Vegetable pasta
When I first saw the title of this post I was going to suggest spaghetti squash, but you guys beat me to it! Gawd, I'm hungry now!

Coffee Break?
So, I've been an avid coffee drinker since I was about 15. I'm talking like over half a pot each morning.

After reading a study saying that caffeine can make some people's bodies "insulin resistant" I have cut down to one cup a day (hey, it's only been a week & a half. *pats herself on back*)

& I've lost a pound! Ok, these last couple of weeks have not been typical. I'm working loads of overtime & upped my water intake, but I haven't been able to shed any weight at all.

So... maybe that can help you guys too. I had never ever thought that caffeine could hurt weight loss since it is there to give you energy, but it looks like it can have some pretty weighty side effects!

thoughts?

birth control
I am on the pill (reclipsen) & have been for a while. I know the increased estrogen makes you retain more water, but I'm wondering- aside from that- if it's hindering my weight loss in other factors as well.

When I search online, I only find message boards with other women complaining about weight gain.

Now, I haven't GAINED any weight, but feel like I'm busting my butt (I work out pretty regularly) to maintain weight.

I guess what I'm asking is, is it possible to LOSE weight while on birth control? Does anyone know of any studies done on the matter?

...or am I just making excuses?
