re: A question about Caffeine....

[Guest guest]

My best friend. LOL I used to drink a POT of coffee every morning. No one could talk to me before my 1st cup without taking their life in their own hands. LOL I started back on my coffee a month ago. I do not make it a priority anymore though. I am also changing and becoming a morning person. I think the addiction kept me from being a sunny wakeup person. I get up and have my large glass of water (20 oz) and then have a cup of coffee. I sip it for about 45 minutes. Sometimes it gets really cold and I have to nuke it and sometimes I do not finish the whole cup. I love coffee and the doctors never told me not to drink it. Caffeine is a natural diuretic and that is the reason why Sherri (my nutritionist) has told me to only count half of the cup towards my liquid goal. She has told me that 1 cup will not cause any harm. The only ones that have warned me against coffee are my fellow list mates. I know that their docs have warned them against it but I have the green light from mine.
