Gotta have a plan. Thanks for all the advice and encouragement about kicking the diet dew habit. I am going to take the next few weeks and slowly ween myself. I bought a couple cases of water and some of them have been flavored with crystal light. I have had 4 twenty ounce bottles of diet mountain dew throughout the day and I have a slight headache. I am going to have one more before I go to bed. You know it’s bad when 5 20 ouncers is a big step down.

Crystal Light was what helped me. I would drink 4 cups of coffee and 8-10 Diet Cokes a day before kicking. Been over a year now without coke and dont miss it. After the first week or so you will be fine. Hang in there dude.

just take it slow and pretty soon you’ll be down to 4… then 3… 2… 1… win!

Wow! I thought I had it bad. I had one 44 oz. Diet Pepsi from the gas station today which I drank slowly over many hours. I bought a ton of non-soda drinks that I can have on Atkins from the grocery store - FTW!! We can do this!

Just don’t get hooked on crystal light. It is all artificial sweeteners too.

I marvel at your bladder and your kidneys. Like someone said, you’re doing the C25K soda version — good luck, you have lots of people cheering for you!!

i use to drink upwards of 4 LITERS of diet pepsi a day… i stopped. It’s hard but SO worth it! Good luck - i think a gradual step down is best, esp if 4-5 20 oz is still giving you a lot of withdrawl!

Think of it this way- you are doing C25K of kicking the caffeine addiction. You start slow, walk most of the time, and by the end of the program you will run.

Wow! That’s a lot! It may not be sugar, but its just things like artificial flavors and colors. Not even real food like stuff! Weaning yourself off of it is probably a good idea.

I’m impressed that you’re trying to beat this!!! I think you will notice a lot of health benefits as soon as you’ve weened off!
