Let's talk CAFFEINE!
We bet you don't think of it like a drug... but it is!
A stimulant to be specific, that can cause many adverse effects if consumed in high dosages.
Do you track caffeine intake? You should!!
What is the ideal dosing? Between 200-300 mg PER DAY is our recommendation.
When should you dose it? Ideally right before or during your workout, so that you perform at your highest ability and therefore get the MOST out of your daily workout!
Drinking too much caffeine can actually affect your weight loss/fat loss goals.
Why? Because it puts our body into a constant fight or flight adrenaline and recovery state.
If your cortisol levels are high from the caffeine response, your body is trying to repair and recover from that stress. Weight loss or fat loss is NOT going to occur in that type of state.
In order to be comfortable with getting rid of body fat, your body has to be in an ideal and balanced state. Stress and stress hormones are a BIG adversary to this!!
So what's the take-away here?? Be AWARE of how much caffeine you are consuming and WHY you are drinking the amount that you are. Is it so that you can just complete basic functions? Is it once a day, twice a day, or more? We recommend you track & log your intake and then assess your next steps afterwards based on your results.
