Fizzy juice

[rmcd91]

I was looking for some advice. I don’t know if anyone has ever had an addiction to fizzy juice I don’t eat a lot of sweets or crisps but I can’t seem to stop drinking it.

I drink at least 3 litres every day probably closer to 4 if I’m being honest . So would just simply changing from this to water help me see a difference in my weight ?

Try fizzy water with squash/cordial, that's what we have at home xx

Thanks I’ll definitely give that a try

How is that better? Commercial softdrinks are sugar syrup mixed with fizzy water. Mixing syrup with still water in your home is basically the same thing.

It's just a suggestion. She has free will to make a decision. Thought this was a friendly arena, clearly not!!

So, like Coca-Cola? Yes, that stuff is very very bad for you.

3 litres of coke is equivalent to - 72 teaspoons of sugar. This is not only fattening, but it will directly shorten your life.

You must learn to live without it.

Hello and welcome rmcd91,

I would have suggested fizzy water as a replacement to fizzy drinks, but see Rachel has already done that
