I’ve realised that I’m a little too fond of fizzy drinks. It’s not a severe addiction to the point of downing gallons, but I am drinking a 330ml can of Pepsi Max almost every day. Sometimes a little more.
Drink fizzy water instead.
Whenever I see this “opinion” I think of how out of whack the person’s taste buds must be. Fizzy waters are great, they just don’t have sugar.
replace with fizzy water
tbh i don’t think a single can in a day is all that much if your diet is otherwise reasonable and balanced.
do you think it’s the bubbles or the 40-some mg of caffeine that gets you grabbing one every day?
Also, Pepsi Max is a zero calorie drink, so 1 a day is hardly a lot. Three artificial sweeteners aren’t the best for you, but OP shouldn’t feel like they are ruining their health on that.
To this point, for me, it was all about the bubbles. So replacing with a seltzer water did wonders. Sometimes I still have a craving to pound bubbles real quick.
Swap to a 0 calorie version and just keep enjoying it? Fizzy drinks are a pretty harmless vice in the grand scheme of things. Hollow calories, so if you can replace it with a 0 calorie version, it would at least stop affecting your weight.
I know everyone is against artificial sweeteners. They won’t kill you faster than microplastics, pollution, break pad dust, war, alcohol, smoking,…
Enjoy life! Enjoy a fizzy drink! I thoroughly enjoy my daily coke zero can.
Club soda or seltzer is a good start, if you want the fizz but not the sugar/flavor. If it’s the taste you like, try the syrup they make for fizzy water.
I kicked mine by winning a weight loss bet with a friend. Depression and anxiety caused the weight to come back, but I still haven’t had a soda in three years.
