dear jm<br>caffeine does not slow down weightloss. in fact it can raise your basic metabolic rate slightly because it is after all, a stimulant. so i think that has happened here is that you had very dramatic weightloss during the first 2 weeks, but that you have now slowed down to a steady loss rate. it is perfectly normal to lose about 0,5 kg per week and slow, but steady weightloss is preferable to a rapid loss which can lead to just as rapid a regain. so stick to your diet and persevere. if you feel up to it, try and do some physical activity like going for a walk once a day for about 30 min. start slowly and then increase how fast and far you walk as you lose more weight and get fitter.<br>hang in there<br>dietdoc
According to a common rule of thumb, if something having less than 50 calories is consumed by you while fasting, then there is nothing to worry about as you will remain in the state of fast.


Coffee does not contain any calories itself, thus you can easily take black coffee while fasting if you want to take it. In fact, most of the calorie-free drinks can be consumed while fasting. However, diet drinks containing artificial sweeteners are not recommended by some dietitians. coffee can make blepharospasm or twitching worse. try to switch to decaf. mixed drinks are pretty bad in the fattening department. alcohol tends to have a lot of calories [7 per gram], and all those mixers add in a lot more, mostly in the form of sugar. wine or light beer, or straight shots of hard liquor, have less calories. any kind of alcohol slows your metabolism for a few hours though. increase your fluid intake, have water at every 1hour also include fruit juices, shakes , coconut water etc. refrain from caffeine as it causes dehydration. foods don't burn fat, but there are some people trying to sell that idea. our bodies are in balance. if we eat more calories than we use, we gain weight. if we eat fewer calories than we use, we lose weight. people who stay the same weight eat more than they use on some days, and less than they use on other days... but it averages out over time. eating fewer calories than needed, will burn fat. see more... if you indeed do have mh then you should have been treated in a hospital setting. not only can it cause a deadly increase in muscle metabolism, but it also can increase heart rate. i would recommend against any stimulant like caffeine right now. make sure with your doctor that you have mh. mh is a medical emergency! are we talking about a first date? if so, of the dates you listed, a quick coffee date is most ideal.it's a calm, quiet atmosphere where you can talk and get to know each other. i think it's important to focus your attention on your date so you can see if you have chemistry. a coffee date is casual, you don't have to dress up too much or spend a lot of money.and it can be quick, if things aren't going well you're not stuck spending time together.if it's not a first date, any of them are fine with me. i'm laid back, as long as we're having fun, spending time together it doesn't matter what we do. eat a well balanced diet. eating more, smaller meals instead of 3 big meals can help. exercise more-depending on what you have or if you go to a gym. you could always run on a treadmill, the eliptical machines are good. core secrets by gunnar peterson (he works with a lot of celebrities) is a good workout system do you have dry eyes and a really calm disposition?i too fall asleep really easily. i have to drink coffee all the time. i think i should drink more water but i can't seem to do it.breathing problems like what? low breathing?like really calm? thats the only thing i can think of because thats my problem. a low carb diet basically focuses on meat (hopefully lean protein like chicken or pork) with high fiber, low starch vegetables like leafy greens. avoid grains and avoid root vegetables, as these are high in starch. of course, avoid sugary snacks, as well. see more...
