Does coffee reduce appetite?

[Deja Q]

The last couple of weeks, I've drank 3~6 cups of coffee each morning. And yet not end up hyper enough to bounce off the walls.

I'll make a basic lunch...

And then struggle to make and eat dinner; I seem to be discarding more food than caring to eat it and I don't like wasting food.

Should I be worried?

1. Yes, caffeine is an appetite surpressant.

If you start losing drastic amounts weight, have a racing heart, feel faint, ect., I'd start worrying. I'm not a doctor though.:shrug:

3. Cool.

Nothing so major yet, and I am exercising in order to lose weight...

As for anything else, I will accept it as it is meant to be.

2. Yes. Theobromine and caffiene, both in coffee, suppress appetite...

except for some of us for whom it creates a massive desire for cheesecake.

4. For me, the word "cheesecake" creates a massive desire for cheesecake.

5. Ah yes, the chicken or the chicken conundrum.

6. Caffeine is also a diuretic...

...so make sure you keep your non-coffee fluid intake up. Don't want to be getting dehydrated.
