    I'm finding that if I drink about a half a can of Coke or Pepsi and I start to feel "icky". I prefer ice water with lemon, iced tea, or even a Margarita. Something about soda pop these days is really messing with me. Anyone else lose their ability to enjoy pop?

      It's not that I lost the ability to drink it; I just don't drink it anymore. I generally stick to the three staples: water, beer, and bourbon. When I do drink pop (rare occurrence), its generally 7Up/Sierra Mist/Sprite, or Root Beer. :thumbsup:

        I feel that way if I drink normal soda, so I stick to diet. Lately I've been wanting a lot more juice though, but I think it's a side effect of me undergoing a huge dietary shift at the moment (not always eating enough carbs and getting low blood sugar, juice helps fix it).

          Both Coke and Pepsi contains caffeine, so if you are already consuming more than 4 cups of coffee (USA's 1 cup means almost 6 cups), it's just lot of caffeine. Cut down a little bit on coffee. :)

            One or two restaurants I go to make me feel that way. Their soda is on tap and has turned sweet and syruppy for some reason. They haven't been able to fix it. Bottled or canned soda is still the same.

              I've almost completely cut out diet soda from my diet. I now have less than 1 drink a week. Three things have resulted. 1. When I do have it, I have trouble sleeping as I don't have much caffeine in my system anymore. 2. I'm down almost 15 pounds [6.8 KG] since the beginning of the year. I find that my body is now able to tell me when its full so I don't keep eating. 3. I'm saving money on vending machines not buying a drink I feel like I need. I still enjoy one occasionally, but its a rare treat [with consequences]. Hogan

                    That's because soft drinks are literally poison. They're either full of sugar or arguably worse in the diet versions. It's like a choice between insulin resistance, diabetes and obesity or straight-up arse cancer that in either case you get to pay extra for.

                      I mostly stay away from it now. Drinking a whole soda makes me feel icky. I try to bring a bag of apples to work every week so I have something to munch on when I'm feeling a craving.

                        I've almost given up soda, in fact sugar in general and overall my health has improved greatly.

                          I echo what other have expressed: poison. Why would anyone drink that stuff? Any of your preferred alternatives are better. (Moderation on the Margarita.) :)

                            Do you mean cola intolerant?  What about other sodas like Sprite or Fanta?  I switched from Coke/Pepsi to Sprite several years ago. /ravi

                              I think it is sweet, fizzy drinks intolerant. I cannot drink Sprite at all.

                                Most people drink the same thing over and over. Variety is the spice of life, plus if you are sick and drink it you may develop an aversion (studies show : ) ). Add variety. Sprite, 7up, Dr. Pepper, Orange Soda, Grape Soda, Diet Coke, Pepsi, Pepsi Max, Coke, Cherry Coke, Cherry Dr. Pepper, the list goes on. Just keep rotating. I don't normally drink Grape Soda, but every now and then it really hits the spot.

                                    So, since I am about to start my 5th 12 ounce cup of coffee for the day (full test, not decaf), is that considered too much?

                                        Avoid the stuff. Way too sweet for me, and the artificial sweeteners taste much worse to me than real sugar. Besides, it is all chemical, and undoubtedly most of those chemicals will eventually be proven to be bad for your health, just like margarine. Remember when my father had a heart attack, and we were suppose to avoid butter. My mother almost immediately decided did not like the taste of margarine, and we went back to butter. Maybe allowed my father to live a lot longer.
