I pretty much cut out all commercial pops/sodas completely, except for the odd 2L coke or pepsi that comes free with certain pizza or chicken delivery orders. Other than that I now always make my own bubbly drinks using sparkling spring water (or low sodium soda water) bought in 2L bottles, and mix it with juice from frozen concentrate. I thaw out the juice and instead of using regular water I mix it with the soda water.
Makes a hell of a nice vodka or rum drink too.
Diet, well that's easy.... a nice combo of whole grain cereals in the morning, 1% milk, coffee (sometimes, sometimes not), and during the day I eat some fruit, often some raw veggies or a lean meat sandwich with lettuce on whole grain bread, and a sensible dinner with lots of steamed veggies and not a lot of oils or added fat of any kind.
Keeps me pooping like a trooper.
