When I start new programs for body toning and weight loss, they usually provide a diet. These diets always tell you to stop caffeine completely. Why? I went to curves, dropped 2 sizes, but my fat index remained the same. They asked if drank caffeine. Yes!

A friend of mine is on two different medicines for her bipolar disorder. Her medication dosage has increased constantly, and it has me wondering about some things about the medication.

This particular friend smokes cigarettes on a regular basis. In addition, she constantly drinks caffeine shots. I know that cigarettes are unhealthy on their own and that caffeine is a drug. However, I am wondering how either or both can affect her body and mind along with the mood stabilizing drugs.

Could the caffeine and/or cigarettes have anything to do with her medication dosage being increased?

Thank you

I’ve looked at different questions regarding the effects of pop and bones and a lot of the answers have been floating around caffeine as the cause. So I would assume caffeine free would be the lesser of two evils?

Angela asked:


I have a really bad pepsi addiction. Well, more it’s that I am afraid of getting a caffeine headache. The trouble is is that I also have migraines. I’ve tried to stop soda before, however I got caffeine headaches that most of the time turned to a full blown migraine. Which puts me out of commission. I have two toddlers, so I don’t have time to be out with a migraine. Any suggestions other than caffeine pills? The caffeine pills don’t seem to work and are awfully expensive when trying to compensate with them.

Surfer asked:


I heard coffee/caffeine puts the body in some kind of emergency mode,since our body was not meant to consume caffeine.This “emergency mode” is due to the system trying to get rid of the caffeine;therefore not absorbing the important and essential nutrients from food.

I know there are going to be desserts there, but I don’t plan to touch those too much since I’m a bit of a health kick. I’m also a runner training for a half marathon. Even without the sweets and with the running, am I still doomed to gain the freshman 15?
