How to Kick Your Soda Habit? (Lose Pounds)

First you need to cut calories: 


Try some Flavored Water, In the beverage aisle with many flavors to choose from. From lime to vanilla, raspberry and grapefruit. This is a great substitute for soda. Just make sure you pick the ones without sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and artificial sweeteners


Try making Homemade Soda(Low Calorie), Even some bottled 100-percent juices have as many carbohydrates as soda. Those carbs come from natural sugars instead of the artificial sugars in soda, but you still have to be careful about drinking extra calories.
Truth about Sugar:

Orange juice + seltzer = virgin mimosa
Seltzer + a squirt of bottled lemon or lime juice = citrus “soda”
Pineapple juice + a dash of pomegranate juice + seltzer = faux tropical cocktail


Make Some Real Ice Tea, The  Real iced tea, the unsweetened variety brewed without additives, contains disease fighting antioxidant power and is a naturally no-calorie, flavorful beverage.


Black tea + an orange slice = a strong but slightly sweet alternative to coffee with sugar


Iced Coffee
Avoid the calorie-clogged options at the chain coffee vendors (hint: if your order reads like Willy Wonka’s grocery list, it’s probably fattening), and go with straight unsweetened coffee, iced, with milk.

Your Boyfriend

• Your guy can chow down on wings and pound back beer without gaining weight. Men have a higher amount of muscle mass and lower body fat percent than women.

Your Grandmother 

• Your grandma always wants to feed you. "She sees it as a welcoming gesture and you see it as diet sabotage," says Mangieri. But instead of completely giving into nana's attempts to put meat on your bones, set some limits.

Chest pain that doesn't go away, varied shortness of breath, and any upper body pain that hasn't occurred before. If you experience any of these symptoms call 911.

• Abdominal discomfort with gas or bloating

If the symptoms are new, the worst-case scenario is ovarian cancer. In 2007, the Gynecologic Cancer Foundation released the first national consensus on early symptoms of this form of cancer: bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, and difficulty eating.
