Milk or cream in coffee is fine at breakfast or between meals. Doesn't count as a meal if you're sensible about it.

Huge lattes with 2 cups of milk in them counts as a meal.

I cheated and had real sugar in my morning coffee. But it was a cheat and I knowlingly decided to do that. yeah drinking sugar coffee all day between meals is really a cheat and not allowed. unsweetened or artificial sweetener is best both in morning and between meals

Wow today I had lunch at 12 and then dinner at 8pm. I am shocked I was able to wait that long. As soon as I felt hungry I went for a long walk. Also the coffee helped me as well as the CL all day.

Tonight I had rice, veggies, and a bit of cheese. I even have DH eating some of my meals!

[Nessa84]

Well no more coffee for me. I drank a cup at 8am and it's now 2:30am and I'm wide awake. Looks like I won't be sleeping tonight. DS wakes up in 3.5 hours. Coffee is officially out of my sway.

[Nessa84]

Wow. It's 3am and because I'm wide awake I'm now starving since I've been up all night. First cheat only three days in. I'm so upset.

First cheat 3 days in is quite common so I really wouldn't worry. It's all about doing your best. It took me quite a while for cravings to calm down and sometimes they came back and I'd indulge in some cheesy chips or maybe a burger once a month but it's the best I could do. I now don't feel that hungry and have 2 meals a day but it's easier as my attempt is in a few days and I will treat myself when my af is due. I was having 1 coffee a day and I think I am going to drop it too as I'm not sure if it contributes to mood swings for me. I do drink diet coke and that has caffeine so I have to not drink that after 530pm too.
Hope you get some sleep!

Could I try decafe coffee instead of regular coffee? Will it have the save affects on my sway?

[chocolate]

I'm not sure really, I don't think caffeine either clearly swayed or didn't sway so I think it's up to you if you include it. I think some of us use it just because it keeps us going and helps when feeling run down. Although I didn't have one today and didn't miss it.

I can only drink decaf Nessa as I'm allergic to caffeine. I'm drinking it during my sway as I can't see it doing anything negative and it keeps me feeling a little fuller in the afternoons when I'm needing something in between my two meals.

[Nessa84]

What was it about coffee that helps a sway? The caffeine or the coffee bean or do we not actually know this yet ?
