I'm confused about coffee
Replies

I only drink coffee because of the supposed antioxidants in it. I've never developed an addiction to it, I don't like the taste that much. I drink it for the benefit. Also coffee itself is not a drug, the caffeine and other possible chemicals(such as added sugar) in it are the drug. I drink my coffee black. I feel like creamer water down the taste, but I prefer the black better. Its not sweet to me so I don't develop an addiction. I drink a cup or three when it is available to me. I never added sugar to my food or drinks, just as I never add salt.0

Ok, I don't get the mug. "You may speak. I have to poop." ?
the lines are like a liquid level gauge...like on a fuel tank?0 -
Better than crack.

For me personally, I have one 8 oz serving of coffee a day with soy milk during the week. I rarely drink coffee on the weekends.
I found your post really helpful. Do you use water and soy in your coffee or is that 8oz soy milk? I was concerned about the amount of soy i was drinking as I was drinking 1-2 cups of 10oz of lite soy milk and 2 teaspoons of coffee per 10oz.... (did that make sense? hehe) anyway, I think it was upping my calorie count, and I was concerned about all that soy! I don't like my coffee any other way.....
I apologize if this comes across as rude, and I admit I haven't had any coffee yet. Am I reading this right? If so, you were having 1-2 SIPS (2 teaspoons is one sip) of coffee per day, and think you had symptoms from cutting that out. Sorry, but that would be psychosomatic.
No no... That's how I make my cup of coffee - 1 to 2 teaspoons of coffee in the cup. Add ten oz of heated soy milk. Drink the WHOLE CUP ;-) hehe0 -
Mmm coffee.
Black coffee blended with some coconut oil, butter, and a few tablespoons of Heavy Whipping Cream.

I'm having heart palpitations just thinking about quitting coffee. That's crazy thinkin!!0
-
Any suggestions on how to get used to drinking it black?0

My coffee of choice is ONE espresso in the morning (and not at any other time of the day!). Because Italians don't have time to sip.0

Coffee saved my life after I had a baby lol0

Not quitting coffee! Not even gonna drink it black. It's one of the things I allow myself.
It is addictive, though, because of the caffeine. Decaf should be illegal though. WHY!?0 -

No.
Weight loss fuel? Only when I'm constipated. It's MAGIC, I tell ya. :laugh:
Other than that, not a weight loss "potion."0 -
If the worst thing I do is consume too much coffee I'm perfectly fine with that.
I drink lots of coffee
I love the taste
It helps me not hurt the stupid people I work with
YEP. I work overnight, and sometimes that good cup of coffee is the only thing that gets me through my shift without murdering anyone.
As long as I keep it under 2 cups (large mugs), I don't notice any untoward effects. I just put a little half and half, and agave or hot cocoa mix in it, for under 100 cals total per cup.0 -

I guess you were using instant coffee? I never could stand the stuff...0 -
I would drink coffee 2-3 times a day everyday...I haven't had coffee for about a month straight because I decided to whiten my teeth because they were yellow from coffee.. yuck!! They are much more whiter now and my breath doesn't stink anymore...but I've been reading some of the posts and some people have mentioned not having bad breath when drinking it black! I ought to try that..but through a straw :-)
btw I read in an article a while back that coffee is going to be extinct by 2080 due to global warming.
probably why starbucks is all go green now and etc...they don't want to be out of business by then!0 -
BLACK COFFEE.
I don't know why people seem to not like coffee breath :P0 -
Try the Ancient Grains Almond Granola from Costco. It has no cafeene, but it will solve the constipation issue. Tastes good too.0

Yeah I had to go and read that again too...You are only drinking 2 tsp of coffee (in other words, 10 mL or 1/3 oz) of coffee? Um, that's nothing. Like literally, nothing. Could you even taste the coffee? Anyway, that's definitely not anywhere close to enough to be addicted to.
Unless I too, am inadequately caffeinated and reading that wrong.
Yeah you read that wrong I'm not a psycho haha
I use 1 to 2 teaspoons of instant coffee in a mug of lite soy milk then I drink the entire contents of the mug0 -
I don't drink Alcohol at all, gave it up 23 years ago. I don't drink Soda's or rarely do, I really don't have any "vices" BUT my Wife told me "You should give up coffee, you drink too much of it and you're too addicted to it", to which I replied "But then you'd all be dead:bigsmile: " Coffee is the one thing I will not mess with, it is my thing and I have it however I feel like having it that day. Sometimes Black, sometimes with cream & sugar, sometimes all foo foo'd up but it's MINE!!!!0
