I don’t see how it could be a crime if you do not have very high blood pressure. Coffee has antioxidants and is pretty gentle compared to diet stimulants. It depends to on what you are using as a creamer too. Artificial creamers are really full of junk. Real dairy is fine so long as you are not sensitive to it and the calories fit with in your calorie budget/macros.
No, it’s not a crime. You should do things that make you happy. But if you want to quit, you could skip it sometimes or just put less sugar than usual.
I wouldnt consider it a crime. Why would it be? Being healthy is about being mindful and listening to our bodies. I think the best strategy in all things is to find golden mean.
Well I have. a cup of coffee with breakfast and a big bottle of water but I’ve been sugar free for. Years drink your coffee be happy with your choice if you wish to stop make it a part of your habits
To be honest, caffeine is another form of addiction and relying on another thing or substance to drive your day will not benefit you in the long run. I was addicted to coffee when I started working and have been telling myself I need coffee to start off right. However that addiction cost me a lot, I felt more lethargic at the end of the day and I was experiencing severe migraine when I don’t drink my coffee by a certain time in the morning. At some point it didn’t become an enjoyment anymore, it was slowly decreasing my quality of life. Now I rely on good breakfast for the past 6 months and I will say it’s been great 6 months of caffeine free life. Not to say that I don’t drink coffee AT ALL, but I definitely don’t feel the urge or desire to drink it everyday. I may indulge in a cup when I sit with friends at a coffee shop.
I don’t think so; it would be if that coffee was the first of like four in a day. If you want to take less caffeine while enjoying your coffee you could try decaf or espresso. P.S. stick to organic and fair trade beans :D
Not at all, I don’t see why not? Perhaps switch it to black tea (earl grey, english breakfast). It will give you the same energy boost as coffee, but it is much better for digestion, and it is an enjoyable after-meal infusion. I feel much better after doing the switch (I’ll still grab a cup of joe every other morning just after my glasses of water with a hint of apple cider juice, a fruit, more water, then my americano style cup of joe, and then breakfast. It is very enjoyable and smooths out your pace).
Don’t deny yourself small pleasures or your motivation will wane. Feel better about drinking that coffee now because it’s now combined with additional healthy choices.
I don’t think it’s a crime to drink coffee esp if it’s black coffee with no sugar. Actually there is a lot of research out there that states coffee is good for us and for weight loss. Do what ever works for you as long as you are consistent
Drinking coffee is never a crime. Without sugar is one step closer so give yourself a well-done for that!! Maybe next time try decaf :)
