Caffeine raises the insulin level in your body
which gives you that immediate, but short-term
energy boost. With that high-powered insulin
fix going, you are more likely to crave foods
high in sugar, or eat more of anything, in fact.

Getting rid of caffeine, or reducing your intake,
lessens the symptoms of PMS (bloating, craving,
moodiness, breast tenderness, headaches, insomnia).

Getting caffeine out of your system also reduces
breast fibrocystic disease.

Asparatame and saccharin also increase food cravings,
while refined sugar screws the insulin, too.

Me? Heck, I'm no saint. I get my own beans --
half caffeinated, half de-caf - and grind my own.
Drink de-caf diet soda, though I'm weaning off of
it and slowly switching to green tea (iced).

I use very little refined sugar, usually only in
my cereal. Two teaspoons of the good-tasting stuff
is worth it.

My two cents.
