Caffeine and Weight gain

Jana sent me this link, thought I might share.  Also talks about hypoglycemia.

Steph, this is interesting.  I've read about caffiene and eating and I've always used coffee to STOP the eating (it worked for me); however, reading this makes me go hmmmmm.  Since I'm dealing with eating ALLOT more than normal (read ~~ grazing way to darn much) I might try this......if my body doesn't freak out from little caffiene.

For years I've said that all "fat people" drink Diet Coke, myself included and there's finally proof that caffeine makes people crave carbs.  I just didn't know all the other effects it has on us.  I have drank Diet Coke non-stop for the past 6 months.  I didn't have any for the first year and now it's like I was pre-op.  And the GRAZING is back too.  Maybe we should try an experiment and see what would happen if we didn't touch it for a month.  Yikes, I don't know if I can do it????

I wish I could blame caffeine for my grazing.  I switched to caffeine free Diet Dr Pepper ages ago and a few months ago stopped the Dr pepper in favor of crystal lite but i still crave junk.  Wi**** weren't so.

Oh no Linda, say it ain't so!!  I have to blame my grazing on something, lol!!

Interesting.

I fear for my family and co-workers if I go without, though.
