Today we’re going to talk about how much coffee a person should drink and what can happen if someone drinks too much coffee. Coffee contains caffeine, which blocks a certain chemical that makes you sleepy. 

Consuming too much coffee can affect cortisol and adrenaline. Cortisol can help regulate your blood sugars if they’re too low. But, cortisol decreases insulin sensitivity. So, if your cortisol is too high, it can knock you out of ketosis. 

Cortisol spikes at about 8:30 am. If you drink coffee throughout the day, you’re continually spiking cortisol. As you do that, you start stressing out the body, which has side effects. Spiking adrenaline can also put you into fight or flight mode. 

If a person wants to drink coffee, I think they should consume no more than 8 oz. of coffee in one day. 

Potential side effects of consuming too much coffee:
• Fatigue 
• Insomnia 
• Less ketosis
• Anxiety 
• Less cognitive function 
• Decreased serotonin 
• Tight neck 
• Less digestion 
 
A few good things to try:
• Decaf coffee
• Teeccino
• Tea (naturally decaffeinated)

Thanks for watching! You may feel better if you cut back on the coffee you’re consuming.

You have taken away my sugar, you have taken away my bread, you have taken away my tortillas, you have taken away my hash browns and now you come for my coffee? This is where I draw the line! 😀

Anyone else here drink more than 8oz / 250ml of coffee per day.

This makes me sad. Coffee is my comfort. Coffee is my blood. Coffee makes me happy when I am sad. Coffee is there to calm me when I get mad. Coffee is good for me. Please don't make me sad.

6 months ago I suffered severe anxiety and stress from some life events, caught me by surprise as I never had such symptoms or experience before. I had about 5 anxiety attacks, I later realised they happened each time I consumed caffeine. Coffee, green tea, black tea and even Diet Coke/Pepsi. My anxiety was so high caffeine triggered these attacks. I stopped caffeine, made and did other changes and I’m about 95% better. If you are having a rough time stay away dying caffeine.

low-to-moderate doses of caffeine can increase alertness, larger amounts may lead to anxiety or edginess.👍

My ex girlfriend used to drink four to five large pots of coffee a day. She was very pleasant to be around until the last pot hit. When she drank that, suddenly her skin would turn yellow, then her neck would stretch out and look out, it was time to leave or your head would be torn off. It was the coffee that was doing it to her. She had a total personality change.

It's self-regulating. When you've had your limit your hand shakes too much to hold the cup.

Here is my saying:

“Coffee: It’s 99% pure water!”

[mikeg]

So what your saying is, my half-gallon of coffee per day is no good?

[WendyAllenPatton]

I weaned off Caffeine years ago. Just one cup of decaf for me a day and I feel great! Thanks Dr B!

[romanjoe]

Great guidance on coffee! I was overdoing it for years and developed panic attacks. Down to 1 cup plus decaf and absolutely no more issues. From half-caf to decaf.

[Wiildseed]

I WILL NEVER GIVE UP COFFEE, NEEEEVEEER!!!! 😭😔

My first thing in morning is Coffee. That's All

I was feeling a little peckish. I ate breakfast four hours ago, ( in Central Europe) so right this minute I'm drinking coffee with coconut oil, erythritol, and a few grains of Himalayan pink. Now I can focus until dinner. I love this.

[inerfyr]

I used to drink a LOT of coffee and I think it has messed up my gut. I feel bloated constantly, and my bowl movements do not smell the greatest. I just started a fast, going to try for 72hrs and I've cut coffee out of my diet for a while. Thanks for your videos

Watching my girlfriend eat six ice cream sandwiches in five minutes raises my cortisol and kicks me out of ketosis.

[brendaquinones]

What about people like me? I drink coffee all through the day. I often have a cup of coffee before bed and go right to sleep after .coffee has never kept me awake or given me energy through out the day.whats wrong with me?
