caffeine to be or not to be

[flower 2]

Can someone tell me why on every diet I have been on the list is long why do they all say no caffeine what does it have to do with weight loss and appetite please someone reply just because I love tea and my coffee.< /p>

From what I've read, caffeine can increase your appetite. However, this is not the case for me. I don't deny myself caffeine 'cause love coffee, lattes, etc.

Another consideration is whether it remains a zero calorie mild stimulant or the user turns their cuppa joe into some kind of high fructose flavored sugar enhanced speed-ball condiment~dessert with plenty of calories from dairy fat added too...

I'm in the zero-calorie club. I'm a Splenda girl.

I notice that caffiene, specifically coffee spikes my insulin and I'm really hungry an hour after drinking it.

The lap band nutritionist I met with told me that they caution against caffiene because you have to then sip on even more Water throughout the day to make up for the Water loss, as caffiene is a duretic. Becoming dehydrated is an issue.

Hehehehhwhwhw

Guys do you call drinking lattes a caffeine consumption???

I used to drink 5 cups of BLACK coffee, not the Dunkin Doughnts kinda of black coffee, but European black coffee (sort of like esspreso). And it had killed me over the years (although I enjoyed it):biggrin1:

I know that caffeine gives you lots of heart burn, stomach acid, espically if consumed with no food before, and it dehydrates you A LOT...just as leener said

Quit the caffeine, trust me its better to quit it, plus you will never have to use those sleeping pills again once you do:sorry:

Coffee/lattes/etc. do not keep me awake. I can drink one and fall asleep 10 minutes later. Please don't lump everyone into the same category. Everyone is different.

Sorry, but this made me laugh out loud. Jack, you are a funny guy

as for coffee, I quit off it for about a month after surgery, and weaned myself off before surgery but am back to my 4 cups before noon schedule now. Doesn't bother me at all.
