This is what really makes me not drink coke. Really.
I decided not to drink coke sometime November and it is not easy seeing a big coke bottle inside our ref. At first I drink lots and lits of water. I count them. I have to drink 3-4 liters per day. That is the goal but of course it is hard.
I tried having tea so I can taste something other than water. Then came December and I baked some lemon square. I came up with the idea of infusing my water with lemon. It does not taste so good. Just bland water.
As days passed by, I am able to accept my lemon infused water. And as i started to get the feel of this and one time Isip a coke, it makes the taste of the coke too sweet for me. And that helps me more not to dri k coke.
I also have now less sugar with my coffee. I think the lemon water makes my tastebuds bland that everything is a notch sweeter when I taste. Good for me right?
I also tried infusing cucumber and lemkn but i prefer lemon alone .

Maybe this would help my husband. He drinks far too much Coke, he is trying to stop, but it is very hard for him. I drink soda sometimes, but I usually drink water.

@rakski I will ask him if he wants to try it. It is worth a try. He is hard for him to avoid Coke. This morning when I opened the fridge I found two large Coke bottles, he said that they were on sale, and he couldn't resist buying them.

My wife puts half a lemon and some cucumber slices in a glass pitcher and that's what she drinks. The lemon turns the water into alkaline water, I was told sometime ago.
