There are FIVE big problems about caffeine.

1. We drink too much. More than ever before. The average coffee drinker consumes 2-3 cups per day. This is too much caffeine in our blood. It has too long of a half life and we build up a dependence on it. If you are grouchy until you have your coffee, you have too much of it in your body.

2. We become dependent. Caffeine can be addictive, due to what it does with our serotonion receptors, stopping caffeine intake can make you crabby.

3. We drink it when we are stressed. Caffeine has been shown to increase cortisol at rest, drinking coffee re-creates the stress conditions for the body. The problem is people consume caffeine during stressful periods…which actually ADDS to your stress.

4. We build up an intolerance. Our chronic consumption increase insulin resistance. Couple this with inactivity, poor dieting and our stressful lives; coffee can be bad for our body composition.

5. We don’t use it right. Coffee is meant to be used as a mental boost, not a dietary staple. Our high consumption renders it useless.

Its clear there are adverse side effects of chronic consumption. We need to reduce the total consumption of coffee. I’d recommend the following. Limit your coffee to one six ounce cup maximum a day. This will reduce your dependence and increase the caffeine’s uptake in your body.

For those that train hard, you can use caffeine as a pre-workout stimulant 20 minutes to exercise. The key is to consume it infrequently, only before working out and in the right doses. The dosing protocol for caffeine is the following:

As a PRE-WORKOUT boost, used infrequently, it help with focus and alertness.

1.0 mg / per pound of bodyweight
2.2mg/per KG of bodyweight

If you are 150 pounds, that would be 150 mg of caffeine. You can take this in tablet form, or in the form of coffee. One 8 ounce cup of coffee= 100-150 mg.

If you don’t drink coffee, you don’t need to start to get a good workout. And if you do drink coffee, dial it back and use it only around your workouts for a mental boost. Your body will thank you.
