how does coffe stall weight loss?

How does coffee stall weight loss? I am just wondering of anyone knows how that works. All I've been told is that is just does, and for that reason alone I managed to give it up (it was just as hard as I thought it would be, but the rumors are true - you do feel better without it!!). I can't really complain about my weight loss so far, I've lost 22 pounds, 10 inches off my tummmy (in 6 weeks) and I fit into clothes I haven't been able to wear for months!! And my back fat is shrinking, which I just can't tell you how much I love (haha). I should confess that I had a huge fall off the wagon this last weekend. There was beer, spinach dip with bread, but the worst was last night - we had chinese food (or as I call it, candy meat). And boy, did I feel awful. Not just guilty but physically sick, no energy, upset tummy, headache. That was a huge reminder of just how bad sugar and carbs are, one I won't soon forget. And I was doing so well!! At least it was situational (end of the season baseball party(ies)) and I know it won't happen again. ugh.
But other than that all is good! Can anyone answer the cofee question though? This one has bugged me for months.

p.s. I did the spit test for Candida, and it turned out positive. Not the worst news, but not the best either! At least I know, right?

Hiya Maeg, well you learned a hard lesson. Sometimes what we think are yummy adventures come back and bite us. Its just not worth the side effects. I think coffee affects everyone differently. Some people can still lose with it and some get stalled by it.
There are threads in here that show exactly what the effect is on the body, I have not given it up yet, but have cut down. I have no doubt that I would lose faster if I were not drinking it.

Hi..

Just a quick answer. It's not the coffee..it's the caffeine. Dr. A. says in many people caffeine causes an insulin response...Not a good thing as we know.

I always drink decaf..I buy really good decaf and love it.
