Hello! You dont have to give up your coffee. I know many MANY people on here write that they drink coffee regularly in their journal. I think that caffeine COULD cause a stalling point, but to many it doesnt.
I drink about 3-5 diet cokes a day and I am tryig to cut down but I love my diet coke.

Also--you dont have to give up the pasta, etc....just dont eat it for those first 2 weeks. Then you can slowly add them back into your menu!!!

Good luck!!!
