Lotus,
A few posts back you said "try to cut all caffeine." What's the basis for this statement? Personal experience, advice, a study or something else. Being a big coffee drinker this issue is of interest.
Best

Hi Alexis,
I've gone back and forth on coffee (it's a phytoestrogen), I'll list a couple links that should help. I also have more technical info and info that contradicts that info, yes lol confusing. So this is both from experience and studies (I love coffee too) however once I cut back and eventually eliminated caffeine (which effects aromatase) I saw the shape change for the better. I will say I think that caffeine stresses the adrenals which restricts blood flow and also constricts growth. (Coffee effects iron absorption too).
How Does Caffeine Affect Estrogen Levels?

Can Caffeine Cause a Hormonal Imbalance?

Coffee depletes magnesium

Ps. I'll try to post more later, (short on time)

Well, over a year ago when I started my program I replaced my coffee with tea on weekdays and only had coffee on weekends mornings. I did not do it based on scientific data, I did it 'cause my body told me so. Now I still prefer tea over coffee, but sometimes I have a latte (espresso in it) to replace my lunch and I love it. I cut my weight from 154# to 145#. So final conclusion for me is-Follow your Bliss.
It has an edge over logic.
Paradoxically we also need scientific data and research and Lotus is very good at it.
