Sprite has been my favorite carbonated beverage since I was 5. Last summer, before starting school at Rutgers, I did some research on eating right because I wanted to maintain a healthy lifestyle in college and not gain the infamous &#8220;freshman 15&#8221; from the options that would surround me.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-8951 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/sprite_logo-300x268.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"268\" srcset=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=268,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/sprite_logo.jpg 300w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1024,height=915,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/sprite_logo.jpg 1024w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=686,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/sprite_logo.jpg 768w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=290,height=259,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/sprite_logo.jpg 290w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=407,height=364,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/sprite_logo.jpg 407w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=800,height=715,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/sprite_logo.jpg 800w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=512,height=457,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/sprite_logo.jpg 512w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1220,height=1090,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/sprite_logo.jpg 1220w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1330,height=1188,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/sprite_logo.jpg 1330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>During my research, I came across articles discussing the dangerous brominated vegetable oil used in the production of Mountain Dew. Despite being aware of the dangers, I still drank Mountain Dew each time I was at the dining halls. They didn&#8217;t have Sprite. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t long before I started feeling frustrated with myself. Why was I drinking something I KNEW was not good for me? Why was I even drinking so much soda? Some people don&#8217;t drink it at all!<\/p>\n<p>That day, I decided to give up soda and go on a strict water\/iced-tea diet.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still on it to this day and I can honestly say soda was effortless to give up. Not even once have I found myself missing and\/or craving it. Possibly one of the easiest adjustments I&#8217;ve ever made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Tell us about something you\u2019ve tried to quit.

Trifari"},"description":"For more than a decade, I have been documenting my misadventures on The Rocky Safari while exploring destinations all around the world. I may be an introvert at heart, but I love stepping outside of my comfort zone. Thanks to numerous solo travel adventures, I've learned to embrace long-term travel as a lifestyle. Now my primary goal is to help you explore unusual places, travel longer, and design a remote lifestyle.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com"]}]}},"modified_by":"Rocky Trifari","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1200,height=800,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ff-soda-counter-se-this-one-2.jpg","uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1200,height=800,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ff-soda-counter-se-this-one-2.jpg",1200,800,false],"thumbnail":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=150,height=150,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ff-soda-counter-se-this-one-2.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=200,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ff-soda-counter-se-this-one-2.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=512,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ff-soda-counter-se-this-one-2.jpg",704,469,true],"large":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1024,height=683,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ff-soda-counter-se-this-one-2.jpg",704,470,true],"1536x1536":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1200,height=800,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ff-soda-counter-se-this-one-2.jpg",1200,800,false],"2048x2048":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1200,height=800,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ff-soda-counter-se-this-one-2.jpg",1200,800,false],"post-thumbnail":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=290,height=193,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ff-soda-counter-se-this-one-2.jpg",282,188,true],"fluida-featured":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=290,height=193,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ff-soda-counter-se-this-one-2.jpg",282,188,true],"fluida-featured-lp":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=407,height=271,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ff-soda-counter-se-this-one-2.jpg",407,271,true],"fluida-featured-half":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=800,height=533,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ff-soda-counter-se-this-one-2.jpg",435,290,true],"fluida-featured-third":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=512,height=341,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ff-soda-counter-se-this-one-2.jpg",435,290,true],"fluida-header":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1200,height=800,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ff-soda-counter-se-this-one-2.jpg",600,400,false],"fluida-lpbox-1":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=223,height=150,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ff-soda-counter-se-this-one-2.jpg",208,140,true],"fluida-lpbox-2":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=305,height=350,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ff-soda-counter-se-this-one-2.jpg",187,215,true],"fluida-lpbox-3":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=167,height=200,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ff-soda-counter-se-this-one-2.jpg",161,193,true],"fluida-featured-square":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=512,height=512,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ff-soda-counter-se-this-one-2.jpg",512,512,true],"fluida-featured-square-large":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1024,height=800,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ff-soda-counter-se-this-one-2.jpg",1024,800,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Rocky Trifari","author_link":"https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/author\/therockysafarigmail-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":7,"uagb_excerpt":"&#8220;Tell us about something you\u2019ve tried to quit.
