Yes, sodas should be the first thing to go because it's a high glycemic food - spikes the blood sugar dramatically. Even something like flan, or pudding has some nutritional benefit, and fat in it so it slows the glycemic response down. Soda is the worst. That said, I do keep some San Pellegrino fruit sodas in the fridge in case I get a craving for alcohol - it is my last resort and always works. But I don't drink them very often due to the sugar. I eat pretty healthy and always keep apples, tangerines and carrot sticks to snack on.
