Decaf coffee... To do or not to do?
The last week I haven't been able to drink my water. I just don't want it. I started drinking starbucks skinny lattes, but saw that they have more calories, so I stopped drinking those, plus it can get expensive. So, Ive been drinking decaf coffee. I add dairy free creamer (0 calories, 0 sugar), some hazelnut syrup (0 calories, 0 sugars), some splenda, and my benefiber. I can drink it all day, but I wonder if it's safe to do so, since technically its no****er, though it is liquid, right? What are your thoughts? Your experience? Any help with this is appreciated.

What do you think might be unsafe about it? I don't see a problem.

I drink a lot of decaf every day. I know that it is not completely caffiene free, but I don't seem to have any problems with it. I do drink at least 32 oz. of plain water everyday too. I think some people have acidy stomach issues with coffee. I am on a low dose of Prilosec daily. I never have stomach upset...and I drink 5 or 6 cups of decaf daily. Just my experience.

Okay, thanks. I haven't had any problems with it, and since it's decaf, I think it should be okay, but wanted to make sure it was safe, especially since it's all that I'm drinking right now. But, I will try to get more clear liquids in. Thanks again.

My nut told me that the 64oz includes all fluids (including decaf coffee). I love the general foods international coffees. The decaf/sugar free only has 30 calories in a serving. I use 1/2 cup of skim milk and add some water if I am making a big mug (which is only 43 calories and 6 carbs) and this also gives me 4 grams of protein.
