I am trying to lose wieght but i have an addiction to pepsi. I drink about 6 cups a day and I want to stop drinking it. Whenever I go a day without drinking it I go trough terrible withdrawls. I get very cranky and irritable. Does anyone have any solutions on what I can do to stop these withdrawls?

You're more than likely craving the sugar. A good way to tamp those cravings is to have a more well-rounded diet. It sucks, but it works. I used to crave ice cream all the time, until I started eating more vegetables at every meal...

If you go cold turkey, (which it sounds like that's what you've been doing) you are going to run into trouble. Withdrawal symptoms are nothing to mess with.
Start weaning yourself off the Pepsi day by day. Decrease your intake by a cup a day. Be careful not to completely eliminate caffeine from your diet, because chances are you will feel very fatigued. A little caffeine can be a good thing.

It's probably not Pepsi withdrawl, it's probably caffeine withdrawl, or a sugar withdrawl. Try switching to something like coffee, or something that doesn't have as much caffeine in it.

If you need caffeine that bad then take a pill..Not recommended though..Try diet Pepsi but drink it in moderation using self control.
