The "Cola Wars" is commonly refer to the ongoing rivalry between Coke and Pepsi, but there's another, more sinister war bubbling just below the surface: the ongoing rivalry between soda and our ever-growing buttocks.

It's no secret that our soda habit isn't doing anything (good) for our waistlines, but many of us still indulge in a few cans every week. That's not to say there's anything wrong with enjoying some pop once in a while — heck, we sometimes — but it's important to set some limits. Otherwise, those two sodas could become several sodas, and before you know it, our two buttcheeks have become several buttcheeks.

Knowing this, the fine folks at CashNetUSA have compiled a list of tips for weaning ourselves off of our sugary, fizzy sodas. Take a look below to read their suggestions, then grab a glass of water and give your butt a much-deserved break.
