drinking coffee is definitely not for me... I don't know about quitting as i have not tried! =) I think drinking coffee helps me NOT binge in the AM, actually.
Nope its just black. The funny thing is I gave up coffee last month. And I went from being a short tempered/sharp person to someone quite laid back.
But when I was giving up the I emptied the pantry.
It's definitely a trigger for me. It tames my appetite at first but then after an hour or so I'm ravenous. I get a 20oz coffee every morning but started making it 3/4 decaf and 1/4 regular which doesn't affect my hunger. So I guess big doses of caffeine is my trigger.
I need the coffee in the morning to keep from eating everything in site. I drink my cup and then wait until hunger strikes me. I usually end up eating a later, more well though out breakfast. However, and I think this is crucial, I drink my coffee black. I don't sweeten it which I think could lead to cravings for more sugar.
Actually I think drinking coffee helps me from eating. Often when I am hungry, if I have a cup of coffee it gets my mind off food.
I have to agree with that it does the same for me, But i try to only have it in the morning because ill get in panic attack mode if i drink it throughout the day.
I don't usually drink coffee but I bought a can of it the other day and learned how to work the coffee maker. I've had a lot the past few days since it's been so cold. I find it keeps me from eating so much. I'm now at that point where I feel like I want to eat but I'm not hungry and nothing sounds good. It's interesting, I also drink tea and it definitely does not have that effect! I put soy milk in my coffee, I don't know if that affects anything.
cofee trigger?
