To Coffee or not to Coffee...now that IS the question.

I always knew that cortisol was a weight gain culprit but I never knew that my morning cup of coffee was raising my cortisol levels. Big bummer! I'm not really after the caffeine rush, I like the texture of coffee and the warmth. Tea just doesn't cut it and I don't want to start my morning off with a shake, it's too cold. Thanks a lot Dr. Ed. (He is on the scientific advisory board at Evolv.) So after mulling it over all night I came up with a solution. Everyone talks about how much they like the Thin, which is not part of my fuel program, so I thought, "Hey, what if I heat up a Thin in the morning, like hot Tang?" Well, I gave it a try this morning and it worked out just fine. So I am feeling thinner already and still get my warm drink in the morning.  It is unfortunate, however, that I am the morning coffee maker. My son was none to pleased when he awoke and found a cold coffee pot with yesterdays coffee in it. I tried to inspire him to quit, but to no avail.  I am only glad I left the house before I had to smell the freshly brew elixir.  I'm only trying this for 82 more days. If I still have a mid-life pouch, I'm going back to my coffee.
