...yeah...we don't even have room for that.
Dr. Fuhrman says coffee is addictive. Yes. Yes, it is.
I think I've tried to quit coffee at least once a year for the last 10.
But this time is for real, and I'll tell you why.
I am really trying to follow Dr. Fuhrman's Eat to Live Diet 100%. So, I put the coffee away on Day 1, but then I pulled it out again on Day 4....for the totally logical reason that I have creamer in the fridge, and I'd hate for it to go to waste!
When talking about food addiction, Dr. F says we lie to ourselves so that we can indulge in our addiction. So, I told myself I had to finish of the gallon of creamer.
On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings I made my 2 Cups of coffee, and drank my coffee...and skipped breakfast. My hunger level is so low right now, that I didn't feel hungry at all for breakfast. The problem with this became evident later when I was thinking about what I had eaten during the day, and all three days had only 0 or 1 piece of fruit. Dr. F wants us eating 2-4 pieces of fruit.
So, I have a choice -
Eat fruit for nutrients, drink coffee because I love it....and be about 300 calories over every day
OR
Drink coffee because I just can't say no, skip the fruit....and be short on the immune boosting and cancer fighting nutrients I know I need.
OR
Say goodbye to coffee. When my friends are drinking coffee, pull out a yummy piece of fruit and enjoy the fellowship. Be healthy. Lose weight. Feel amazing.
Goodbye Coffee!
