I'm addicted to coffee-help!
April 7 2006 at 7:13 PM diz-julie (Login dizzy19)
I am currently having 4 cups a day.
Any advice on how in the world to cut it out? Any one else have this problem?
Is caffeine really bad for boobie growth?

It is meant to be quite bad, I am not sure exactly what it does but something about higher testosterone levels or something?
I never really drank coffee but I would think even if you managed to cut down to 2 cups a day, ideally one that would be great. I have heard that some ladies switch to decaff after 1 or 2 cups while being on NBE, so you could try that?
Also, if you manage to come off the coffee, try to do it slow so your body can get used to it.
I really don't know what other advice to give you, if there is any other hot drink you enjoy that doesn't contain caffeine you could maybe try that? Switching to tea or something?
Sorry if this wasn't of great help but I have my fingers crossed for you, good luck,
Lisa

I read that you dont have to give it up completely, but you should try to wait at least 2 hours after taking herbs to drink coffee or soda.

I could cut down to 2 cups.
Does hot chocolate have the same effect?
The thing is when I'm at work, I sit and I drink coffee all day because it is right here and I totally dig on the vanilla flavoring. UGH>>>

Is it one of those machines that spits out all kinds of hot drinks? If there is soup maybe try that instead and there is less caffeine in tea than coffee, I am not sure how much there is in hot chocolate but it is both bound to be better than those four cups of coffee.
And as Sunset said, decaff is always an option too, although I heard that that can mess with your hormones as well?
SugarQ could really help out with this one, I just don't know enough about this topic.

They have a steady stream of folgers here and a huge stock of vanilla creamer. I will start bringing something uncaffinated. saggy boobies with coffee or perky boobies with out it...

Hi diz-julie,
I am pasting something I read, it is what people from wonderup suggest as to whether eliminating caffeine is important when taking herbal tablets for NBE:
"Extreme use of caffeine can affect progress because it stresses the glandular system, but moderate caffeine intake (up to 5 caffeinated beverages per day) is unlikely to pose any problem. However, it might possibly help if you don't take caffeinated drinks within an hour either side of taking the tablets."
Thought this might help :-) I had the same problem myself. I tried switching to other options, such as a herbal tea, didn't really work as I LOVE the taste of coffee. Note that normal tea still has caffeine, slightly lower than coffee. Chocolate has caffeine too, but less. So switching to those might help, at least it can help you become "detached" from coffee as a drink, because it IS a habbit. What I made sure was not to drink a coffee close to taking the tablets (allowed couple of hours before/after taking them). I ended up not "needing" it that much gradually, I got used to just having a cup per day now! No way, I would have said in the past! Another thing, keep in mind that brewed coffee from coffee makers, perculators etc, has much more caffeine than instant coffee.
I am sure you are going to be fine, no need to cut it completely, reduce it if you can, 2 cups a day is very sensible, might as well try a cup of decaff every now and then and generally try not to have it close to taking your tablets

I thought it was funny that the frozen yogurt was included in the list. :-)

Instant coffee (8 oz) 70 mg
Decaf coffee (8 oz) 1-5 mg

Tea - white (8 oz) 15 mg
Coca Cola (12 oz can) 34 mg

So the fact that my morning doses were actually being swallowed with my coffee is definately not good. Will stop this immediately! Goodness, the things you can learn. I could imagine myself 4 months from now all ticked cause I'm not seeing results... all the while downing the herbs with coffee.
Thanks ladies!!

That's alright Sunset, I was interested in the caffeine content myself and the website stated so many and quite specific so I thought I would post them, I didn't want to knock your book or anything though.
Have a good weekend and I hope your work isn't going to be too stressful,
take care,

I still drink it
April 7 2006, 11:57 PM
I found on another site that it is a photoestrogen. I try to drink it in the a.m. and take my herbs at night. I would not stress about it too much if you can not give it up. I would just cut down.
