First, try to stop using caffeine. Caffeine makes it a little more difficult to lose the weight. If you have a hard time quitting the caffeine kick - take my advice:
Pour half caffeine and half decaffeinated for a week. The next week, do 3/4 decaffeinated and 1/4 caffeine. After that, you should be okay to stop using caffeine altogether.
That's how I did it and it worked out fine. This has worked for many very close friends of mine and they’re really glad I let them in on this little secret. I used to drink at least forty ounces of coffee every morning. If I can do it, you can do it.
If you absolutely cannot stop drinking caffeine, don’t worry. This way of life works differently with each individual. Some people can continue using caffeine without any trouble at all. To be honest, I didn’t stop drinking caffeine until recently. I still lost my weight, but I would have lost it faster if I’d stopped sooner. Caffeine just makes it more of a challenge.
Even now, I still get a little caffeine every now and then. When I go out to eat, Iced Tea is hard to find in decaffeinated form and most of the low carbohydrate chocolate bars have caffeine. A little caffeine here and there isn’t making any difference for me. Feel it out – everybody is different.
