Diet Soda Addiction
DaOld Man:
Im hooked too. I go through a 2 liter bottle of diet coke in a 24 hour period, when im off of work.
I decided to try and wing myself off them so I switched to caffeine free diet coke and I felt irritable, tired, headaches, and just plain "blah". The store was out of the caffeine free one day so I grabbed a regular diet coke, and Im right back where I started.
I think it is the caffeine for me. I dont drink as much coke at work, but I go through 3-4 cups of coffee in the days time.
Also, about diet coke, I think the name is a misnomer. I quit a couple of years ago and lost about 2-3 pounds of weight after a few days. So crashwg may be on to something.
But Im sure the soda companies know nothing about how addictive their products are! :dunno

Read Failure: 2-3lbs per few DAYS. That adds up quickly over a months time.
Generally Coffee has a lot more Caffeine than soda. So the first thing you want to do, is scale back the coffee.
Start out by making it weaker, and gradually reduce its intensity over time till you dont need it anymore.
That would help with the Soda addition, if its merely the caffeine.
Additionally, I was gaining mass with the amount of creamer I was using. By making coffee weaker, I didnt need creamer any more. However, I dont really drink much coffee anymore either now.

I like to drink Mountain Dew all day and piss glow in the dark.
Actually, I limit myself to one caffeinated drink per day, unless I had a good night's sleep then I won't have any. When you don't drink one each day, when you do have it, it's much better. Just like donuts and tugging.

You can do a co2 exchange at some stores for about $15.
