So, like, I *totally* want to be healthy, you know?

(No, I haven't had my coffee yet. But that's only because it isn't done brewing.)

So, okay. Now that I'm out of the house I:

Am eating a lot of fruits and veggies.

Am eating mostly lean seafood with the occasional lowfat hamburger or keilbasa sausage dish thrown in for variety.

Have not had one. Single. Wine cooler. Since I've moved out, and haven't wanted one (or any sort of alcohol) at all.

Am drinking mostly ice water, with the occasional Lime Diet Coke, as well as coffee and one 8oz cup of V8 juice and one 8oz of OJ with vitamin D and calcium with breakfast each morning.

...and I'm actually thinking of cutting out the coffee, too.

Hmn...should I?

No. Coffee is good for you, as long as you stick to 1-2 cups a day. If you are worried about calories go to non fat or low fat creamer and splenda (it really does taste just like sugar).

Yes, why not?

Or switch to 'good' loose teas. Or chocolate for caffein.

I see you're worried about teeth, so, coffee does stain for sure.

Try going to half-caff first. Even one cup of fullcaff coffee is enough caffeine that cutting it out cold turkey can lead to a few days of really awful headaches.

If you do

don't go cold turkey. At one point, many, many years ago, I went from 6-8 cups a day to no caffeine at all. I started Monday and on Wednesday my manager sent me home because I was useless.

I agree with Clue, try half caff if you can. Another option would be just cut back the number of cups.

Personally, I would cut back, not cut out.
