Right now I drink 2-4 coke zeros per day, which is better than my former habit of a couple cokes a day, which was better than the even earlier habit of a couple of Rockstars per day.
What do you drink?
Just looking for some (hopefully healthier) ideas.
If you're looking to kick the soda, I'd suggest switching over to something else other only water initially since I can almost guarantee you'll get sick of it having no flavor (maybe orange juice, apple juice, or tea).
1-2 cups of coffee in the morning.
2-3 cups of Lipton green tea throughout the day.
1 litre of bottled carbonated mineral water at home in the evening.
1 glass of red wine with supper.
I also drink the odd cup/glass of tap water here and there.
Edit: I also never drink soda.
With meals I usually have a Isopure zero carb drink, which tastes great and lets me load up on protein without all the fat or carbs.
I had stopped caffeine completely, but now that I'm off the caffeine wagon again, once a week (usually Friday) I'll load up on 2 or 3 cups of strong tea -- either Earl Grey or Chai, with cream and Splenda.
And then Friday evening it's usually a couple glasses of wine with supper as an extra treat.
Then back to water again. Repeat and rinse.
Its good, healthy and easy. A small spoon of it in my water bottle, a good shake and its done. Its good hot too.
As an aside, my wife noticed how my fingernails started growing faster after my green tea habit - really! ;) It prompted a google search several months back and indeed, it does help with nail growth among its many other healthy benefits.
Water the rest of the time.
I occasionally drink orange juice, when eating chocolate or when having a hot breakfast like grits and eggs.
About once every two or three weeks, I'll have a Pepsi when eating pizza.
What I've found helps me avoid the temptation is really good green tea -- I keep a tin of it on my desk at all times. It's ultra-natural, both in how it feels/tastes and in reality; it's got a bit of caffeine, but nothing that'll end in a crash; and it tastes good whether it's hot or cold!
