I remotely enjoy doing for that to happen.

 

[JAXvillain]

hmm, figured it had some sugar in it but hadn't really contemplated how much...I don't drink it everyday either though...guess it'll only be one per day on the lemonade too if I do have any

 

[my little brony]

if it's real sugar in the lemonade then it's not that big of a deal. it's the artificial stuff you need to worry about

can I squeeze ur lemonz

 

[Coqui]

What do you mean? Sucrose is sucrose. Natural sugar is just as bad for you as artificial sugar (or are you talking about aspartane, and all those fake sugars?)

 

[JAXvillain]

HOLY SHIT...the lemonade at chickfila is worse for you than the fucking coke!!! WTF!!

exactly. artificial sweeteners are far worse for you than actual sugars. your brain interprets the sweetness and your body immediately starts reacting as if it's expecting an influx of sugar and carbs. when it doesn't get what it's expecting things get thrown out of whack

I'm certainly no expert on the subject so I can't possibly remember what the actual series of chemical reactions are that take place but the few personal trainers and certified nutritionists that have brought this up all say the same thing: if you're going to continue drinking soda drink stay away from anything labeled "diet" because those are worse for you and will keep the weight on longer than the regular stuff.

edit: also, sugar isn't bad for you. the human body requires it but the problem is that people tend to overindulge. too little is just as unhealthy as too much so learning what your body needs and taking in the right amount of everything is far better than simply trying to avoid sugar completely. moderation is key
