The thing with coffee
Hi everybody
I'm not sure if my previous posting with the same question reached the group- can't find it, so I am trying again. I wanted to know what the thing about coffee is. Some people say it slows down your metabolism. Is coffee really bad for your diet? (I drink a lot!) Thanks JS |

Thanks JS Among experts, there are very contradictory opnions on whether coffee with caffeine is good or bad for you. I drijkn 4-8 European cups a day (half that for American). Part of that is decaf. I've lost 44 pounds in 7 months, do I'm not worried about its effects on my metabolism. I use skim milk for my coffe, that makes a significant difference compared to creamer. |

Thanks JS Coffee can make it hard to sleep at night and see the thread on sleepiness. No food affects how your thyroid gland works. Caffeine is a brain stimulant and it gives you the jitters if you drink too much. |

Thanks JS It might slow down your metabolism, it might stimulate it. It might increase hunger pains, or it might not. Every body is different. I can drink coffee all day long but it will keep me awake. Doesn't make me hungry. For you, it might put you to sleep but make you feel starving. I don't know. It's just different for different people. You will figure out wether or not it's something you should drink, or not. |

I've been into body building a bit over the last few years and the wisdom
from that part of the world at least says coffee and caffeine are not really an issue. Diets I've seen put no restriction on coffee intake, and those guys are super-obsessed about what they put into their bodies. In fact caffeine in conjunction with ephedrine is used as a fat loss supplement by some bodybuilders. Some of the studies: Hobbs L, Ford EH, "Ephedrine & Caffeine: The Ideal Diet Pill?", Irvine, C.A. Pragmatic Press (1996) Astrup A, et al. "The Effect of Ephedrine/Caffeine Mixture on Energy Expenditure and Body Composition in Obese Women." Metabolism: Clinical and Experimental (1992). I'm not into the supplement side so much, but I have not eliminated coffee from my diet and have managed to lose body fat ... as well as put on a bit of little muscle So relax and have a cup. Any effect I imagine would be negligible to the real battle ground which is, in my opinion - number of calories consumed. |

Thanks JS Coffee can make it hard to sleep at night and see the thread on sleepiness. No food affects how your thyroid gland works. Caffeine is a brain stimulant and it gives you the jitters if you drink too much. I have to correct myself. We all know that if you don't get iodine in your diet, you get goiter which is a swelling of the thyroid gland. However, it has nothing to do with how your thyroid regulates your metabolism, IIRC. |
