    Caffeine doesn't dehydrate you, that's a myth. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/caffeinated-drinks/faq-20057965 http://www.npr.org/sections/the

  • I know coffee is not on my list but since recent studies have proven it is not a dehydrating beverage and is allowed on many other Dr.'s lists, I used my own judgement and tried it. I am careful about

My NUT said one cup of coffee per day is fine. Thank God!!!!!

I was able to drink a cup 2 days in a row and it was fine and then I had one the third day and it was not fine. I'll wait a couple of weeks and try again.

I have 2 cups caffinated coffee everyday. No problem and doctor said it was fine.

I have a cup of regular coffee a day. And also drink decaf. In fact my nutritionist suggested decaf to help me get my proper amount of liquids.

First thing in the morning I have coffee. I started back on it around week 3. About 4 oz. now I'm back up to 1 cup a day. I am a lover of coffee.

But I also get in my water through the day.

I don't restrict myself from much. I just plan for healthy foods and a daily treat. Those treats would be my coffee and a low sugar dessert like Dannon sugar free yogurt or sugar free jello, Popsicles, or even berries with some Splenda on them. Yum!

I couldn't imagine life w/o a cup of coffee first thing.

My doctor doesn't want me drinking regular coffee because I suffer from heartburn since having surgery. I do drink a cup of decaf every morning after taking Prilosec though. I'm hoping that the heartburn will get better and I can go back to my regular coffee, I miss it!

Walmart and other stores I'm sure carry brands of dry creamer that are carb friendly just read the bottle, I do not so caffeine anymore since my favorite way to have coffee was with half & half, and sugar on the first cup, and on the weekends I used to do 7- 10 cups per day, but I'm glad that now I do 1 cup decaf, w/ equate, and dry creamer, still fighting the urge to go to a convenience store and grab a "Monster" just gotta keep saying no

I'm a sugar free redbull fan so I get the Monster urge! It's tough!! Actually in my diet phases I will be allowed carbonation eventually but since I'm already used to not having it I'm going to continue saying "no"

I had a nasty sugar free Monster in the purple large can I got to 2 per day sometimes, or 3 of the smaller cans, and I twice drank a 12 pack of the Red Bull while on spring break, so yeah definite NO!!!!
