Eliminate all sodas. if you must use a "ade" drink for rides, cut it by half with water. I even try to limit OJ with it's high sugar amounts. Try pink grapefruit. Drink low sodium tomato juice. I actually add an inch of water to bottom of the glass and make it really, really cold. It all takes some getting used to...but in a week or two you will adjust. A nice treat once in a while is nice, as is a beer or two. Just always ask yourself if this intake is going to worth carrying around with me on the next uphill climb?
