Tips To Quit Soda Successfully

Be certain of why you want to quit: You need real strong reason in order to quit soda successfully. Is it due to excess weight gain or any of the other reason given in the introductory aspect of this write-up? Your reason will act as your stimulant to quit. It will act as the required drive to help you get over this unbecoming habit. Each time you want to give up again, your original reason for quitting will keep you going.
Remove all soda drinks from home: One of the best ways to quit soda is to get rid of the ones you already have in the fridge at home. It may look like a waste, but this is one waste you can afford, provided your reason for quitting is important enough to you.
Go for a substitute: Instead of drinking soda, why not switch to something else, like fruit juice, milk or even plain water. Never attempt to substitute soda for coffee; do not forget that both soda and coffee have one thing in common: high caffeine concentration.
Monitor how much soda you take: Keep a tab on the amount of soda you consume and this will help you put your soda consumption in check. Even if you cannot quit soda intake at ones, you can target cutting the amount you consume by certain percentage every day. Consistency will help put an end to addiction to soda.
Make your alternative drink available always: While cutting down your soda intake, make sure your alternative drink is available. While reducing soda intake by certain percentage, replace gradually with the alternative drink and you will be able to completely replace your soda with the alternative drink before long, though with consistent effort.
Sleep adequately: Most people who take caffeinated drink do so because they need something to keep them awake during the day. Why not get adequate sleep during the night so that you will never have to depend on caffeinated drink to keep you awake during the day?
Perseverance is the key: Withdrawal symptoms may set in during the first few weeks of quitting soda. The symptoms get heavier if you were a heavy drinker. If you persist in your decision to quit soda, the withdrawal symptoms will fizzle off.
