Me, Myself & I... Lower carb, fasting, real live foods

[Mis-behave]

My biggest goal for 2013 is to cut diet coke out of my life!!

My next biggest goal is to reduce the amount of sugar I eat, if I need to add sweet to things go for natural nature made items, honey, maple syrup, and fruit based low GI sweeteners. Or even better just don't eat items with sugar and sugar style ingredients in them!!

I only buy the 150ml cans, but drink between 1-4 daily and more some times. Am putting myself on a withdrawal program lol once what I have in the house is finished, not buying any more.. That's the plan, longest I went without last time was 3 -4 mths

My hubby does it about 3 times a year & he physically shakes but he has about 2 litres of pepsi max a day - horrendous I know!!!

I have managed to cut down to a small glass of Pepsi max a couple of times a week, but couldn't imagine not having it hehe

I don't think I have two small bottles /cans in a year. I'd rather have a bottle if cold water

Tara is it wise to stop diet come at the same time as your tablets? I know it's different but the withdrawal symptoms can be pretty naff and if you're having 2 different withdrawals at the same time you're going to feel crap

Thanks i do understand what you mean, but I feel really crap anyway., but my head is getting clearer and less cloudy - so the days that I can avoid diet coke I will - because at the moment I usual have some every day, this I want to stop and if I can change it to every other day - great!.. But I'm going to do it slowly - not cold turkey .. I know that when I drink diet coke I drink less water and that's not good for me..

Also the glutemine tablets are ment to help with cravings

If I really really want/ have to have a diet coke I will, maybe in the end I just have it at the weekend and then just on social occasions - I'm hoping that once I stop drinking so much of it that I loose the taste for it I'm hoping so lol
