 | pro plus and coffee As ive just started cutting again i have began drinking black coffee at work thinking that this helps speed the metabolism. I drink around 4-5 cups throughout the day at work. I have just read tho that coffee can increase blood sugar levels (not good for cutting). Is it just coffee that does this or caffeine in general. Would i be better taking pro plus? Any thoughts?

 | Caffeine in general increases blood sugar levels. Some suggest it is good for cutting because it makes the body use fat as a source of energy. I don't know an awful lot about it though.

| The caffeine is a stimulant that increases blood sugar levels but slightly elevates your body temperature this helps making fat stores easier to burn as a fuel source. The International Olympic Committee has put caffeine on its restricted drugs list. Amounts more than 12 milligrams per litre of urine. |

It does increase blood sugar levels. So what! The beer (that I drink) is also not good..............lol Atkins diet says to leave it alone. Fcuk that. But what if you drink a cup before lifting? Feeling good and strength is up.  Everything in moderation;) If that coffee makes you feel good (like me) then drink it.
