Pretty much, well when it comes to black coffee I am.
I'm more of an iced coffee drinking girly man. :-\

I don't drink coffee and I even work night shift. I think coffee is a crux for lots of people and is detrimental to ones health. In moderation it's no different than alcohol but most people can't live without the shit.

Perth is nice. Getting pretty pricey now though.
Sydney is cool, though is a rip off if you wanna be near the beach. I go to the Gold Coast multiple times a year (parents own a holiday apartment up there). I really like the gold coast, may consider moving up there in a few years.

Does anyone feel guilty/uneasy when people make them coffee at work? I am not curing cancer at work, not a boss and am just your average dude. So when our secretary offers to make us coffee or other people call her and request they bring it to them I always feel weird about it. I want to ask these people if they are too stupid to make coffee or think they are too important, but I just shake my heads at them. Anyone relate?

Lol, no she is an older(50ish) lady. Hard working and helpful. I did however start fucking my coworker there on the second day, actually dated her for many months. She transferred now though. Anyway back to the topic, I can not allow myself to let someone make it for me. Brew it? Fine. Pour it, add sweet and low and H and H and bring it to me? Can't do it. I am not helpless ffs.

I've got a mental list of people I allow to prepare food/drink for me. I'm always afraid of germs. :-X
I'm scared of what I'll do when my wife wants to cook for me. I'll call my mom to come over and make us dinner.

Lol, I am not a germophobe, just don't like to demean people. Especially when we are all under 40, except for 2, and she is 50 or so. Just seems lazy to me.

I wanted to respond to this with a link to the simpsons clip where police chief wiggum is arguing if the shamrock shake is slightly minty or if just the green color makes your mind think it is. But i went to youtube and when you type simpsons 90% is guys posting clips of themselves.

I fucking love coffee. I start the day with a mug with 2 heaped spoons of instant coffee. Then depending on how much time I have I'll get another 3-4 during the day and maybe a couple from my espresso machine in the evenings. Sooo good :)

Do you work from home? ???
no, i run my own business :)

RonPaulFan, try mixing fresh coffee with Carolan's irish creme for a cerebral holiday buzz
I like tea more in the morning but I usually make my tea with 4-5 tea bags and it must be Tetley british blend with some carnation condensed milk. I like coffee during the afternoon with half and half no sugar and sometimes strictly black just for that bitter coffee taste.

Yeah I run about a liter of black coffee a day. It's also my pre-workout drink. Iced, sometimes with a scoop of one of the mint and chocolate protein powders in it.
Yummy.

I don't drink coffee and I even work night shift. I think coffee is a crux for lots of people and is detrimental to ones health. In moderation it's no different than alcohol but most people can't live without the shit.
a small amount of caffiene daily actually has health benefits more s than it has any damage to ones health. thus it could be considered healthy. however moderate consumption of alcohol, for exampl the often touted one glass of red wine once or twice a week, is not at all "healthy" in of that its a poison to the body and the very smal benefits one gets from red wine are massively outweighed by all tthe negatives.

my eyesight is fuzzy til that first big cup in the morning. I cant think..and i have a headache..
cant live without it!

Coffee is not dangerous and it is a great way to help regulate alertness as needed.

Do you like start your day with a cup of coffee? If your answer is "yes", after you drink it, how do you feel? You fee awake and energetic, right? But do you know there are some adverse effects of coffee on your health? If you are coffee addicted or drink coffee for an extended period of time, you will experience some effects of coffee on you health, which will be discussed in the follow sections of this article.
Effect of coffee on body weight
Coffee can trigger food cravings, stimulate appetite, increase stress level, and increase insulin resistance. All of these effects work together will lead to a series of metabolic processes that eventually builds up body weight. Caffeine, the functional component in coffee elevates the stress hormone, cortisol. Cortisol increases heart rate, blood pressure, and sensitivity to emergency alert. This, in turn, alerts the body to increase its energy stores which results in food cravings specifically for sweets. Caffeine stimulates appetite due to its ability to induce low blood sugar with symptoms including dizziness and light-headedness. Body's reaction to low blood sugar is increased appetite. Elevated cortisol levels over an extended period of time increases the deposit of fat in the deep belly area. Abdominal fat is associated with increased health risks like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Drinking coffee makes our bodies become resistant to insulin. As a result, glucose and insulin build up in the blood, endangering our health and increasing our risk of developing Type II Diabetes. Drinking coffee can also cause insomnia and sleep deprivation, both of which have been found to increase insulin resistance.
Effects of coffee on cardiovascular system
Drinking coffee can significantly increase central blood pressure as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressure, is a predictor for the incidence of heart palpitations. Due to its effects on raising cortisol, it increases heart rate. It is also implicated in the potential to produce cardiac arrhythmias.
Coffee drinking is linked to higher levels of serum cholesterol, with particularly high levels noted in people who drink boiled coffee or coffee processed at high temperatures (which includes espresso and espresso drinks). Other forms of coffee have also been shown to increase serum cholesterol levels including decaffeinated coffee, and studies show that replacement of regular coffee with decaffeinated coffee does not affect lipid levels. Increases in LDL levels as high as 8-10 percent after drinking decaffeinated coffee for three months have been observed.
Increased plasma homocysteine increases a person's risk of suffering from a heart attack. Coffee drinking significantly increases homocysteine in the bloodstream, even more so than caffeine alone. Coffee drinkers exhibit increased presence of inflammatory markers, including significantly higher interleukin 6, C-reactive protein, serum amyloid-A, higher tumor necrosis factor alpha and higher white blood cell counts. This effect is observed at levels of 200 ml or 6 oz of coffee per day. It is suggested that this inflammatory response Caffeine has been demonstrated to negatively affect stiffness in the aorta as well as aortic pressure, in healthy adults as well as in adults with hypertension. Increased arterial stiffness is a contributing factor in coronary artery disease and is involved in the process of arteriosclerosis or hardening of the arteries.
Effects of coffee on digestive system
Coffee Increases Incidence of gastro-esophageal reflux disease because coffee decreases pressure in the lower esophagus, which can lead to reflux. Both decaffeinated and regular coffees are highly acidic and can increase the secretion of stomach acids which is the main reason for heartburn. Studies have shown that a decrease in stomach acid can help alleviate heartburn. Therefore, quitting the coffee habit may be just the right move to help limit your episodes of heartburn. Coffee stimulates acid in the stomach and is associated with a higher risk of stomach ulcers
Coffee has been shown to have a laxative effect in people suffering from colon and bowel conditions which can lead to loose stools as soon as four minutes after drinking it. Coffee can also decrease absorption of magnesium, which will contribute to abnormal bowel regularity.
In summary, drinking coffee is not a healthy way to keep you alert or energetic because it can cause many adverse effects on your health. If you are still drinking, my recommendation is to quit it as soon as you can so that you can enjoy your life more.

Caffeine and Your Body
If you need additional motivation, keep in mind the following health problems that can be exacerbated by caffeine.
* Cardiovascular Problems: Caffeine increases your heart rate, elevates your blood pressure, and can contribute to the development of heart disease. Both decaf and regular coffee increase your cholesterol and homocysteine, the biochemical that science has linked to increased risk for heart attack. Caffeine is also linked to coronary vasospasms, the cause for 20% of all fatal heart attacks which kill otherwise perfectly healthy people.
* Stress: Caffeine stimulates the excretion of stress hormones which can produce increased levels of anxiety, irritability, muscular tension and pain, indigestion, insomnia, and decreased immunity. Increased levels of stress from caffeine can keep you from being able to make healthy responses to the normal daily stress everyone is subjected to in their lives.
* Blood Sugar Swings: Diabetics and hypoglycemics should avoid caffeine because it stimulates a temporary surge in blood sugar which is then followed by an overproduction of insulin that causes a blood sugar crash within hours. If you're trying to loose weight, this rollercoaster will actually cause weight gain since insulin's message to the body is to store excess sugar as fat and the appetite becomes increased once the blood sugar is low.
* Gastrointestinal Problems: Many people experience a burning sensation in their stomach after drinking coffee because coffee increases the secretion of hydrochloric acid leading to an increased risk for ulcers. Coffee, including decaf, reduces the pressure on the valve between the esophagus and the stomach so that the highly acidic contents of the stomach pass up to the esophagus leading to heartburn and gastro-esophageal reflux disease. With our culture's high consumption of coffee, its no wonder the best selling over-the-counter drugs are the so-called antacids.
* Nutritional Deficiencies: Caffeine inhibits the absorption of some nutrients and causes the urinary excretion of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and trace minerals, all essential elements necessary for good health.
* Male Health Problems: Dr. Milton Krisiloff, M.D. has found that in the majority of cases, men can significantly reduce their risk for urinary and prostate problems by making dietary changes that include eliminating coffee and caffeine.
* Female Health Problems: Fibrocystic breast disease, PMS, osteoporosis, infertility problems, miscarriage, low birth weight infants, and menopausal problems such as hot flashes are all exacerbated by caffeine consumption. Women on birth control pills are particularly at risk since they have a decreased ability to detoxify caffeine.
* Adrenal Exhaustion: Caffeine consumption leads to eventual adrenal exhaustion that can leave you vulnerable to a variety of health disorders related to inflammation, autoimmunity, depression and other mood imbalances.
* Aging: Many people find in their forties that they can no longer tolerate the same level of caffeine consumption as they could in their twenties and thirties. The production of DHEA, melatonin, and other vital hormones start to decline and caffeine speeds up that downhill drop. Conversely, cortisol, a stress hormone, increases in productions as we age and caffeine increases cortisol levels in the blood for up to 18 hours. Caffeine dehydrates the body and contributes to the aging of the skin and kidneys. It has been shown to inhibit DNA repair and slow the ability of the liver to detoxify foreign toxins.

Worst thing is that caffein raises cortisol, which means slowing down metabolism.

Most of what you claim are just theoretically based. In real world research, it has not been shown that coffee have an overall negative effect on your health. Actually, coffee protects against oxidative stress and coffee drinkers have a smaller chance of getting Parkinson's disease, which is a neurodegenerative disease.

Ron I agree. I drink coffee with sugar free french vanilla cream and 3 equals. A few months ago I was getting my blood work done in the am (doctor wanted to check everything after my huge weight loss). I had to fast after 10pm and he said you can have water and black coffee nothing in it. Well I went to the gym before my blood work and drank it black (never have before) and had the most energy I ever had. Now if I dont sleep well (rare) and when I get up for the gym, I drink black coffee on the way and have a great work out

I had a cup of black coffee again today about 20 minutes before Chest/Shoulders.
I was able to go a little heavier on chest than last week. (I'm still losing about 3 pounds a week) My workout was better than usual. Got a pretty good pump.
I've really never had much coffee up till the last week, maybe the effect will wear off after I drink it a little while longer? ???
-
Yes I too used to during coffee just before working out while I was cutting. 3Tbsp As i remember. Worked really great.. But had some effects on my sleep.
