Substituting your carbonated soda
Substituting your carbonated soda
Few temptations will challenge mom's willpower like the urge to down her favorite soda. Let soda substitutes come to the rescue!

One of a pregnancy diet's biggest challenges has mom trying to kick her soda habit. Full calorie sodas are complete with useless calories. Diet sodas contain a cocktail of artificial sweeteners discouraged by doctors and nutritionists. This pregnancy diet idea helps mom find alternatives for soda.
Part of the soda experience is clearing a dry throat with the zing of carbonation. Carbonated waters will give the same bite without the calories. When the urge hits, pick up a Perrier, San Pellegrino or any other carbonated water brand found at the grocery.
Besides the bite of carbonation, a soda provides a pungent break from the ordinary. Squirt, Fresca, Mountain Dew and Mellow Yellow all offer this type of taste retreat. Recreate a similar taste by adding lemon or lime juice to carbonated or non-carbonated water. Choose your own dosage of fruit juice.
Use your hunkering for a soda to take in a little nutrition. Choose from the many types of carbonated fruit juices found at your finer grocery stores. These fruit juices pack a flavorful punch.
Substitutes are your best tool for breaking the soda habit. Consider making these a permanent substitute for your soda habit.
