I really hope you all don't think I am being cute or anything, because I am not. I am really getting addicted to gatorade and I just cannot seem to break it. I used to love soda and I can't remember how I cut that out. I think I used powdered drink mixes to stop my addiction and sparkling water. Are there any suggestions that you can give me? Thanks.

Re: Gatorade addiction
I use to drink a lot of soda or carbonated beverages but overtime it takes a toll on your stomach along with all the sugar that causes weight gain. Overtime I've switched to juice and ice coffee which isn't as terrible for you.
If you're worried about your health I always suggest people to drink more water as there is no substitutes for that."When Zeus was setting all things in order there fell from him drops of sacred blood, and from them, as they say, arose the race of men."- Flavius Claudius Iulianus Augustus

Re: Gatorade addiction
Juice and ice coffee are terrible for you. There is so much sugar in them.
Idk what to do about the Gatorade Anubisa. I'm addicted to alcohol, so I'm not really much help haha. I did go cold turkey on coffee once with some success.ThorSon's milkshake brings all the PF girls to the yard - Volcaniclastic

Thanks for thoughts everyone. I'll figure out something. Maybe I will try some of the powdered drink mixes then get back down to water again.Anubisa

Re: Gatorade addiction
I have a Sodastream at home but I only use it to make carbonated water. I weaned myself off of sugary carbonated drinks years ago by substituting the Sodastream at home (we never really bought sodas for at home anyway) and getting Iced Tea (unsweetened, I hate sweet tea) when going out to eat. But that's just my success story.�Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. And experience is often the most valuable thing you have to offer.�

I drink very little alcohol and when I do I tend to favor wine over beer or hard liquors.
Smoking tobacco is probably the most unhealthy habit that I partake in.

Re: Gatorade addiction
It's not perfect, but you can sub the zero version that's sugar free, or g2. That's what I'm drinking a lot of now. Powdered Gatorade could allow you to reduce the amount of sugar per serving. Watering down what's in the bottles is another option.
I also drink coffee with sugar free syrup and cream. And when I buy iced coffee I just get cream in it, no sugar or syrup. I also get bottled water because our tap sucks.
I've been on a minimal sugar diet (25g/day) since February and have lost 20 lbs. Reducing the sugar I drink was one of the hardest parts.
Eta: my gf drinks herbal tea all the time and has a couple nice tea pots, so that's another option. You could buy one of the sample packs of hot tea so you can try multiple.Last edited by Shahaku; 03 Jun 2019, 18:33.We are what we are. Nothing more, nothing less.

I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.
Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.

Re: Gatorade addiction
I usually get it at work. We have what is called a company kitchen and you can buy that and other sodas. I keep a water bottle with me to take. It's just that damned addiction. So I really need to find something to keep me from that wanting of Gatorade. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.Anubisa
