Kimm-ya gotta surf this board girlfriend!! LOL There is ALOT of information here for the reading. About the caffine question....I have not fully gave it up YET, but I went to lite coffee, and only decaf tea and I have bought the decaf coffee bags for a cup one in a while in the evening. Here is what Adkins states on page 127 of the New Diet Revolution Book:

"Excessive caffeine may cause unstable blood sugar and should be avoided by those who suspect they are caffeine dependent. (Now wait a minute....aren't we ALL caffeine DEPENDENT?! LOL) Everyone should try to avoid caffeine."

Keep doing what you are doing....it seems to be working wonderful for you!
