Hello

So can to much caffeine interfere with weight loss?

How many cups a day is to much?   I normally try to keep my coffee intake to two cups a day..

This week  has gone up three to four ...

Plain black coffee with sugarfree sweetner with half and half or whipping cream is no problem.Some of these coffee shops serve coffees that are loaded with sugar and carbs. ;)

Jo -- I drink 2-3 cups per day. I try to use the smaller mugs to keep them as close to 8oz as possible. I was using heavy cream, but it was a problem for me, so I've stopped. The cream in the coffee was fine, although it did bump up calories/fat content. It wasn't that, but that I was eating too much of it for other things. So, I just stopped buying the darn stuff for now. Instead, I'm using International Delights SF creamer. It's 1 carb per tablespoon. I've started using one teaspoon per cup and adding a little sweetner. It seems to be okay. Coffeemate SF is 2 carbs per serving.

HWC is fine -- unless you're like me and can't control yourself. I have issues.  ::)

Well Rena I have issues also ,(all of us do some just dont like to admit it LOL) just not with creamer . I have finally broke my issue with the scale !!!!!   I tried to do without coffee Umpa told me not too LOL . But I love my coffee I have 3-4 cups in the morning and that is all . . I use the moo moos I dont like the taste of the heavy cream I like half/half .
 I am not sure that the moo moos are really 0 carb though they have 10 calories ,0 fat ,0 carb& 0 protein so that 10 calories is coming from somewhere . I count each one as 1/2 carb.

Enjoy your coffee Joey! :)
Just be careful of what you add to it.

But remember, moderation is always key.
It is possible to have too much of a good thing. ;)

I so agree with that!! I think I'm starting to have a issue with it now myself...LOL  My loving hubs bought me one of those fancy Keurigs and I have discovered a whole new world I never knew existed... ;D ;D  My new obsession is cinnamon roll coffee....yummm!!  I put the heavy whipping cream with a little cinnamon vanilla sweetener (sugar free of course  ;))  It's like having desert in a cup!!  They have so many flavors to choose from it's crazy!  You have to be careful though some have carbs in them  :-\  I now have to make myself use the regular coffee on a daily basis (I can drink it as is) and the other for just a treat...LOL

This great site shows coffee with no carbs-regular brewed from grounds with tap water.  Is it wrong?  Tony referred this site to me and it seems pretty official!! ??? ???
