Are there down sides to drinking coffee??

Nice.


I had been on the coffee rampage this summer and I stopped cold turkey on wednesday and I while the headaches are gone I feel like I gonna fall asleep sitting up.

Why stop completely ?

the World is not all black or all white
10+ cups of coffee a day or nothing

Moderation is the key
and will power => moderation

 

[OMEGA]

coffe is bad for you

increase cotisol production
increase insulin production
affect thyroid
and
metabolism in a very bad way

How long does it take for you to feel the kick in the ass effect ?
and for how long ?

around 20 minutes.

I set my alarm so it goes off, I wake up, pop a 200 mg caffiene pill, go back to sleep.

hit snooze once or twice more and I don't even want to lay in bed anymore, I'm up and ready to go.

I just figure skip the middleman, be it coffee or diet pop with caffeine or whatever. No calories and you get the same kick

the effect is totally dependent on how much you take. they say a cup of coffee is 100 mg of caffiene. so 1 pill is equal to 2 cups of coffee. Base a dosage off that

These are actually some drawbacks
but I think the kick in the ass effect plus the fact that it hides pain are even greater

So what do you recommend in place of ?

Looks good
You don't take ephedrine HCL with ?

They have a nice synergistic effect

I have before.....it seemed to work well. I was being pretty sloppy with the diet at the time so can't draw any real conclusions.....

I just have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning and sometimes staying awake in class. A caffiene pill can help....it's alot more convenient that cup of coffee. though coffee is delicous

?

that is a good point no hiding that

moderation I guess

that being said I just had a cup of coffe lol
