I am the same way, and I decided not to give up caffine. I did cut down to 2 coffees a day and 3 diet cokes a day. I know coffee causes cravings but I manage. This is not a fad diet, this is a way of life, and couldn't see myself not drinking caffein for the rest of my life. I may lose a tiny bit slower, but I have so much to lose that it will not make a big diff to me... But this is my opinion only..
