Master Betty Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spEEdfrEEk Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 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: So what's the deal with decaf only while on Atkins?

XX-Axis Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spEEdfrEEk Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 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..
