Coffee increases cortisol? Decaf too? Nooooooooooo. Coffee is my one weakness. (did you see Lark Rise to Candleford?)0

Just caffeine. And it's a bigger spike if you've been without for a while. You seem to adapt to the caffeine level, and the cortisol spikes are reduced with adaptation.0

Hooraaayyyy. I love adaptation. I'm adapted. I am, I am, I am

Yes, what a *beautiful* TV show that was! I always thought Lark Rise was the hamlet my grandmother was born and raised in. It wasn't, but they are both in Oxfordshire and about the same size, so that show particularly touched my heart.
And my weight report for this morning is down 100 grams (.2 of a lb). Yesterdays macros were C43 F92 P69 calories 1283. So fat was lower than my 123g goal and calories were a lot lower than my 1550 goal, but it was the first day of change. After all the weight gains I've had between 14th Apr and 5th May, I've actually been down 3 out of the last 4 days. ˅200, stayed the same, ˅500, ˅100. So it's possible that the 'dairy free except for butter' has had a positive effect, and it's definite that the higher carbs for 24 hours have not set me back. That's all I know for a fact at the moment
I still have 300g to go in order to equal my lowest-to-date-weight of 82.4 kgs / 181 lbs, which happened on 27th Apr. And perhaps I should point out that that hadn't been a sudden or massive drop, I'd inched my way down to it through hard work, not jamminess
[Being 'jammy' is a British term for undeserved fortune, and is normally pronounced in the brief sentence 'Jammy git!'.]
Cross-posting the final part to the '2 Ladies' thread.

I had so much dairy today, like a cup or more of sour cream and cheese. I suck at being dairy free, at least when I am trying. I had gone months without it up to this point. LOL0

lol....that's so funny. The cows in your vicinity aren't afraid you're going to eat them anymore, since they know you just want to milk them instead.....0

LOL @Goat Yup. The best way to crave something is to tell yourself you can't 0
