colinda_drainer said: "Sounds good!
But, does anyone know a healthy alternative to coffee to keep me awake during a long dreary day at the office?? I recently cut out sugarfree red-bull, but am now onto a cup of coffee every hour! Not so good as I make it with four heaped teaspoons of coffee whitener which is made from animal fats!!"

You can find it at most health stores, I believe.
You drink it a half an hour before you eat and it helps to ease your appetite."
Cupcake said: "I like to drink throughout the day instead of sodas when I'm thirsty because I've heard it has a lot of antioxidants in it and it helps speed up the metabolism. I don't know if its true or not, but it tastes good!"

UniqueMystique said: "Other than frequent potty breaks...I think it's all natural...so there shouldn't be any side effects."
UniqueMystique said: "If you find a way to kick the caffeine habit...I wanna know! I'm a soda drinker. I've managed to cut it back to about one a day now...but I can't seem to let go of that morning glassful. At least it's diet though. Seems like when I do try to go without it completely....I end up with horrible headaches and the first thing I do is pop a couple of Excedrine....mostly made up of caffeine. :("

Leah20 said: "I quit drinking coffee at the same time I quit smoking. I had a few REALLY rough weeks. Now it's great though. I have no problem staying awake at work. The only thing you have to do is make sure you get enough sleep. I always get 8 hours now and I don't miss the coffee at all.
I still have the occasional cup at starbucks but it's not something I use to keep me going anymore..."
lotusleaf said: "im weaning myself off caffeine, being english im a great tea drinker, i probably drink about 10 cups a days, sometimes more :( ive started to drink 2 litres of water a day and space out my cups of tea, yesterday i only had 3 and survived. I never drink sodas or diet drinks as a pal of mine became addicted to pepsi max, i think the best thing to do is stick to the water."
