I have been reading so many different opinions on the whole caffeine thing in relation to insulin levels and LC dieting, and I'm terribly confused!

My SO is really into researching the science behind body building and weight loss. He reminded me of the so-called "ECA stack" that so many people swear by. According to the folks that subscribe to that method of appetite suppression, the "C" part of the equation being caffeine, 200 mg. shouldn't effect the insulin levels in the blood and should help to stave off hunger pangs.

I was so afraid of not following Dr. Atkins diet to the letter that I quit drinking coffee altogether. Due to the severe headache I had the first day, I took a 200 mg. caffeine supplement which helped my head but now I'm worried that it may have had an adverse effect on my insulin level.

If anyone has any additional information or any more specific quidelines to follow while on the Induction phase, I would love to hear from you!
