Losing that Weight

I learned the hard way how not to lose weight for IVF. I was drinking a lot of coffee, enough to bring Picasso to shame. Now that I'm going through caffeine withdrawal, the message is clear. Coffee holds back weight loss.

Part of this is due to the fact that caffeine reduces rest levels, and you have to get sleep to lose weight. Another reason is that it causes changes in your chemistry. Of course, I have been losing weight by other means, basically careful dieting and meal planning. But the key to my weight loss has been a combination of things.
