Caffeine and insulin response
I know that Atkins thought that caffeine causes an insulin response.
However, I also thought that hypothesis was studied and was refuted. On the other hand, I found this study, which implies that caffeine increases insulin resistance. Anyone know if this issue has been resolved one way or the other? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11478588 I ask because after reading Good Calories, Bad Calories, I'm going to renew my commitment to a low carb lifestyle. I just want to know if I need to quit coffee to help this process. -- Bob in CT |

All I can say is that it's been resolved for me ... I switched to decaf years ago. You're addicted to a powerful drug. Quitting caffeine is exactly like quitting any other hard-core drug. You go through withdrawal and miserable cravings for a while, then once you're "clean" and the dependency is over, your body returns to its normal state and you no longer need the psychological and physical "fix." You don't miss it and wonder how you were ever a slave to an invisible ingredient. --- Peter 270/217/180 |

Caffeine and insulin response
In article , Bob says...
I know that Atkins thought that caffeine causes an insulin response. However, I also thought that hypothesis was studied and was refuted. On the other hand, I found this study, which implies that caffeine increases insulin resistance. Anyone know if this issue has been resolved one way or the other? I've been LCing since August 2007. I didn't follow the Atkins program, just cut out all the white stuff (potatoes, rice, pasta, breads, etc). No beer or fruit juices, either. My waist has dropped over 4", which has caused me to make monthly trips to the clothing store to buy more pants that fit. My blood panels and glucose numbers have improved tremendously and my doctor is very happy with the results. I've continued to drink coffee (black--no additives). The jury on coffee consumption is still deciding whether or not it is good for us. I've been drinking the stuff for over 35 years--and I enjoy a good cup of coffee. I don't see myself dropping coffee from my daily routine anytime soon. Mark 280/225/200 |
