On Day 3....Diet Coke withdrawl

Recommended Posts

Today is day 3. Before I started I drank about 8 diet sodas a day, and it was a huge problem. I decided to follow the rules about artificial sweeteners and quit cold turkey, replacing it with unseeet tea and water. I am still struggling with no diet sodas but am hoping it will continue to get easier. I really want to quit the habit so bad!

Hi @saragorham04 - that is a big change for your body, don't be surprised if you get headaches or feel ill. Even disrupted sleep is not unusual when detoxing from the sweeteners and chemicals in those beverages. Not the mention the sugar.

Drink lots of water, get extra sleep and generally be nice to yourself. You will be so glad when you come out the other side!

You CAN do it.  I started every day with a 44oz Coke Zero and many days would have 2-3 more 12oz cans throughout the day.  It only took me to day 4-5 to feel "normal" (no headaches etc.) and I drank hot black tea 1-2 times a day to help with that.  Now I can have 0 caffeine and feel fine (day 8 now).  Push through - you got it!
