CAFFEINATED DRINKS MAKE YOU FAT!

WHAAAATTT??????

So many people are not aware that their coffee and caffeinated drinks actually can make them fat.

So many studies show caffeinated drinks speed up the metabolism. An accelerated metabolism is not always a good thing. 

Millions of men and women stroll into fitness classes, meetings or start their day with their large cup o’ Joe….if they only knew the real truth.

Studies have shown the effects of caffeine on the adrenal glands, thyroid and hormonal system and in general they end up producing a stress response as the glands are being “overstimulated” increasing cortisol (a stress hormone) levels keeping the body in the flight or fight stage.  

Sadly so many men and women believe a cup of coffee (or three in a super sized cup) to give them a jolt is good, in actual fact it’s wreaking havoc on the body system. The adrenals, thyroid, metabolism etc. just keeps chugging along and eventually slows down in minute unnoticeable amounts….day after day until they just slow down completely, change our metabolism or just burn out altogether, showing up as fatigue, sluggishness, excess tiredness etc.

Being aware of how your food choices affect your whole body is a good thing, a green smoothie to boost your energy before or after a workout would be a better choice. If a food or drink is making you jittery, shaky, angry and cranky maybe it’s not such a bad thing to skip it altogether.

Try going without caffeine for a few days or weeks and see if you are more mellow, peaceful and energized. Don't forget you may experience some symptoms as your body withdraws from the caffeine. If this happens, drink lots of water and fresh fruit juices to flush your system and do deep breathing while telling yourself softly.....and this too shall pass :o)
