[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why no caffeine?[/quote]

This is OP.  For a few reasons, I quit caffeine when I quit alcohol and since then I’ve seen the weight loss accelerate. Not here to debate, but I get/got a lot of good information from the decaf subreddit.  Many people report similar, and the theory is that caffeine increases cortisol in the body, which makes it more difficult to lose weight.

Otherwise, I always drank coffee with cream and sugar so a convenient way to avoid those extra calories.

For reference, I’ve always been active and at a healthy weight, but am overweight currently due to downstream insulin resistance from my last pregnancy (I had gestational diabetes).  I’m nearly two years postpartum. Three kids.

For people saying 1100 is low: it appears I have to keep my caloric intake this low to lose.  Eating 1500 calories a day would not enable weight loss, for me. I don’t really feel hungry.  I drink a lot of water and tea, and prioritize vegetables. I haven’t cut out any food groups entirely, but keep grains/breads/processed carbs to one serving a day (or less).

Thanks all for the helpful feedback![/quote]
