So what's the deal with decaf only while on Atkins?

It's killing me! :mad: I'm a miserable slob if I go to work without it!

Does it really affect your blood sugar levels? After reading some of the other posts I decided to switch to green tea but that's off limits according to the diet as well.
:evil:
Please don't tell me I need to switch to coke :lol:

Caffeine is fine on a low carb diet. It's actually beneficial if taken
in modest amounts. (it causes the release of free fatty acids which
are then used for energy..)

:cool: TJ :cool:

You just made my day! :grin:

Thanks, TJ

Atkins also says no alcohol but I stuck by my Bacardi Diets (zero carbs) and the pounds still came off. I found it to be a very effective appetite suppressant.

One of the _original_ low-carb diets was done by an individual
who had a strong propensity for hard liquor.

I can't remember the guys name, but I'll try to dig up the article.

I think it dated from the 1860's or so..
