Skip sugary drinks for the whole day

Swap soda, sweet juice or sweetened coffee drinks for water or unsweetened tea.

Why it helps

Sugary drinks are an easy place to take in a lot of sugar without feeling full. Replacing them for a day shows you how often you reach for them.

How to do it

1. Decide now what you will drink instead, like water or herbal tea.
2. Keep a filled bottle within reach.
3. When a craving hits, drink a glass of water first and wait five minutes.

Make it easier

Skip it just in the afternoon.

Make it harder

Repeat for a full week.
