Almost 2 litres of.....Coffee?

[Taylor]

I've drank a shed load of coffee today, I got a huge pint mug I use and I've had a fair few of them. Can someone tell me whether this counts towards my water intake or must it be just water?

 

[Han_Han]

That is a lot of coffee! I don't know how you've managed that!! The water in your coffee/tea counts towards your total water intake, yeah...it's only the stuff in the shakes that doesn't count.

It's day 5 for me and today I'm really cold and I woke up not being able to face water so have just drank cups and cups of coffee.

 

[soon2Byummymummy!]

I wonder if you'll sleep tonight lol I drank about 6 mugs of green tea in about 4 hours the one day and not really being a tea or coffee drinker I think I overdosed on caffeine!! Lol I had a thumping headache nervousness and the shakes for a few hours thought I was upping my water intake and keeping warm needless to say I stick to two or three green teas a day now

 

[Taylor]

I'm on the water now, have had my second shake and now on my second glass of water. I was up all last night with my 16 month old son who couldn't sleep so I am shattered, so I should sleep tonight.

HI hun, please be really careful with coffe and tea as the caffine can interfere with your insulin levels, after watching the LT dvd it said your 2 -4lt of water should should not include tea and coffee's I know that it varies with different GP's and Pharmacies, but I stick to what LT says, I think you will find that much coffe will not help your body detox and may even interfere with Weightloss, I know it does with diets you eat on as an increase in insulin also means blood sugar levels being messed up and can make the need to eat worse :}

 

[Taylor]

I'm so glad you said that as I did wonder if it was too much coffee, I would never dream of having that much coffee anytime regardless of being on LT but yesterday was a 'cold' day for me and today I'm on the water. Thanks for the advice.

 

[bigmuthabluffa]

you are welcome hun, if your cold have warm water and maybe put a sweetener in it:}

 

[Taylor]

That's a good idea, plus sweetners can make a whole lot of difference.

 

[bigmuthabluffa]

never thought something so tiny could make me so happy, now that reminds me of something.............. he he he:}

i have about 2-3 cups of black coffee with sweetners in it a day in between my shakes as it helps me stay full for a bit longer.

I've responded on the other water thread too but thought I'd suggest gradually switching to decaff coffee too! Every little helps. x

 

[polly43]

Yeah lisa decaf not so bad..i had my first day with it today, i was drinking way too much of other stuff! Found myself drinking 4/5 cups while trying to tolerate flapjacks! Slight bit of a headache but there has to be a bit of withdrawal symptoms!!

 

[Taylor]

I've only had one cup of coffee today so far, so that's good for me. I will change to decaf though, that's a good idea.
