In all seriousness, probably between 2 or 3, depending on my work schedule. I can feel the headache if I don’t get my morning coffee.

I’ve stopped drinking Coke or any equivalent drink last year, lost 7kg since then.

I actually gained about 12 kg when I stopped with the coke. The reason is that I drank it not only because of thirst, but also because it sated my hunger to a degree. Without it, I was much more hungry and had much bigger meals (and also started eating in between meals), especially early on. A similar thing happened before when I tried to switch to diet coke, but not as extreme, only about 5 kg. I still need to drink something sugary from time to time for my appetite not to become overbearing, though now it's mostly fresh juices which I thin down a bit with sparkling water, especially apple juice.

I used to drink 1 soda can per day, but then I moved countries and they don't have my soda of choice. Plenty of Cola here, but it is quite expensive anyways.

Anyways I am always mindful of Protein> Sugar, so even if I gain weight it is healthy weight and not just Sugar carbs.
