I'm swapping out some soda for cups of green and peppermint tea with zero calorie sweetner. Green in the morning to give me a little boost of energy and peppermint at night to curb appetite and relax me before bed.

Thanks Liliann! I don't blame you for taking back the coffee!! Do you use sugar in it? Maybe try zero calorie sweetner instead.

I hear you about needing your coffee! With me, it's diet soda. I had a goal to quit, quit for a little while, then returned to it. I know it's unhealthy, but as a senior who is disabled, I have few pleasures in life. Good luck!

I definitely need coffee. This is my trick for fooling myself into believing I'm having a calorie rich, sweet mocha coffee:

3 Truvia packs
5 tsp. powder creamer
1 packet of Swiss Miss DIET cocoa
Make sure you mix the three things above BEFORE you add the coffee, so you don't get cocoa floating on the top. It is SO good - does not taste diety at all.

I've been trying to switch soda and energy drinks for iced tea mixed with green tea! Hoping to cut sugar intake and increase energy in a natural way :)
