1 year since having any pop! not even a sip!


Recommended Posts

Congrats, that's awesome. I can't really say what my longest is without any soda, because I've never had an issue with it, so therefore I've never really had to regulate it. I grew up being allowed to have one soda a day, and no more. That stuck with me as an adult and if I ever do have a soda, it's the only I have that day, though I frequently go without. I'm not a huge soda person, but sometimes the sugar and caffeine help give a little boost when needed.

Yeah, see I think this is how it should be. Like ice cream or any other thing laden with sugar/fake sweeteners, it should just be an occasional treat. As I mentioned before, I don't like them anymore, but when I originally stopped drinking them I was thinking that once the "habit" was stopped, that's how I'd treat them, just have one now and then. But yeah, now I don't want any at all--with the exception of this nice all-natural ginger ale I found. It's got the real spicy ginger in it and sweetened with honey, it's nice and none of the chemical taste.

The trick to getting off sweets is not willpower. Our bodies are wired to love sweets and fatty things; we are naturally addicted to them. The secret to lowering your consumption of grease and simple sugar is training yourself to like other, "bland tasting" things. Once you begin appreciating the taste of less sugary foods like whole wheat cereals with no added sugar, or wheat bread, you feel less dependence on sugars to sate your hunger for energy.

Once you start consuming fewer sugars, things begin to taste sweeter to you. That yogurt you thought was bland? Way too sweet to eat in excess. Ice cream? One scoop is enough.

Soda has no nutritional value whatsoever, and the high fructose corn syrup in it is worse for your liver than ethanol. I brew rootbeer once or twice a year, but that's basically my whole consumption of it.

its impossible to lose weight if you regularly drink soda and want to lose weight.

it really isnt that hard to give up, and when you do drink it, just ask yourself if its really worth the calories.

Diet is 0 calories, actually 0 everything in most, maybe some slight sodium...

I had stomach problems as well, and have quit drinking soda's. I am only drinking Orange Juice in the morning, water during the day.. Although I can NOT stand the taste of plain water so I use Propel Zero flavor packs.. They have Vitamins and such in them.. and then I drink sweet tea once I get home.

Not to be judgmental, but how does having the flu warrant drinking pop?

I generally drink 1 Coca-Cola a day. The rest of the time I drink Tea or Ice water. I Love the taste of Coca-Cola however, with all the chemicals and whatnot I just cannot see how it can be good for you.

I don't think you talk about soda. Soda got zero calories.

It's just carbonated water :huh:

You're thinking of seltzer or 'soda water'. Soda is any carbonated flavored soft drink.

And they really do stop you from losing weight, it's essentially liquid candy.

Soda Water yes ... but Soda can mean anything carbonated that doesn't contain alchohol.

I got my self one of these to help me cut down and it had helped a lot it's good in Winter just fill it up with water add something for flavour and in summer just pack it with ice and fill the rest with water and maybe something to flavour it.

I quit drinking dark pop and most fast food (I eat subway, and Harveys, but no McDonalds, Wendeys, BK, A&W, etc), a year and a half ago. I still drink Gingerale but recently started going to the health food store to buy Kombacha, and noticed they had some Sodium Free all natural pop so I have been getting that instead of the standard Ginger ale Brand.

Im a huge coca cola addict - I have at least one a day, usually when I get into work. I would really like to eliminate Coke and beer from my daily routine, just have them occasionally but I don't ever seem to manage it.

I never was a big pop fan. I drink coffee.

And it's called pop where I live too. Never heard of any other name for it other than pop. (soda pop)

I'm not positive, but I'm sure "cola" is just one type of pop, as in "Coca Cola", therefor isn't a different name for what we call pop.

7-Up, Rootbeer, Sprite, Orange Pop, are pop, not cola. Cola is cola. But I could be wrong.

I guess the real term would probably be carbonated beverage.

    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
