Good on ya. I can't do soda anymore due to a medication that I take. I do still like sweetened teas and coffees but I have cut back on those too. I've lost a couple of pounds since the medication started, probably due to the loss of soda in my diet. Keep us posted on how it goes!
Weight was part of the consideration. I'm not very physically active at the moment, so passive cutting of calories and sugars off is the least I can do to control it. As an Internet stranger said, "You can't outrun the fork".I've lost a couple of pounds since the medication started, probably due to the loss of soda in my diet.
Your internet stranger friend is very wise. I'm curious now about this milk with jam. I have never heard of it. I don't think there is much of a Russian community where I live, so while I have been exposed to interesting culinary fun from a variety of cultures, yours is one that is a complete mystery.
I'm surprised that the idea of milk with jam is so foreign to you. To me, it seems completely natural: you mix a drinkable liquid with a sweet substance for tasty results. Much like tea with sugar, just... milk with jam. Berry jam, to be precise. Fruit preserves are rare around here.
Gin mixed with lemon/lime and a dollop of jam is an amazing mixed drink...
