Gave up soda 5 years ago cold turkey 

No soda is obviously the best course ..., but, a little soda, won't hurt you. 

The problem is that people with eating disorders ...which is a vastly larger number of American population than is generally thought ... thinks that what in reality is too much, is a little ... not understanding that just because it seems like a little to them... These types, less than anything they prefer is "a little"  ... Breaking down those illusions are a whole 'nother challenge.  

I lost 35 lbs since February doing various life-style practices, but didn't cut soda out entirely. I average about 6 to 8 ounces of ginger-ale, which is well short of the 12 to 16 ounce typical purchase size... Now, sure... 7 ounces a day, one might argue the weight loss could have been say... 45 lbs.  However, there are tolerance thresholds in the body, where you can handle 'up to' a certain amount of activity and won't gain(lose) weight so long as one is under those limites.  Now, I am visibly thinner and my heart rate is like 50 beats a minute.  I don't even get winded on runs any more... nearing 4 miles and I can still take a deep breath comfortably.  I feel pretty strongly and confidently I'm under said threshold...a.k.a. the real little. 

So while not engaging is the only way to be Military certain ... I've read and lived that a small amount of cocaine and heroine aren't all that bad -  ;)

Drink seltzer but no other soda-gave mine up 30 years ago.  No juice either.   My liquid consists of water/seltzer, coffee, adult beverages.

I gave up soda also about 5 years ago.  Except for The Beverly down at Club Cool in Epcot.  I partake of that refreshing aperitif when I get down there.

I do have occasional seltzer and crystal light type beverages (into iced tea at the moment) and a ton of water.  1 coffee per day typically.

85/71 here            Pool beckons

Maine Root ginger brew is probably the only soda I occasionally crave once about every season. If you like the bite of real ginger try some.

I've discovered the advantages of ginger beer for making certain cocktails. Still discovering new brands.  I will seek out that one
