Here's How I Quit Diet Soda
The first time I tried Coke Zero was about 7 years ago. I was doing the Body For Life program and loving it. We were tracking our calories on our phones. Coke Zero was my treat. Zero calories??? YES!!!
Of course I loved the sweet taste and the caffeine high, but my favorite part was the carbonation! I love that BURN. That’s what my sister and I always called it. We loved that cold, mild, burning sensation as the first sip went down. Nothing like it!
After a few years my stomach started to react badly. When I would indulge in my favorite treat my stomach would bloat out, like a small pregnancy. I would have sharp stabbing pains, aches, and moan about the pain to my family. The pain prompted me to research. I found that LOTS of people have the same issue, and it’s caused by aspartame.
Not only was the aspartame causing me physical pain, I read that the brain views aspartame the same way it views real sugar, which triggers a desire for more sugar, hence weight gain. I read article after article about the dangerous affects of aspartame on the brain, the stomach, and the digestive system. I now knew I was putting poison in my body.
Now when I reached for one I would tell myself… “Lisa! It’s poison!” But that didn’t stop me. A few times a week I would still succumb to the craving and indulge, only to be hurting right after. Until I found FIZZ STICKS!
In 2018 I participated in Arbonne’s 30 days to Healthy Living Program. With the program, you get two boxes of these all-natural caffeine packets. It was a slow love affair, and a completely new taste, but after about a week, I was reaching for them when I felt my Coke Zero craving hit.
I had successfully kicked the habit! Now fizz sticks are my treat. My favorite part? THE BURN!
Yessss I love the fizz! That’s what I was missing in all of the other alternative drinks I had tried. One of my favorite things about Fizz Sticks? I can take them ANYWHERE and mix with water easily. I have them in my purse, the console of car, the diaper bag… everywhere! When any kind of sugar craving hits, especially around 3pm, I mix up a cold glass with crushed ice and BOOM! Craving gone! It’s like a magical glass of orange soda.
My new treat doesn’t hurt my stomach at all, and contains just 2 grams of natural sugar (derived from Stevia plant), 13 total calories per 8 oz. glass, green tea, Vitamin B, no artificial sugars, or fructose corn syrup. They come in two flavors, I love both… pomegranate and orange.
You can purchase fizz sticks separate from the 30 Days to Healthy Living Program or get them as part of the program.
