I was once very much addicted to a certain Diet Soda. It happens so easily doesn't it? One day after having a new baby, I was so tired I couldn't function so I stopped at my favorite gas station and the rest is history.
Weaning myself off was not pretty. But I did it. And so can you. I haven't had a soda in ages and have absolutely NO desire for one.
Some people can quit cold turkey. I was not one of those. I weaned gradually but once I discovered how to make the following flavored waters my task became MUCH easier.
What you need:
1. liquid or powdered 100% stevia. (that 100% is very important. Truvia is not stevia. If it has xylitol, that is not 100% stevia, so check those labels!) NOTE: liquid stevia comes in many different flavors and honestly I'm not sure what all of them have been flavored with, so use your head and check those labels. I love the peppermint flavored one, but I know there is even a "root beer" flavor. Just be careful.
2. Filtered Water
3. Any fruit and herbs: lemon, watermelon, cucumber, mint, rosemary, strawberries, lime, orange, etc.
HOW TO:
Simply fill up your glass of water. Toss in some sliced fruit and/or herbs of your choice. (lime, watermelon and mint...YUMMY!) Add 4-6 drops of liquid stevia or 1-2 pinches of powdered stevia.
Stir well. Sometimes I will even crush my fruit to release its flavor a little more.
EXPERIMENT AND HAVE FUN! You will be SO shocked at how delicious and easy these are...AND HOW YOU WON'T EVEN WANT THAT POP AFTER JUST A FEW DAYS!
