Pop varies, but generally has 40-60 mg of caffeine. Coffee is as much as triple that, and interferes with my sleep and mood..

Unless someone at work is a coffee enthusiast, what you're drinking is most likely shitty coffee (myth #1: coffee is supposed to be bitter.) Everything I've seen points to sucralose being safe and healthy as a sugar substitute (and really, substituting just about anything short of cyanide for most of the sugar in our diets is healthier than the sugar is) and stevia is safe, healthy, and tastes a hell of a lot better. Grab a bottle of liquid stevia and put a few drops in coffee, see how it tastes. If you need the caffeine to get through 12 hour days you probably already have a tolerance built.

I suspect it was the "other type" that led to the weight loss, not cutting out diet soda.
