But I'd rather drink that than the swill that passes for coffee at the office, and I don't know if I want to go through caffeine withdrawal at this time.

Stop on the way to the office and buy coffee.

A month ago I switched from regular to diet soda. I lost 20 pounds in the first 20 days. After the first 20 pounds I've been losing a pound a day.
I wasn't fat, but now I'm in better shape for summer.

Even if I could manage eatting right, I think I would have a hard time getting on a good sleep schedule.
Chris G:
We have one of the weight scales that also calculates body fat %age. It may not be completely accurate, but if you use it at the same time every day it should give you fairly consistent results which can be used to guage your improvement. Hopefully your trainer is having you do a mix of weight lifting as well as cardio, even if your main goal is to lose weight. Gaining muscle mass will improve your metabolism, help lower that body fat % and most important, make you feel better overall. Good luck and stick with it!

--- End quote ---
High Fructose Corn Syrup isn't corn syrup. They take corn starch and run it thru a few chemicals and enzymes to convert it into a glucose/fructose syrup.
Glucose is a sugar that every cell in your body can metabolize.
Fructose, OTOH, is not. Your liver has to break it down.
