You should try and loose the soda and drink lots of water instead. Coffee is strongly discouraged on induction but many people have been successful without giving up their coffee. DRINK TONS of water. You can try the Crystal Geyser sparkling water -- it is very much like a soda without the artificial sweetner!

If you were *starving* at dinner, maybe try slowing down a bit and let your food hit bottom so you don't eat too much beef. The cravings go away soon.

Good Luck.
