im just getting started working out again. I am at my heaviest weight as I got married 8 months ago and kind of let myself go. My one problem I know I'm going to have is soda. I drink a couple sodas everyday as I don't drink coffee. Any suggestions for something with caffeine but not the sugar that soda has.

Thanks!

    I would love to know the answer to this myself which seems everyone just says tea. I myself cannot drink unsweetened tea so i just drink water.

    I used seltzer water to replace soda. I know it doesn't solve the caffeine problem, but it may work if you want the bubbly of soda without the sugar.

    I always heard Diet soda is just as bad for you as regular soda...

    It's an urban myth
    You're more likely to drown from drinking too much of the water thats in it before anything else has an effect.

    Truth. Just drink the diet soda. Life's too short to believe silly myths & not drink what you like.

    As long as you are within your calories you are fine to drink it, or switch to diet to save the calories. Nothing wrong with pop.

    I was raised on sweet tea but now it is green tea. It was a shift but not living in pain and perhaps dying early is a plus in my view. Diet soda seems to be a wild card for some people so only you can decide yes or no.

    You really don't need the caffeine, either. Try it for a week. No soda. No caffeine.

    I think you'll be surprised to find you can do it for another week ... and then another ... and ...
