    It's fine for you, lots of benefits to drinkin coffee.

    Assuming you're not loadin it with cream, sugar or other things........

    Coffee is fine.... it is what you put in it that is the problem.

    A 1-tbsp. serving of sugar adds 49 calories, half-and-half adds 20 calories and whipped cream adds 52 calories to your coffee.

    Coffee is good for the body. However, there are studies that says too much coffee is also bad. So I suggest that aside from the coffee you are addicted, try some easy healthy meals.

    I love coffee as well, but from a nutitional standpoint you really want to limit how much you have as it builds up acids in your

    stomach and slows your bodies digestive system. . . alcohol does this as well. . . So make sure that you limit how much and drink

    plenty of water along with it as each cup depletes your body of 2 cups of water. . .Good luck.

    Too much is probably not a good idea, but in moderation it helps speed up the metabolism post-workout.

    Caffeine addict here, since 1992! By the way, I was 7 in 1992. I remember being in the second grade and filling out the food pyramid. I asked, "Where do I put coffee?" All my classmates were like you drink coffee?? I thought it was normal for a child to drink coffee! Must be a Mexican thing to feed your young children coffee. :P

    I used to not drink coffee, but now I find myself drinking nearly a pot every morning. I use the low fat creamer and splenda. Coffee also acts as an appetite suppressor for me.

    Yep, addicted! I used to drink a lot but I've cut down a bit. I work overnights so I have to be careful I don't drink coffee before leaving at 7a. I have 1 cup when I wake up around 3 or 4p, 1 cup around 7 or 8p, and another cup before I leave for work at 10:30p.

    All I put in my coffee is 1 packet of sweetner and I sprinkle some cinnamon powder in the grounds before brewing.

    Better then energy drinks most college students drink. Also it is takes my headache away. But make sure drink lots of water, as coffee mAkes u pee. I love my espresso or turkish coffee on the stove. Btw in Greece they served me strong black coffee and glass of h2o right away, custom. Nice.

    coffee, one of lifes great pleasures...i used to drink a pot before work, stop and get a sweetbay grande mudslide, and when i finished that start on the second pot at work...but no more...my nutricianist has limited me to 2-3 8 oz. cups a day, and it must be decaf...it does the trick and i am getting used to it, and when i feel like a mocha i add half a scoop of cholcolate unjury protein powder...i was taken off regular due to the cafeine content, it is bad for the kidneys and causes the body to retain water and still dehydrate you at the same time...so weird how that happens...btw, lack of caffeine has been a migraine trigger of mine since i was 12, and when i stopped caffinated coffee it caused horrible migraine...but, after a couple of weeks it started to lighten up and all is good...no more lack of caf headaches...good luck honey!!!
