The Fat Smash diet sounds really good- especially since it's about lifestyle change and not just immediate weight loss.

How do most of you manage coffee? When I took ephedra pills, I attributed my lack of appetite to the ephedra, but now that I've started drinking coffee (2 cups a day thanks to having to get up ridiculously early) I've discovered that it might have been the caffeine. The main concern I had with drinking it was fat and sugar (starbucks lattes), but I have discovered the glory of McDonald's iced coffees, which they can make without flavoring syrup and with Equal instead of sugar (no help for the creamer). I'm a little worried about picking up a coffee habit despite those precatutions, as I've heard all my life that it's bad for you, but the appetite control is really, really helpful. For those of you who drop caffeine, how did it affect your weight-loss?
