I replaced regular soda with Diet Rite in all different flavors ( no caffiene no sodium ). I love an ice cold one when I have a little craving. I made the mistake of buying diet root beer ( One can had the sodium content of 3 Diet Coke's ) and I swelled up like balloon.

You can kick the habit by replacing that fizzy sweetness with a harm free choice like the sugar free sodas or sugar free waters. I think that you have to make the decision not to allow consumer product companies to dictate what choices you give your body. It's a choice you make. There are no tricks, just better substitutions.
