I love coffee

Improves mood: A Bristol University study of 600 people found that those who had a cup of ordinary coffee performed better and were more upbeat than those who drank decaffeinated coffee or nothing.

Good for muscles: Sports scientists at the University of Otago in New Zealand recently tested the effects of caffeine on the performances of a group of rowers. Results showed an average improvement of 1.3 per cent in the time it took them to row 2,000m.

Improves work output: Researchers at Bristol University showed that drinking four cups of coffee each morning helped people work more efficiently than those who abstained. It is believed it stimulates the release of fats into the blood which are then burned rapidly for energy.


Nothing to add

Now just imagine if they used a real stimulant like d-amphetamine rather than caffeine.

How much of a negative effect on insulin sensitivity does caffine have?

yes a good point made by w.
i remember reading that insuline pikes your insuline and is detrimental to your insuline sensitivity. Is this true?

Caffine as it is broken down does indeed cause a slight amount of insulin response.

Its only a concern for those that regulary intake high amounts of caffine. As your insulin levels would always be a bit elevated it can lead to insulin resistance the same way eating excess carbs can.
