coffee?

[futureyummymummy]

Ok so I have like 8-10 (yes i know it's a ridiculous amount ) coffee's a day with 1-2 sweeteners each depending on the size of the mug. My question is will this affect the weight loss given all the stuff about how artificial sweeteners cause weight gain??

I have 3 large mugs of coffee and day with 4-5 sweeteners in each cup!!!!!!!
I haven't read anything about sweeteners hindering weightloss.
My llc says there ok to use and you can have as many as you wish.
Can't really help Emma sorry!

I have been useing sweetner tabs and was told you can have as many as you like. Not heard anything about them affecting weight?

Yeah I know they're unlimited but it's articles like this

Sweetener can cause obesity

that make me think they shouldn't be?

Hi hun I to have 10 or more coffees a day with 1 sweetener in each .Pre CD diet I was having 20 or more a day with 2 sugars in each so great improvment there then I have also gone on to decaf .
Anyway my coffee has not hindered my diet or my maintaning it now so you should be fine x

I still have to make that leap to decaf, did you get headaches or anything?

The main thing you need to be concerned about with coffee on this diet, is that you get alllll your water too - as coffee is a diuretic, it will draw out what little moisture there is in the body - if that is not replaced generously with water - nasty cpnstipation can be the result.

Swap over slowly I gave up coffee completly before starting CD as I couldnt drink it without sugar so I suffered badly from withdrawl .After CD I couldnt drink it with sugar lol swapped over to decaf over 3 weeks couldnt go through it again on the plus side the groggy ness most peeps get when they start vlcd went unnoticed due to already feeling cac from caffine

Me too!! When I was eating - but in abstainance, towards the end I really increased my coffee - not only as coffee, but also used coffee to mix my shakes.....so i was double dosing!! (Caffein hound, me!)

I did start to have trouble, so cut it back a bit.

But before LL - a coffee and a fag were as good as any laxative on the market!!! :giggle:
