I'm still not convinced that dropping coffee speeds up weight loss.
Maybe because I am afraid to give up my coffee! But I am still losing at a great rate with 2-3 cups of joe a day. I do believe that alcohol of any kind slows down weight loss, and do not indulge anymore. T |

I don't know if it does or not. I gave up regular coffee years ago because of my reaction to the caffeine. Now, I'm strictly an unleaded girl, unless hubby is home. He says he can't stand the stuff and we have to fix regular for him. If he's only home for a couple of days, I have no problem. But if he's home for a week or so, and I drink his coffee, I'm in for a week or two of withdrawal after he leaves. Don't know about the weighloss -- I'm usually in too much pain to care until it's over. ;-) We try to pay more attention to it now that I've put two and two together and figured out what was going on. -- BlueBrooke 254/234/135 |

It's possible to lose weight and drink alcohol, but you have to be doing a ton of exercise. So, unless I do a lot of physical labor and exercise, I don't imbibe. -- Bob in CT |

I have 2 words for anybody else who might happen to be in my situation: Dandy Blend. www.dandyblend.com . A couple of friends who've had issues with coffee but also "refused" to give it up (like me), now swear by the stuff also. -- Sherry lowcarb.owly.net |

Alcohol has way more calories than coffee w/o cream and/or sugar. I've been drinking black coffee, and there are few calories in it. Alcohol, on the other hand, is a minimum of 70-80 calories just for a shot. -- Bob in CT |

I know what you're getting at, but Dr. Atkins said in his book that the body will work on digesting the alcohol before anything else and that is what stalls the weight loss. I am not 'getting at' anything. I just thought they were carbs. Don't put words into my mouth please! |
