Breaking the habit....

[Ree Fresh]

Why can't ppl just eat healthy?

I have a serving of friut/veg with everything. Its the first thing I think of when I eat. Choose Whole Wheat over white, pick salad over fires, drink juice instead of pop or get use to dirnking water!?!

Were'nt you tot the 4 food groups in school? COMON!?!?!

I wonder how many of know how bad Asperteme is for you? It's in all your diet pops and low fat yogarts. Wowmen arnt supose to eat when the're pregnat so why would you?

[LLaaUUrrYYn]

I love coffee..when I treat myself to it. As far as pop goes..the only time it tastes good is when its flat and warm. Water all the way bitches. =D

They have pop now with "Splenda" instead of Asperteme.

Not sure if thats any better but it takes the same.

But I just like club soda, cause I like the fizz

[thechix0r]

^^^ if it ain't the real thing, it's ten times worse for you in the long run, plus I think it tastes like crap.

Aspertame was suppose to be banned by the government this year, but they decided not to because they thought it was a hassle to have to pull it from everything that it's in in the market

[shebavpg]

^^^Yea the Splenda seemed good at first but father down it got it just started tasting to sweet...ick

[Diamonite]

I drink Yerba Mate now, too much coffee. Seems to be the thing going around work. A little caffeine in it. But alot more active ingredients. It's also good for you. And my god it wakes you up.

From reading up on some of the side effects that aspartame has on your body, in the long run, it is much better to just drink a can of regular pop then diet. Assuming that you are not drinking like 3 or 4 cans a day but only like 1 or at the most 2.

I use to drink diet pop regularly b/c my ex was a diabetic. I got so use to it I thought that I could never go back to regular pop b/c of all the sugar. When I was trying to lose weight my doctor told me that it wasn't better for you then regular pop even though some might think that.

Also the flavored Dasani waters have aspartame as well. But I agree that they are really good if you need a quick fix of something sweet.

Swear by it when it comes to kickin coffee / pop etc. I'd suggest the extra energy variety to ween yourself off pop then switch to the original or detox.

your choice of:
greens+
greens+ extra energy(naturally occurring caffeine etc)
greens+ daily detox
greens+ bone builder

I am having a harder time with the no pop thing, then I did with the coffee.

oi, seriously jonesing and it is day #1.

edit: but for caffeine, gusto is right...coffee has way more caffeine than does (green) tea

Harmful Effects?

To date, the only negative side effect reported from drinking green tea is insomnia due to the fact that it contains caffeine. However, green tea contains less caffeine than coffee: there are approximately thirty to sixty mg. of caffeine in six - eight ounces of tea, compared to over one-hundred mg. in eight ounces of coffee.
