I've found that replacing soda with water makes a huge difference. Basically, don't buy soda for at home and replace it with bottled water (in the biggest packs you find) and then it effectively takes like 90% of the sugar out of your diet. I tend now to drink like 3 cans of coke a week and sometimes more if I go out to eat.
Yes, I barely touch the stuff any more. I used to see it as a beverage. Now I see it as a pile of sugar. I probably drink one every few months or so now. I think it would be difficult for me to maintain my weight if I even just added one can of soda per day. I am sure over time my weight would creep up.
