I know it's still soda, but at least without the calories. Now I drink Diet Coke w/ Splenda and it's delish. I also like diet root beer (I'm pretty sure that's caffeine free, though) and diet dr. pepper. I used to drink so many Mountain Dews a day… then a couple years back I switched to Diet Coke.

Diet soda causes metabolic syndrome - one can a day will do it. You're on your way to being overweight, having high blood pressure and diabetes coming down the pike. And even worse, caffeine makes your blood sugar spike so even though you're not consuming calories with either coffee or diet soda, it's harder to lose weight because of your blood glucose level is high. Sorry for the bad news. Oh, it’s so much worse than you know. Diet soda causes metabolic syndrome – one can a day will do it.

Dew. Excedrin has caffeine in it. After about a week of that, I would only take the Excedrin at the first signs of a headache. It worked for me because I can't just CUT BACK on soda, I love it too much. It was all or nothing for me. Of course, as I type this, I am drinking Mt. Dew. :-) When I sucessfully ditched soda (it lasted for six months, I have since fallen off the wagon) I took Excedrin Tension Headache in the morning instead of drinking a Mt. Dew.

I gave up caffeine 2 years ago and I'm really glad I did. It was pretty hard to get used to, but once I did it was easy. Well I kind of take that back, I gave up soda. I still drink Starbucks and such. But anyways, tea does help! And I did lose weight because I gave it up. This is a tuffy. I gave up caffeine 2 years ago and I’m really glad I did.

Today is my second day and my head is KILLING me!!! All I can suggest is...water. water.water. & chocolate chip cookies but then that would defeat the weight loss part. Let me know what works for you. I'm just hoping that going cold turkey will work. Oh honey I decided yesterday that I wasn’t going to have anymore coffee…yeah lent.
