If a little coffee would make it possible for you to remain true to my dietary recommendations, I would not have a strong objections. . . . It is just that hgher amounts of caffeine do not make it easier to control your appetite and food cravings . . . they make it harder.

I don't drink coffee at all and have tea every once in while so this was not an adjustment for me.
I can tell you that it is hard to eat out on this diet. A friend took me out for dinner at a marvelous Greek restaurant earlier tonight. I ordered a Greek salad with no feta cheese. I had a little hummus on the side.
It's a new adventure in a way because it forces me to see food in a different way -- not used to eating lots of veggies and fruits every day.
