    Coffee is my unrestricted pleasure. I made it free. I don't count the 5 calories per cup (I like it BLACK!) and I drink as much as I want. And I buy the good stuff. It is my freedom and joy when I feel like other "treats" are restricted. It has worked wonders!

    I drink up to 4 monsters a day :/

    That's what I do. Even my 4 year old knows not to talk to me until I've had one in the morning

    Coffee is fine to drink basically as much as you want as long as you're drinking it black. It's low in calories and gives you the caffeine you want and some studies show it actually has antioxidants in it which can help ward off illness. I make iced coffee and mix it with gold standard mocha cappuccino protein powder in place of creamer and I love it. I get my caffeine in the morning and my protein supplement.

    If anything I find it helps to curb cravings. Drinking coffee fills me up and satisfies me when I'm bored or a bit peckish (when I'm most likely to be craving something!). Diet coke/pepsi etc. is sweet enough that it helps to curb any cravings for chocolate etc. for me.

    I hate soda, but I need coffee/tea in my life, especially when I want something sweet. I mean... I'm half italian. I can't help but love me some caffeine.
