Guest guest Posted November 9, 1999 Report Share Posted November 9, 1999 Lance, I wish I could say I avoided it! But I do drink 1 or 2 cans of diet coke a day. In the book I think Atkins says to quit for the first week to break the addiction but he says you can use it sparingly after that. I use it more than sparingly but not as much as I used to!

I usually have 2 pots a day. It doesnt stall me and I feel great, so I wont give it up. As for the diet soda, I usuall drink 1 a day with dinner.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 1999 Report Share Posted November 9, 1999 I never did drink much soda and I don't like coffee (unless it has chocolate in it!), so the main way I drank caffeine before starting this was through tea - and the occasional mocha. However, I had been drinking a lot of strong tea and some mochas in the weeks before starting this diet, so when I started I had withdrawal from caffeine as well as carbs and felt really awful for a few days. Now I pretty much don't drink caffeine at all, I get decaf tea and I avoid caffeine except for the occasional restaurant meal. I lose weight so slowly anyway that I'm avoiding anything that might cause a stall, plus it's not good for my blood pressure.
