I do not recomend this for a long term solution, but you might switch first to coffee, this will allow you to deal with the sugar addiction first. then get weaned from the coffee to get rid of the caffiene

I used to be the exact same way with Dr. Pepper and Coke... I rented Supersize Me about 3 months ago and that actually has helped cut my addiction pretty much cold turkey. I wasn't a 2-3 caser /day but I'd take down about 6 cokes/DPs per day.

Look at Ralph Davis these days. He said he quit drinking soda and he's REALLY slimmed down!

I did notice ralph on his youtube videos he looks alot healthier. Its gotten so bad with me that I weighed in at 160 my last pyhsical and I weighed last week at 230 Ive almost gained 100 pounds just off of soda and I feel horrible about that I can not stand being this big. And the craziest thing about it is I did not even relize I was gaining weight and it was just like it hit me out of nowhere. That I weighed over 200

I calculate that if MD has 110 cal per 8oz when you consume two 12 packs you are drinking 3960 cal per day. A typical female should have about 1200 cal per day total Does this help with the motivation

Also, take a look at this...

A daily caloric intake for a female of average size is still 2000 calories.. Not 1200 unless they are on a severly restricted diet.

The MD can be a hard habit to quick, as with any habit. Mine is sweet tea (southern style). I don't like water, so I've started drinking water with a splash of cranberry & a squirt of lime juice, it works for me. Good luck with trying to quit.

Sorry My bad

Wowza! I dont think i could drink two to three cases of anything in a day. hehe

One of my close friends lost a lot of weight by cutting sugar out of his diet. He replaced soda and candy with fruit and juice... Natural sugars in fruit are much healthier for you then high fructose corn syrup. Next time you are jonesin', grab an apple or a glass of OJ.

Good luck!

If you lead a very sedentary life style, especially females, can easily maintain weight with 1200 calories, and men at 1500 calories. If you are moderately active, 2000+ is obviously what you'd need. More physical you are, the more calories you will burn just sitting there.

Sedentary = sitting at computer 8 hours a day, and no exercise.
