I drink over 8 cups a day usually, if you define a cup as 6-8 oz. I need my morning 32 oz to get me going.

Sad but true, I'm probably addicted to the black shit. I have a big stong really black cup in the morning, probably gets about 300mg caffein in that one. It's strong and probably nasty for my stomach, because 30 minutes later I have to goo to the toilett.
Coffee rocks!

You're probably low on potassium. Low potassium levels can cause Edema (water retention) and hypoglycemia. I always feel bloated later in the day if i've had coffee in the morning. A 99mg tab of potassium usually clears it up pretty quickly (you may need more depending on how much coffee you're drinking). Coffee can cause fatigue and edema by throwing off your mineral balance, but many don't realize the symtoms because they drink coffee ALL day long. Another suggestion is to just stop drinking coffee ..........

What happens if I drink coffee with carbs? It's kinda hard to avoid some carbs in the morning when I gotta have my coffee.

I usually eat my morning meal (eggs, protein drink, oatmeal or cereal) an hour before my first cup of coffee. This helps combat the insulin resistance.

I live in a city that consumes more coffee per capita than any in the U.S., there is a damn coffee shop on every corner. I'm addicted to that shit.
