HOW MUCH COFFEE A DAY

[sliemox]

how many cups of coffee can we drink a day i can have up to 10 cups of black coffee with sweetners, my weight loss seems to have slowed down, since week 2 and, im not sure wat the problem is.

I occasionally have sugarfree chewing gum as well for my breath. Do you think this could be affecting my weightloss. though i noticed the inches were going down, I am at a loss coz I am 100% and drink about 4ltrs of water at times.

I read that chewing gum can slow your weightloss - no idea why tho?!

You can use breath freshener spray only.chewing gum is not allowed in this diet.

You can't chew gun because the chewing action makes you stomach do something that can cause ketosis to be ruined. Just get a breath spray I found it helped a lot.

I think the coffee thing is the same as coke. It all has to do with caffeine, but saying that all I drank was coke while I used exante. Would you beable to have a week of limiting the coffee to two cups a day and drink water the rest?

Also if your 4 weeks in have you done your food break? If not consider it as some times are body needs a little change to get back to losing.

I use decaf coffee. Coffee seems to make me feel full and because its warm it makes it easier on my tummy when hunger pangs strike! 10 cups is probably too much especially if its caffeinated.

Do you like peppermint or green tea? I find that helps as well.
