diet coke / soda will cause bloating though. When I drink soda at all it's hard for my abs to be absolutely flat. I can stop drinking soda for a week and look like I have been at a gym for months.

It was rough, but after a month I felt much better.

damn caffeine withdrawal.

So let this be a lesson to all you young"uns out there. :p

so now I should cut back on the alcohol, too.

cheers!!

:beer:

You haven't really had withdrawal until you've experienced an EC stack withdrawal.

Edit: My buddy's father developed diabetes this way.

My name is Iron Woode, and I have a Coke problem.

:p

I am Canadian and I know several people that drink way more Coke than I ever did.

The caffeine also screws up your sleeping patterns too.

Occasionally I go on Coke benders, but I regret it the next day.
