    Just scale it back gradually — transitioning from a high sugar [anti-]diet to a low sugar one quickly will leave you feeling like that.

    I wouldn't bother with diet or fake-sugar alternatives, as the way they trick the psychology but not the physicality just leads to problems down the road. Also most of them 'll do more damage to you than just too much sugar.

    Try and look into the energy values on your sodas - I now drink a Turkish soft drink (really) that *tastes* a lot sweeter than other sodas I drink, but actually has less sugar in it... all depends upon the balance of sweet vs sour or bitter, etc.

    if you drink tea, drink it. A 'sweet' tea will have way less sugar than a not-so sweet soda.
