coffee & weight lose
I never drank coffee before surgery and now LOVE it. I drink about 4 LARGE cups a day.... I also drink 80oz of water a day.
Has anyone seen that drinking coffee slows their weight loss? I drink both decaf and caf. I use ALOT of Splenda and low fat/low cal creamer. I worry about the calories in the creamer though.....I try to add it in my cal. count for the day.
I have only been losing 2 lbs a week and trying to figure out why. I exercise 45 mins a day, 5 days a week and keep cal. close to 1000 a day.
Your thoughts?
Thanks,
Tamara

A continued loss of 2lbs per week at this stage post-op is pretty good. I doubt that the coffee is having a negative effect. You may want to switch to skim milk rather than creamer, because some of the creamers have trans fats and bad sugars even though they are listed as low fat (look for hydroginated oil and/or high fructose corn syrup). Other than that sounds like you are doing great!
