Well, I am just about ready to start the low carb thingy again and as a prelude I have given up my beloved Coca Cola....and for the last 2 days I have been having caffiene withdrawls....ugh..... Any alternative suggestions on how to replace my Cola Jones? DD
Uhmm, Diet Coke, maybe Coke Zero, some other diet soda? I don't know, my soft drink of choice is Fresca.
Dude.........where have you been? Coke Zero has to be the best no calorie clone ever. Better than Diet Dr. Pepper even. Cherry Coke Zero is awesome too! Diet Coke tastes NOTHING like Coca Cola, but Coke Zero is as close as you can get without adding completely refined, empty calorie, diabetes inducing sweeteners.
I used to be a 6-pack of pepsi a day man. I switched out with Diet and within a month there was no difference in my mind. And I lost 40 pounds. Order Iced Tea when you go out instead of Coke, its amazing with a little lemon and some sweet-n-low. Avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup like the plague.
It's amazing to me that people still drink Diet Coke when Coke Zero exists. I'm still a Diet Moutain Dew junkie.
I like Diet Mountain Dew, but the fact that they list Vegetable Oil as one of the ingredients kinda freaks me out.
There is no easy path to giving up caffeine. But I encourage you to hang in there and stay off caffeine. The soda company is punishing you for stopping your consumption of their product. Get mad at 'em for it.
I have had Coke Zero and like it, but a few of them just wreck havoc on my stomach, I think giving up sodas all together is the best thing. I did it about 4 years ago, and kept away for over a year...lost 40 pounds, kept the weight off for a year as well, BUT...then I broke my ankle playing basketball and started drinking a coke a day, soon was back up to my 5 or 6 a day habit. And, guess, what? The weight came back...ugh. DD
maybe you shouldnt have a few of them? just one. i use to pound a good 5-8 cokes a day but now I just have 1 a day, usually with lunch. Although im not anticaffeine, i still have my coffee in the morning.
