I drink a 12 cup pot of strong arabica every day. And it is NOT decaf!

Haven't read the entire thread yet but assume you're on Atkins. Have you had success even while drinking 12 cups which closely parallels what I drink daily? I have an old version of the Arkins diet in which he recommends 2 cups of salad per day on Level I. Now I'm told he's amended the diet and salad and coffee are no nos during the first fews weeks. Whatever I'm doing isn't working as the sticks remain beige.
