It seems that the answer to life's problems might be to work out more and consume more caffeine. That is definitely a solution I can learn to embrace since caffeine and I are best buds (thanks, college, for the introduction, by the way).
In an interesting article, there is mention that "[i]t is not just pounds you stand to lose when you hit the gym — your DNA also loses chemical modifications in the form of methyl groups... a similar effect is seen in cells given a high dose of caffeine." The aforementioned article goes on to quote a doctor as explaining that "[c]affeine releases calcium... and it sort of mimics a contracting muscle." While the article does mention that this finding "does not imply that drinking coffee could be a replacement for exercise," it does seem to me that my road to weight loss might be a bit quicker by working out and uping my dose of morning tea.
