for those that drink coffee...
How does it relate to water or other liquids you drink on a regular basis?
I currently drink 75-100+ ounces of water a day and usually 2 cups of coffee a day (if I wind up having one after 6pm I grab a decaf - and they are usually 8-10 ounces) - sometimes a cup of tea...don't really drink anything else - maybe an ice tea once in a blue moon (and maybe a glass of wine once a month)
Lately I am finding myself craving more coffee...I usually put about 2 tablespoons of either half and half, plain coconut milk creamer or vanilla almond milk in it - so a cup for me comes out to be anywhere from 20-50 calories depending on what I choose

I drink coffee throughout the day. My dad always did, too. I drink it either black or with some heavy cream in it. I can't stand anything sweet in it. I don't drink it to wake up and stay alert during the day. At least not anymore. I stopped getting sleepy during the day when I went Primal. I just truly enjoy the taste (I wish it tasted like it smelled!!!)
You could be feeling the caffeine addiction. I don't consider that a truly bad thing - there are much worse things to be addicted to. The body will become conditioned to the caffeine.
My average is at least 24oz in the AM. Sometime in the PM I might get another 12oz. And then sometimes my man will make an evening pot and I'll drink a bit from that, too. Doesn't affect my sleep. I don't get jittery at all. Yes I will get a slight headache if I don't have it but that doesn't bother me any.
It's great for IFs, too. If my tummy starts rumbling I'll grab a cup and it will take care of it.0 -
I drink about 12 oz of coffee with a heavy dose of half and half every morning. I just quit drinking it sweet when I went primal and that's working out fine. I don't want to give up coffee. Please, don't make me...I need it. It's practically my only vice left! :brokenheart:
My only other regular beverages are 2 cups of almond milk and 48-64 oz of water every day.0 -
I drink more than I probably should. I drink half a pot of coffee every morning, and somtimes I'll get a cup mid-day through work.
I also drink a couple cups of herbal tea every night.
But I do drink lots of water. I don't really know how much exactly, I just keep a water bottle with me all day refill every couple hours.0 -
I drink about 12 oz each morning black with stevia, and have black tea later in the day if I want some caffeine. For me as much as I love coffee I find that if I drink to much I don't get enough water.0
