I drank at least two liters of dietCoke before I started on Atkins. Cold turkey was the way I handled it. I drank flavored and regular water instead. I missed it for a few days, but don't at all now. I make my own flavored water by mixing about 10 oz. of Fruit2O (made with Splenda) with 30 oz of plain water. Give it just the right amount of flavor without being overwhelmingly sweet.

How much coffee are you drinking? You may do better by weaning yourself off coffee slowly, especially if you are drinking a lot. Caffeine withdrawal can lead to headaches, mood swings, and digestion problems. Just make sure you drink lots of water to counteract those symptoms.



Quitting the caffeine is a good thing to do for your body!
