Coffee....Empty Stomach or Not?

[Nicole]

Someone told me yesterday that you should only drink coffee on a empty stomach or else it will "help store fat". Has anyone else heard this?

Someone once told me that it's better to drink ICE cold water , that it speeds up your metabolism because your body has to work to warm back up??!! :thunder:

That is 'technically' true, but I doubt it makes even an ounce of difference in the grand scheme of things.

But if you then don't drink the water because it hurts your throat, it doesn't help because you're going around dehydrated.

:lol:



that's exactly what ran through my mind. if I put a huge glass of water in the fridge and let it get as cold as the fridge allows, I have to take it out for an hour or so just to drink the whole glass without brain freeze. :oops:

If this were true, I would then be at least 30% BF :huh: :blink:

I usually drink my water room temp or warm, becasue I'm always cold. I would hate drinking ice cold water.

[strongchick]

Me too. I hate cold drinks.

[Fidelity]

I love cold drinks, the colder the better.

One of my favorite things to "snack" on is crushed ice. Because a lot of the time I think I am hungry, I am just bored and need something to do, so eating ice satisfies my urge without adding calories I don't need.

a cup of hot coffee empty tummy first thing in the morning makes me "go" :clap:

note: if I cant seem to on my own.. normally can.

I've actually read one of Lyle's articles and he supports this theory.

He also says that "nervous" movements like bouncing your foot when crossed can burn a couple hundred calories per day.

[Bella]

I drink a cup every morning on a empty stomach...no problems here!

I do this, too, but it numbs my mouth making it rather amusing when answering phones at work! :lol:

I use to snack on ice too, but then I tried freezing diet 7-up for a change....mmmm, it is very good!
