Caffeine is good for you, according to Ray Peat. I agree. Mayo Clinic dot com says there is no such thing as "worn out adrenals". Just an urban legend.
As we know from Dr K, their are four diet zones to be in. High carb, high fat is the worst zone. This is the Matt Stone recommendation, the worst zone. Going high carb, low fat is better, and going high fat, low carb, is best.

There are a lot of ways to lose weight. I'm interested in losing weight permanently. That said, I am not willing to eat like the Inuits. I have a social life that is important too, my life is not just about nutrition. I would probably lose my girlfriend if I went on all meat for the rest of my life. So I am left with identifying the hypothesis that fits ALL observations regarding nutrition. So far what I listed in the first post covers 80% of it. At least for preventing obesity, for someone already obese I'm not sure.
All the research you will find supporting the use of Caffeine are not related to chronic use of Caffeine. This word "chronic" is the key to a better understanding of the results of scientific experiments in nutrition.
Regarding adrenals, it looks like you are right.

As for "diet zones". There is simply no science behind this concept.
