Fizzy drinks are one of the worst. I switched to diet or sugar free versions but I read something about them not actually being all that much better in weight loss terms. Something about the sweetness tricks your body into expecting a sugar hit so it plays havoc with your metabolism or some other science stuff. Anyway more relevant was I drank litres of the stuff, I could easily finish a 2 litrre bottle of Pepsi Max in one evening and get started on the next one; but I was always thirsty and being thirsty can trick you into thinking your hungry.

3 weeks of subbing the fizzy juice for water and I'm suddenly no longer thirsty all the time and lo and behold despite eating less (or certainly eating less crap) and moving more I'm not feeling hungry all the time either. There are other benefits too, my skin is as good as it has been in years and a couple of long term joint problems in my knees and hips are feeling a lot better which my physio says is almost certainly down to being better hydrated.
Fizzy drinks are my absolute kryptonite. I could give up most things, crisps, sweeties, probably even meat, but I struggle to ever see me binning fizzy drinks.
