the best thing to do is cut all cola's out cold turkey -- IF you HAVE to have some type of soda try Diet Rite - it comes in a variety of flavors and is made with Splenda. I use to drink 6 - 8 cans and litre bottles of soda daily -- I changed to Diet Rite last summer when I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes - since I started Atkins in January I have TRIED to drink Diet Rite 2 - 3 times and have never been able to finish more than a couple sips.

Instead of caffeine change over to pure water -- (quit rolling your eyes!) it is better for you, doesn't contain any of the crap sodas have and won't make your joints hurt. You are suppose to be breaking your habits, not feeding them with something else.
