Answers: Any known "cures" to totally give it up altogether?

Both are most likely equally as bad as each other, it really depends on what your most concerned about though. If you calorie conscience, then it would be regular coke which is worse for you. Though, in the long run- it could be diet coke which is worse. I would say start by gradually slowing down on your coke intake, instead of just trying to quit drinking coke cold turkey! Each day drink less and less until eventually you aren't drinking any coke in a day. Though, remember... every once and awhile it'll be fine to have a diet coke or regular coke, just not on a daily basis! Replace the coke with another healthier beverage which you enjoy, healthy juices or even better yet... water!! Hope I've helped xx

I think diet is worse. Long term health issues from artificial sweeteners. At least with the sugar, you know when you're getting fat from it. It's hard to give it up because caffeine is addicting. Cure would be as any other...difficult and painful but takes willpower and maybe even a bit of luck.

diet coke is worse..........(IN TATSE HAHAHA!!!!!!!)

JUST STOP! why can't people do that. It's taking away your precious life, so why do you DO IT? if it's the caffine or sugar, they have pills for that ya know. Good luck!

We are all different. For me, I find quitting something radically is the easiest way. In other words, refusing to have anything to do with coke at all, not even tasting it. I would find tapering off to be far too difficult.
But you would need to keep away from all soft drinks.

Just try to drink something else like tea or maybe hawaiian punch, I stopped drinking soda 2 years ago that way, Now all I dring is tea, punch, Kool aid, etc

start watering down your cokes. If you drink more than one a day, say three, cut back to two, then one per day, and on that last coke, put water in it till you get almost all water and no coke. This will take several days, weeks, depending on how many you drink per day.

It isn't easy but can be done. Oh, and be ready to get caffine withdrawl headaches. Keep some Tylenol on hand for when you do.

diet coke is not worse then regular coke. It's so hard to quit because it taste so good and you just always want more, try getting addicted to something else like water or vitamin water! Good Luck!!
