Oh yeh. I learned my lesson and hated my overweight body. I been exercising everyday and drinking water without a problem. It is hard to avoid sodas that you want one so bad, but it'll get better from ignoring it.

We drink sparkling water and regular water. Sometimes green tea or hibiscus tea without sugar, or lemon water.

It’s not my fault that it tastes so good

To all those who don’t believe doc, o just wanna say I have been withdrawing from sugar for the past day and a half and I felt like I was going to die yesterday. I’m slowly feeling better and drinking more water. Soda should actually be illegal because it’s so addictive. Yesterday’s withdrawal felt like a drug withdrawal for anyone who has ever been down that path. I’m stopping sodas officially. I’m going to make it once in a while thing. Not an everyday thing.

Quit after a 48 year addiction. Lost 10 lbs. I have severe osteoporosis from it. Hope quitting will get my bones to rebuild. Don't miss pop much, it was the caffeine loss headaches for a week was brutal though.

Hey Doc. This just happened to me on 11/11/22 while on my way to work. While driving, I had a chest pain, but I didn’t think much of it. I stopped by my regular donut shop, and I got my decaffeinated coffee and a donut. Once I got to my job site, I began to work like I normally do. However, every time I crouched, I noticed that I felt pressure on my chest, like if I was being squashed. I got up and decided to walk it off, but it only got worse. My vision started to get blurrier, my speech was slurring, I felt like I was going passing out, I got hiccups for no reason, and my mouth was dried. I called the paramedics and they took me to the emergency room. Once I got there, I started to feel cold and my muscle movements started to go away. I had a dried mouth. I ask for water but the medical staff would not give me any until the blood test comes back. It turns out that I became hypokalemia. My lab test showed that I had a potassium deficiency. I was at a scale of 2.7. I believe sodas did this to me.

Thank you Dr.Mandel for the suggestions! 🤗

[marleneliddell]

I do agree Dr. Mandell. I said that years ago and even told the Dr. "have you ever noticed most people who drink soda and diet soads are thick through the middle." Sugar is one of the worst things to eat or drink is what I believe myself.
Thanks for educating and teaching people to eat and drink healthy. You are a wonderful, caring, loving Doctor.
Everyone have a joyful peaceful day. Lifting everyone up in prayer. 🙏 🤲 ❤️ 🫂 🤗 ✝️

idc bout my size. there's only one part of my body that I'm not happy with the size of

[bonnielondon]

Please tell me how to stop. Coca Cola is a bad habit of mine and has been since I was a teen. I've tried many times to quit. I feel better when I've stayed away. Then I get a craving for one and limit myself to a small amount and I always drink plenty of filtered water. But the coke habit is almost impossible for me to quit. The longest I have stayed away was 2 weeks. Then the craving for a coke on ice comes over me and that's all I think about. It's horrible being addicted...😔
