I'm the kind of person who drinks six diet sodas a day without even thinking about it. Recently, I decided it was time to cut back. I figured I'd drink only one a day and that I would drink it around dinnertime.
I never made it. I woke up in the morning with a splitting headache. I usually have a soda for breakfast and I skipped that. By lunch, everything seemed all weird and jumbled up. I felt sleepy mentally, as if I couldn't understand the things people were saying to me.
Point is, I must now drink 6 sodas a day everyday just to operate normally. It's too late for me but it doesn't have to be for you.

1. I used to love caffeine |

I'd drink at least 4 regular Pepsi's or Sprite's a day. However, I cut back and don't really drink any soda anymore. I despise Diet soda.
I try to drink Crystal Light lemonade, which is only about 10 calories a bottle. I also try to consume the standard 6-8 glasses of H2O daily.

why not go for 3 a day instead, and ween yourself off caffeine slowly (if that's what you want). Keep that first soda of the day, if thats what you need to get going.
I used to drink a bunch of Mountain Dew on a daily basis, but I pared myself back to 2 sodas a day, with at least 64 oz. of water . I feel it was a good compromise for me.
