Coffee is bad for my thyroid. Three days off of it and my metabolism is getting fired up again. Same type of foods I'd been eating for months but no coffee. I can thank a SW member for giving me that clue.

@cherokeepatti: Wow! I have hypothyroidism. I wonder if I should try that?

@Meowsolini: It wouldn't hurt to try it. I am not drinking tea either except for herb tea and started drinking Teeccino, a coffee substitute made with carob and chicory. The chicory and carob are very healthy for detoxing the liver.

@cherokeepatti: Hmmm...did you drink a lot of coffee? I only drink some in the morning but not a lot.

@Meowsolini: I was drinking about 2 cups at the most. I guess I was sensitive to it. The person that told me said it would affect thyroid if I drank a lot and didn't think one or two cups would bother it. But my metabolism is firing up again (I can feel it when I go to sleep, and I wake up really thirsty which is another sign it's fired up)... My weight has been the same for several weeks even though I've stuck with my same meal plan.

@Meowsolini: I think it was affecting cortisol levels and adrenal levels as well. I have more energy now than I've had in a few weeks.
