Question about alcohol and caffeine

[Beau82]

I'm slowly starting a sway as my husband hasn't officially agreed to a 5th but I feel lIke he might soon . I'm easing into the LE diet and have added alcohol and caffeine into my daily diet. I thought I was doing OK but now I'm thinking I'm not really.
I've been skipping breakfast but I have at least one large cup of coffee in the morning with flavoured creamer added along with another either right after that or after I have lunch. Is that considered a breakfast since it isn't calorie-free? Should I be drinking it black or does the small amount of creamer make a big difference?
Secondly, I drink white wine every night well after dinner. Is that considered snacking?

I'm interested in this question too, because I also have coffee with creamer in the morning too. Regarding the wine, it is considered snacking if it's consumed well after a meal. Ideally you should have the alcohol with your meal. Whether it's a big deal to have it on it's own is something I don't know, and I'd also be interested to find that out.

I'm the same with coffee , In the morning to get me through til noon when I have my first meal I fill the gap with 2 coffees , with splenda and a little skim milk,I asked atomic about this and she said it was ok . Maybe best to switch to skim milk if u can .

Hmm, maybe I'll try to switch up the coffee. I've gradually reduced the amount of creamer I add over the last couple of months. I never drank any coffee at all with my boys so it was totally new to me. I think I could eventually work my way to black coffee. I definitely want to give myself the best chance at getting pink.

I'm the same , wanna give myself the best chances at it, as this will be it for me. I personally think that having Alittle skim in ur coffee just fill the gap won't hurt, on the other hand stressing about being hungry will, it may raise your T levels, so a coffee to relax u which does for me just to get me through til the next meal makes sense... And were lucky we can have ☕.. I love it
The over all diet is what counts , so if your sticking between the limits, going to go vegetarian, maybe exercise if you can cause I think its really important .. That's what matters. All the best

A little creamer in your coffee is fine, though completely black is ideal. I'd try to have the wine as close to dinner as possible, as it is definitely snacking otherwise. If you're only having 2 meals a day wine could count as your 3rd, especially if It's much later after dinner.

Thanks for asking this question because i've been wondering it too.

Also does anyone know if we are allowed to drink diet soda,crystal light, coconut water throughout the day or is that considered snacking? I never drink and eat at the same time so is 20 minutes after a meal ok to have wine?

I didn't think coconut water was advised for pink swayers? Diet coke etc is fine throughout the day

I'm pretty sure it's okay. Atomic mentioned the 'Nirvana' brand on my sway.

I've never drank coffee really, and especially not diet sodas.
Am thinking the same as a lot of you ladies, may add soda or coffee as first 'meal' of day. Would diet soda be better than coffee ?

[carebear1st]

Oh isn't it! i've been drinking it everyday(for potassium) Its down in the pink 5 day meal plan maybe that's outdated.


Edited; Phew was worried there.

I have coffee as a filler in the morning and only one cup a day, im not a big coffee drinker either. I've switched from decaf to add caffeine into my diet because i don't drink fizzy sodas
