Hmm...i need to read on that. So why is it an ingredient in most diet pills ??

Is it specified on South Beach as in caffeine in general or if it's contained in soda and coffee related specifically with the sugar contents or how much sugar one adds in coffee or tea ? All I know medically and scientifically, there is a rationale and caffeine's mechanism of action to it being a stimulant and by fact that sugar due to one's insulin metabolism etc is the one that causes cravings

I am open to learn though.....

South Beaach allows you 2 caffeinated drinks per day b/c caffeine stimulates insulin production and can cause cravings for sugary/starchy treats. The South Beach Diet is based around the glycemic index.
