Have you ever been super thirsty and you get hold of a chilled canned coke and gulp it up?

That feeling is out of this world.

I take coke a lot but I work out and eat bitter kola to supress the sugar .

lol. For your mind now u don suppress the sugar? Oga reduce your sugar intake abeg no let me vex for u o

CyberHustle:
Try zero calorie sweeteners and be disciplined about it.

Zero calorie sweetners? Haven't heard of them before. Brb

Mod:
Oh, I see, Just skimmed through an article from healthline. It would seem, the good thing about sich types of sugars would be the lack of calories. But, as i read, they should also be taken with caution. They are also sweetners; meaning your dopamine receptors wouldn't tell the difference. In irder words, that still leaves room for addiction. Then, is this a good addiction? It would seem it depends on the type of "natural sweetner" being used. They are after all extracts feom plants and processed like normal sugars. Evwn though they promise zero calories, according to a study referenced by healthline, there is the lingering possibility of diabetes. Not to mention the other side effects when consumed in large proportions at a time.

Thank you for sharpening my mind!

I m addicted to carbonated drinks and it's beginning to sound weird and I can hardly do without taking like 3 a day in every meal I take.

It's like there's a force propelling me to always take carbonated drinks.

Pls how do I get rid of such unhealthy habits?

Easy. Most addiction to carbonated drinks stems from the fact that you might be suffering from chronic dehydration.

Take more electrolytes to replenish lost fluids. The habit will disappear on its own

Decide to stay away from it.

pansophist:
Sodas have a substance in it knows as additive, and that's why you're always taking more because it's like that by design.

Start reducing the amount you drink per day. So go from two, then to one, and drink lots of water in between. Go slowly. That's the way out.

I also noticed that any time I drink coke, I want to drink more, but because I know about how addiction works, I just ignore the urge, drink water and force myself to sleep, then my body reset to normal in day or two. Do the same.

What do you think about sparkling water? I think it's carbonated water, however I take them instead.

Stop the drink before it stopped you

Drink more of water and natural fruit juice

You can easily make fruit juice, it's healthy and better than these carbonated drinks

I nor know where carbonated drinks dey carry me dey go....but the sweet feelings I get whilst drinking it is heavenly sha

@ bolded, you are a very funny human being

Na the high sugar content be the main wahala for those drinks. E sure me die say you get pot belly..

Just switch to Diet Coke first and then little by little you will see yourself stopping completely and switching to water when Diet Coke stops you from sleeping at night because of all the caffeine it contains.

Plus Diet Coke get very nasty after taste wey nor fit carry you go where you nor know

If u cant control it, try and take /chew bitter kola regularly to diffuse the effect.

Same for alcohol. Make bitter kola ur daily companion.

Dont thank me.

if you love yourself, before anything else, go for sugar level, diabetes and blood pressure tests... if you love yourself.

3 soft drinks per day?! WTF!!!

That’s not what causes diabetes jor

This one is not that bad. It’s better than drinking sugar. Some people say the carbon is not good but it’s not confirmed scientifically

it's the sugar, your dopamine is beginning to take a heat, start by substituting with zero sugar then water. You'll be fine. Also avoid any other sugar induced meal or snacks, I see you gon like dem too much, like my baby, she too like junks, I wan begin replace dem with healthy options like crunchy coconut chips, cashew nut & the rest.

Hey,be nice

You better stay off it now you can or else you will become a regular customer of UBTH. I have a close family friend suffering from acute diabetes due to his love for Pepsi years ago. Whatever this man eats Pepsi must be by the side. Oil rice o, Banga soup, Egusi soup, stew rice, pepper soup and yam or whatever you must see chilled Pepsi by the side.

I remember a few years the woman he usually buys Pepsi from will joking tell him to cut down the way he takes Pepsi, I wish he listened back then. It's so sad today he looks like a shadow of himself a man that's huge with that big man's looks looking like a walking corpse very slim and dry. As I am typing this I feel like crying because we are that close.

Run away from it else you will be a walking corpse and may end with an amputated body.

Today alone I had the urge,but I substituted it with water,recite psalms 23 as backup

If you like take 10 per day, who no go get diabetes, no go get.

Since we don't know if you're amongst those who can't suffer from diabetes, I will advise you learn ways to burn the sugar.

Billionaire, Warren Buffet Drinks about 5 Bottles of Coke a Day, and he is currently 91 years,
some say he has been a fan of coca-cola for
40 years now, before he was a Coke fan, he was
a pepsi fan.

Truly, some people can't get diabetes, but i think
he just has special genes.

I have battled this too but when I'm spending more time at home, I hardly see it to drink. It's easy to avoid when I'm at home.

Thought it would reduce my weight when I stopped eating certain things. Well, there's a difference, but not much.

You're lucky if you have kids, take soft drinks and still have a nice figure. I'll call you super woman.
