Night and day. I crave sugar & salt like crazy (also completely cut ALL candy, chocolate, chips) but I stave that off with the Corona Killer, a glass of orange juice. Non-Coca-Cola brands, naturally.
I even stopped drinking mediocre liquor because my stomach can't handle the pop mix any more.
I pass bowel movements more easily, my acid reflux is significantly lower, I have greater energy, less headaches, my piss is clear instead of nuclear (and it doesn't burn or get stuck halfway out).
Nothing can make me want to drink pop again, even my favorite brand (which is not Coca-Cola-related, or even North American).
Dark chocolate isn't that bad for you. In fact, it surprisingly has a good deal of iron in it. Maybe that's something you can treat yourself to for doing such a good job of eating well! :) I don't know you but I'm very proud of you - it's not easy to resist the things we want to eat, and it sure sounds like you have a LOT of will power! So congratulations - that is no small accomplishment! :)
Thank you. I appreciate your support. It's not easy, but now when I go to the grocery store 80+% looks gross and I won't go near it.
As for dark chocolate, I always found it disgusting and only ever ate it out of addictive desperation when the store was closed and the pantry was empty. The darker it is, the more it tastes like dirt.
Oh and speaking of dirt, I despise coffee. Always have. I was addicted to those Starbucks Frappuccino things ever since Sept. 2019 (pharmacy stocked them and they were the only thing open during work hours), but now coffee is off the table too.
I'm very close to running out of shitty food to cut. Now I just need to figure out what to replace it all with. So many differing opinions on what's healthy.
Haven't had pop in 2 years and my life has changed.
Good for you - you must feel so much better!

Is your favorite Sarsaparilla? ?
I do love Fallout, but my favorite is an English ginger ale called Fever Tree.
