Caffeine increases cortisol. Increased levels of cortisol can lead to weight gain (survival adaptation?).

When I was most ill I could not handle any caffeine at any time of the day. It would make me nervous, cause blood sugar to drop suddenly, and exacerbate insomnia.

Coffee is still a little strong, but I can drink a lot of green/oolong tea and the energy is pretty smooth.
