How to beat your craving for soda...

How to beat your craving for soda...

"Instead, try these options:

Start slow by replacing sugared sodas with diet ones. "They're not that great for you, but in terms of obesity, I'd rather see you drinking diet than sugared," says Field.

Cut down gradually: replace one regular soft drink (or one diet soda) per day with an alternative drink. The best choice: water. "There may be health benefits to water even beyond those linked with cutting calories," says Popkin. "We were biologically evolved to drink water, and a series of new studies being published suggests that there are some extra metabolic effects of drinking water."
If you really need something with a boost of flavor, try calorie-free flavored waters and seltzers.
If it's the caffeine you crave, you're better off with tea or coffee, with minimal added sugars."
