Coffee drinkers

[JJM07]

Is anyone out there a daily coffee drinker and if so has this had any negative effect on your workouts?

[cjszip]

drinking coffee daily isn't a good idea in my opinion, i feel it's best to cycle caffeine to get the full effects of it

From what I understand, many athletes drink coffee to enhance their performance, that caffeine gives you a boost! I think if it was so bad, it wouldn't be in an ECA stack. It revs up your metabolism too.
I would stay away from Diet Coke, as all diet sodas are carbonated, and this can cause fluid retention and other things. Wish I could remember other specific negatives I've heard about carbonated soda, but I can't? In a nutshell,
Caffeine good, carbonation bad.

Gotta have my coffee dude. I drink close to a pot of it before I go to work. Also helps with the energy level in the gym. I'd stay away from that diet soda crap, they put alot of chemicals unfit for human consumption in that ****.

It'll rot your teeth; not just the sugar in regular pop but also the acid.

One can of regular soda has the equivelant of 8 tsp of sugar, not to mention sodium & ph levels. Deadly stuff. Coffee has 0 everything. I also find that it gives me a nice boost of energy before a W/O, not to mention that it tastes great! There have been so many studies done on the adverse vs no effects of coffee that they've pretty much zeroed themselves out. I say anything in moderation is just fine. So, enjoy that cup of Joe!

PS I found a great teeth whitener. I found out about it through a dental hygenist a long time ago. Sounds disgusting, but I promise it works. It has the same ingredients as the official tooth whiteners, but a higher level of the whitening ingredient (Carbamide Peroxide)and is about a 1/4 of the price. Ear Drops. I know, I know. Sounds completely disgusting. But just try it. Make sure it has a 6.5% level of Carbamide Peroxide. You can either just apply it directly to your teeth or use a tray. I use it once a week and keep it on my teeth for 10 to 15 minutes. People ask what I use to whiten my teeth all the time! When I tell them, the skeptical looks can be quite funny. But, I promise, this stuff works!

Thanks for the tip!

As for coffee, if I didn't drink two large ones every morning, I wouldn't make it through the day.

[wscranston]

OK, I'll...umm...bite.

How does that ear wax stuff taste?

[Pinkmuffins]

Okay i wanna use it! What do i ask my dentist that I want? Ear drops? whats the stuff called??

[trnurbdy48]

It tastes less vile than the true whitening products. If you know the taste of other whiteners, then you'll recognize it. You can buy it over the counter. I use the Rite-Aid brand. Just make sure it's 6.5% Carbamide Peroxide.

2 cups every morning for me.

I'm right there with you Hibiscus!
