I could not even imagine life without SOME coffee.

I cut way back from my previous levels of up to 10 cups a day (yes I really did drink that much of it). Now I have 2 large mugs in a day. I do not believe it has affected my weight loss at all. I do think the massive amounts I had consumed before was just plain unhealthy... so I am glad I have cut back. I drink my coffee black and I always include it in my carb counts for the day.

When I am at home (like today being a holiday) I may have up to 3 large mugs. It is a "treat" for me to enjoy a good cup of excellent coffee. The smell is definitely part of the enjoyment.
