How do most of you manage coffee? When I took ephedra pills, I attributed my lack of appetite to the ephedra, but now that I've started drinking coffee (2 cups a day thanks to having to get up ridiculously early) I've discovered that it might have been the caffeine. The main concern I had with drinking it was fat and sugar (starbucks lattes), but I have discovered the glory of McDonald's iced coffees, which they can make without flavoring syrup and with Equal instead of sugar (no help for the creamer). I'm a little worried about picking up a coffee habit despite those precatutions, as I've heard all my life that it's bad for you, but the appetite control is really, really helpful. For those of you who drop caffeine, how did it affect your weight-loss?

I love coffee, but it has no hold on me at all. I can go weeks, even have gone years without coffee..and mind you, I have a coffee and coffee at home. As for as WW goes, coffee with fat free or soy milk with sugar substitute is zero points. I think that you just have to know and take what your body needs. If you need that extra help early in the morning, then have coffee..but if you really don't need it in the middle of the day, then don't drink it or drink decaf..which still has caffine it.
The one thing I have realized is that when I get tired or sleepy in the middle of the day, it is always attributed to what I've eatten..like something starchy or sugary that leads to my sleepiness. So I've tried to be cautious of what I eat or equal it out with a lot of veggies and fruit.
