    You sir have convinced me. I was already on the fence...but I'll keep my coffee. Thanks for the motivation :wink:

    Interesting search results. Cortisol is a stress hormone - but I usually feel less stressed after a good dose cup. I wonder if that's a reaction that different people might experience differently.

    Me too. I find coffee relaxing. I'm ADD though, so not a shock. My only health concern re:coffee is buying organic because conventional coffee has a lot of chemicals on it and fair trade for the same reason I try to get cage free or (better) free range eggs.

    I drink at least 2 cups of black coffee a day and my tummy is fine.

    A latte is my daily treat; I have a medium size-one with skim milk foamed on top. With one stevia packet added in, that amounts to about 130 calories, but it also quells my two greatest cravings, which are for chocolatey sweetness and cream; plus the caffeine can give me a great energy burst for a workout (or just for staying the hell awake for the workday, lol!). I also love tea with milk, Anglophile that I am, so I often have one decaf Earl Grey "for dessert" after dinner. Any other milk I consume (e.g., in protein smoothies) is cashew, for the sake of cutting some calories. May sound meager, but for me these small sweet treats are a big help in hanging on.

    I've almost completely made the switch from coffee to tea! I only have half a cup in the morning made with milk. I switched cause I started have heart palpitations irregularly and wasn't sure what was causing them. So, tea is a better alternative!

    Black coffee with or without a zero calorie sweetener will not affect your weight at all. If anything, it may help to reduce water retention.

    No but for real, you should click my name, have a look at my food diary, and then go back to the street and slap whoever gave you that information.

    Tea is better to me, but not for weight loss reasons

    Not drinking coffee for me =
    1. Better complexion (yay!!!)
    2. Amazing bowel movements (tmi I know)

    Everyone is different though :)
