Some people can successfully lose weight on LC even when drinking caffeinated coffee. But others can't. The caffeine causes some people to produce insulin, and even an insulin surge, and that leads to sharply lowered blood sugar and cravings for carbs.
So it's not so much the carb in the coffee itself, but the effect of the caffeine. Many people do better on decaf for that reason. You can start to cut down by mixing 'real' and decaf for a while, gradually increasing the decaf until that's all you use.
