If the guy can't remember the last time he drank water, it sounds like he's depriving himself of fluids that we "kindof" need.

I can't believe no one out of 20 posts have suggested to drink diet soda in place of regular soda. You may not of realized it but there is roughly 1/8 of 1 pound of sugar in 1 can of soda and about 150 calories. That's just 1 soda can and if you say you drink 2-4 a day on average. If you stop drinking the soda you will lose weight.

I know because I used to drink at least a few cans of soda a day for maybe 5 years, until February of this year. In just these 3 months I have lost 15 pounds and best of all, I don't have any desire to drink it again! I took a sip of Coke to taste it a few weeks ago and honestly it tasted like syrup, it was so gross. Now after these 3 months of drinking diet soda the taste has grown on me and I like it.

I used to be like you. One day, I tried drinking juice. It tasted nice and I stuck to it. =]

just drink as much water as you can get. I drink most of my water in school honestly. I wake up and bring about 3 bottles of it with me, i drink about 2 of them inbetween classes and one at lunch, and then i get home and really don't drink much, and if i do i just grab another water, and sometimes the occasional soda.

It depends on what you like about soda.

If you like the bubbling, drink seltzer then go to water.

If you like the taste, eat the soda flavored candy, chew gum, something to keep your mind off soda.

Dont you get tired of soda? I used to drink like a can every day. Coke started tasting bland after a week. So i switched to 7-up. Got boring. I would suggest gatorade or vitamin water. Tell your mom not to buy anymore soda.

hmm, why not try soda candy? it works something like nicotine patches...

or you could always keep urself busy doing something, then you wouldnt think of drinking soda.

or if you're really desperate, stay far from anything soda-ish. VERY FAR. I bet that'll work.

well, buy yourself a bottle of mineral water so you can carry it with you wherever you go.
When you feel thirsty, it'll come in handy and it takes some discipline as well to refrain from drinking soda.
