Refresh my memory....

Hi all... Can anyone tell me why we can't have caffiene anymore. I inadvertently grabbed a cup of regular jo today at work and didn't realize it until I had drank the whole cup. I just don't want to screw anything up - I've done too good to stop now! Thanks ya'll & have a great day!!!!! --Cathy--

Something about the carbonation and the acid I think, also something about distending your stomach, I always forget. But if I get coffee from Dunkin Donuts and they give me reg. I am either in the bathroom or It is just terrible. Christie Maybe if someone answers I can remember this time.

Hi Cathy, It's the fact that caffeine can inhibit vitamin absorption. The fact that you grabbed a cup of regular isn't a big problem, I don't think you are gonna turn green or anything lol...acids in coffee can bother some as can the oils. Depending on the method of brewing...say filtered vs. perked you can get more oils which can bring on the runs on some people Coffee sometimes makes a great quick laxative for some! Sometimes I drink regular, sometimes I drink decaf, sometimes I drink the reduced half caff stuff. I haven't had a problem. However, having said that, I never take it with my vitamins and wait at least 1/2 hour before or after drinking it to take them. I don't drink it to excess, usually just a cup or two in the morning now...occasionally in the afternoon or evening depending on if I'm out meeting friends for coffee! lol Hope this helps, Linda

ok...the meeting friends for coffee reference was not lost on me!!! Let's get together as soon as you're feeling up to it. How are you feeling by the way?

Cathy, I have switched to mostly decafe but occasionally I still drink regular . I don't think I messed anything up yet. See you lighter. Joanne Hammond OBESITY HELP CHAPTER LEADER.
