I'm too addicted to caffiene. Apples are healthier though.

personally I think it is just in your head that caffeine wakes you  I myself can drink an entire pot of coffee  with loads of sugar and go right to sleep  and actually in the morning when I leave for work if I get a coffee on the road it actually makes me drowsy I have heard this from lots of people I guess its just people react differently to certain things

The flavonoid quercetin, a plant-based phytonutrient found most abundantly in apples, is the most health-promoting antioxidant.\nIt reduces the risk of many chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, stroke, type 2 diabetes and asthma.\n\nORGANIC apples, simply have a higher concentration of nutrients and vitamins than regular apples. Sometimes as high as 80% more. So you get more bang for your buck, nutrient-wise, by eating a single organic apple. You will need to eat more regular apples for the same benefits.\n\nThere are other reasons to choose organic apples, including their better taste/flavour, and the avoidance of pesticides which are harmful to both you and the environment.\n\nFruits and veggies all have unique benefits, so VARIETY is important to make sure you get everything you need to be and stay healthy. When organic produce is not readily available or affordable, eat regularly farmed fruits and veggies.

Black coffee will not make you gain weight. In fact, the caffeine in coffee would burn calories - although it would not be a noticeable amount and caffeine as a diet aid is not recommended.\n\nIf you drink coffee with cream and/or sugar, or a coffee-like drink from popular coffeehouses, then you have to look at the amount of calories in those.

Yeah, what that guy said.\n\nIn college, I almost killed myself with caffiene to stay awake and study (Just like Jessie on Saved by the Bell)\n\nIt's not worth it's dangerous effects, babe.\n\nExercise raises metabolism more than caffeine.

I have asked this question of every professional I have encountered.  I can't get an answer from anyone that makes sense.  Normally, I get the "deer caught in the headlights" look when ever I ask.\n\nI am one who suffers with the dawn effect.  It really upsets me to wake up with higher sugar than when I go to bed.  I think what is happening is the body sees the glucose level drop in the predawn hours and it converts something into glucose.  It keeps right on making sugar until you wake up.  I have tried a couple of experiments including setting my alarm for 3:00 AM and testing. In me it seems to give credence to my theory.  Additionally I have eaten a small piece of dark chocolate before bedtime.  I do mean a piece, not three pounds.  Dark chocolate is supposed to help with insulin usage.  The dark chocolate also seems to help me.  \n\nI am going to put the question on my watch list.  Hope we can both get a good answer.

For personal experience I can guarantee you that if you eat a good breakfast in the morning, and have some coffe as well you will see amazing results. An extra is to have some Choco-Crispies, and Chocolates trough out the day. As stupid as it sounds it really works.\n\nBye and Good Luck\nCSUF Student

Eliminating caffiene has some benefits. However, decaffeinated coffee is often processed with some harsh chemicals which can be harmful. Try coffee flavored postum which has a nutty coffee like flavor but without the acid.\nTea is also a pleasant change. Bottom line, a cup of decaf is not going to kill you, if you like it and it helps you with your diet -- Enjoy! Personally, I think that I would rather have my beverage after I work out.

A lot of decaffeinated coffee isn't really decaffeinated. I saw a story that a news team did where they took samples of several different "decaffeinated" coffees, some of which contained as much caffeine as a regular cup of coffee. I wouldn't trust a cup of "decaffeinated" coffee.\n\nOne to two cups of regular coffee a day can be good for you but be careful what time of day you drink it to minimize anxious feelings or insomnia.

Two cups of coffee is about half the recommended maximum daily caffiene intake for males. (100mg)\n\nCoffee had been proven to improve mental alertness and general cognative ability. As long as you're not drinking energy drinks as well as coffee, you shouldn't be experiencing anything other than minor side effects.

I don't know about eating something right before bed -- I mean it is healthy, and it's an apple (especially if you leave the skin on.)  And I don't think you'll gain weight either.  But when I don't eat before bed, I feel super in the morning, and you don't have any intense dreams, you just sleep.  I would drink a glass of water instead.  Maybe a quarter of an apple before bed.

According to this article, instant coffee may not have the same effectiveness as a regular brewed cup of coffee.  There have not been any conclusive studies on the exact effects of large doses of coffee.  It is generally accepted that 2 to 3 cups a day will not do any harm and may have some beneficial effects.\n\nSee the article below for more information.

yeah. fruits...eat alot of apples... apples may help you lose weight. A brazilial study showed that 300 overweight women who ate three apples per day lost more weight than a similar gourp who did'nt add fruit to their diet.  Researchers believe that adding fruit to the diet of the overweight women changed their METABOLIC PROFILES

Stop drinking coffee and any other caffinated bevrages immediately. A strange fact that might sound surprising but true, an apple gives you more energy in the morning than caffeine. Surprising but true.

Eat an apple with breakfast, it supposedly wakes you up as well as a cup of coffee but is healthier for you.\n\nTake a 15-20 minute powernap on your lunch break, if you work, or after you get home from work/school.\n\nDo 15-20 minutes of exercise a day. It doesn't have to be anything really strenuous - even a little cardio work will work. After a few days of that you will feel more energized already.

yes it does. coffee has been scientifically proven to speed up the beating of the heart. the faster the heart beats, the more blood pumped through your lungs. blood carries oxygen, and oxygen helps asthma.
