Ditching Soda For Water

I just read an article via TipNut with some tips to make drinking water more appealing, rather than soda. I’m a pretty strong believer in this for a few different reasons:
- It’s a heck of a lot cheaper to just drink water. And convenient!
- Soda makes your teeth feel pretty gross, which annoys me.
- Every article you’ll ever read about dieting tells you that drinking your calories is a waste. It doesn’t fill you up, and there’s no nutritional value to soda.
In the article they emphasize ways to make water more appealing, such as refrigerating water, or adding some lemon juice. I also like to keep the house stocked with Crystal Light, which is sugar free and packs around 20 calories to the liter.
I would also like to emphasize a similar mind trick– make soda seem less appealing. When buying soda, buy the two-liter bottles. They already mention that this saves you the mental obligation to drink the whole thing. But also, the two-liter bottles tend to go flat after opening, so it’ll be less apealing. Also, it’s cheaper.

Good tips. Might want to work on how your format shows up in RSS feeds though. I am using google reader, and the bullets on your post were overlapping your picture which made it look really weird. I don’t know if there is an easy way to preview in RSS or something, but check it out.
