For what it's worth, the general rule is that Jam has to have at least 60% sugar content to be legally called "Jam". And most have upwards of 80%, which is more than that soda.

Apart from one chocolate bar on my birthday and a donut at my coworkers retirement party, I haven't eaten anything high sugar for about two months now. With the UK's traffic light food labelling system, anything over 15g per 100g is classed as high sugar. That rules out of a lot of things, including numerous breakfast cereals and 95% of supermarket drinks. Once you start paying attention, it's crazy how much sugar everything has in it.

It was hard at first because I loved the stuff. In particular, I ate a lot of cakes and chocolate. I also have quite a high metabolism so I lost about 8lbs in the 2/3 weeks after stopping. That's probably sounds nice to some of you, but I've always had trouble keep up my weight so it's not so great for me. On the plus side, I have less mood swings now and find getting to sleep easier. To be honest, I wouldn't have willingly chosen to do it but I needed to for the sake of my dental health.

Either way, good on you for cutting out the soda.
