What's the longest you've gone without drinking soda?
 

Skipping flavored/sugar added drinks is probably one of the fastest ways to lose weight. How long have you gone without soda/sugar beverages?

maybe a year [soda].. .

havent had any soda since i was about 18 im now 24

I've been drinking mainly water for a month. I also eat a lot healthier and just because of that I already lost around 5 kg (11 pounds) in such a short time.

About a week or so.

I'd say 3-4 weeks at most.

drink what you want, fuck the haterz!

I only drink water, except Friday & Saturday Night

i quit drinking soda in october of 2006 and have only had one since then because i was extremely thristy and only had 65 cents on me and that was all i could get from the hodgy store. god that soda was good. I dont drink anything with high fructose corn syrup either.
they say drugs are hard to quit. soda is worse. its in every damn store you go to. I have trouble looking at a pepsi without tasting it in my mouth. Now try to find a drink in any quicky mart without high fructose corn syrup. virtually impossible. I dont do energy drinks either.

Four months. Was drinking juice then. Now drinking diet.

Dude, Im glad you made the link between food and addiction. I am convinced that much of the world's obesity problems is due to salt/sugar/fat addiction fostered by modern food processing techniques.

since I was 15.

I never drink soda

QFT!!! the best tasting foods contain all 3...can you say mickey d'ssss.

I would agree that there is some addiction. There also is just the fucking basic factors built into our genetics. Like it or not we have the 4 (5) tastes that we do for a reason. Another good reason why for the most part we do not care for 1 of them until much older in life (bitter).

You already know yourself from your own culture. Many dishes hit all of the tastes in perfect chords often. See much addiction?

Now empty calories, HFCS, and then hiding the required sodium content in food with even more sugar and flavors. Sodium is just present so that it lasts longer and makes it cheaper to make.

Realistically anyone unless they have a serious issue should be able to eat all of the sugar, fat, protein, cholesterol, salt, you name it, that they want. Assuming they are preparing it themselves and not requiring some company to process the fuck out of it. Often a simple healthy "style" microwave dinner, has more salt in it than what the average person cooking would ever add to several dishes in a day or longer. Though you really can not taste it that much.

Leave the MD out of it, :1orglaugh there is so much standard in your face crap that makes MD seem like health food.
If anything MD should switch back to frying their fries in beef tallow - fuck the haters and honestly/statistically/scientifically real fat is better for you than the artificial fats. Hell as a double funny they made the fake fats to try to make regular fat less healthy, what they created was trans fats. Go figure. Now they are changing trans fats with new improved man made fats to remove the shit that was never in real fat.

soda replaces beer 4 me

About a month,it's the beer that's the problem for me

I've never liked soda, it's the beer that kills me... There's really nothing I can stand to replace it with.

about a month i think. I always go back but it's pretty rare to go more than a month w/o at least A soda

not that i have weight problem, but i forgot when was the last time i had one.. maybe once in a blue moon I get a can, consider it totally useless crap tbh.

I don't drink soda at all, only pure water, black tea or juice sometimes :)

Guess I'm the only soda drinking addict in this thread. I can not go with out a soda for too long. Matter of fact a nice tall glass of Coke Zero sounds good right about now!

I've found myself drinking a lot of water and crystal light lately. I have the occasional POP/SODA once a week maybe.

A couple years..Soda is bad for you mmkay.
