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.

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).

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.
