Caffeine / Stim overuse

[Jimmyjames]

Ok guys, random topic.
I really rely on caffeine and other legal stims to help me train and get me through work. Some of the negatives for me, are:

1) I will choose coffee over food! When I wake up, I will usually hydrate first, take my supps on an empty stomach, then the coffee binge begins. I usually have 2-3 cups while getting my day started. Of course I force myself to eat during this time because i'm not hungry from the caffeine.
This was an issue I battled while on cycle. So I end up eating about an hour to 1 1/2 hrs after waking. Do you guys eat immediately upon waking? I hit the gym about 10:30am (because I work swing shift). Then I take my pre-workout while driving over (Some days I don't need it).

Of course when cutting, this is great, but I do this 365 days a year!

Other stims I have used were Modafinil (which didnt work for me....mentally or physically) and BronkAid/ ECA stack and Clen. I have been blessed in areas of High BP, cholesterol etc. In other words the Stims never really change my actual BP in a negative way.

Am I alone on this? Other than the food issue of course,

J

You might have something going on if you have to rely on caffeine to keep you going. Stimulates will definitely suppress your appetite. Try limiting your coffee in the morning and I would be careful what pre workout you use.
When I wake up I have to eat within 30 minutes or I start to become grumpy and I'm usually hungry when I first wake up. I only drink one or two cups of coffee in the morning and then 30 minutes before I workout I take a 200mg caffeine pill.

it sounds to me like you have a very very heavy dependence on caffeine which is not good at all... you need to be careful eating right when you wake up as it can cause some stomach discomfort... i ease into it... i take a few bites of yogurt and papaya right when i get up and then about 1 hour later i have my egg whites and peanut butter before i start cardio then another small meal afterwards... i would not be so dependent on stims like that man... its not a good thing.... i dont use caffeine at all.... not saying you cannot but you should never be dependent upon it... .

After hearing you talk about it, I actually tried this for the first time like a week or two ago. I didn't think it sounded like a,good combo together, but it really is tasty and I enjoy it. It's a nice variation to have for my eggs while adding some good healthy fats

Hell. Yeah, Peanut Butter is the gold of flavor. Sorry I didn't see this thread earlier to alert the PB FEVER !!!
The shear alternative is the PB2 powder, I sprinkle that stuff all over the halo ice cream for treats & almost every pro shake !!!

This thread made me thirsty. Double fisting espresso and a Monster now. Thanks.

Been on that stim roller-coaster and it is an addiction just like anything else. I still battle with it. My drink of choice are the zero calorie Rock Stars and they do tend to suppress my appetite. I have noticed that since I started MK677 at the start of the year, that my appetite stays strong with or without the caffeine intake.

Good luck.

Not that it's the healthiest thing, but have you guys ever tried peanut butter on pizza? The way it melts into all the nooks and crannies is so damn delicious. Haven't done that in a long ass time. Peanut butter does indeed go on almost anything. Lol
Sorry, a bit off topic there.

Me personally, I can't eat first thing in the morning. The first thing on my mind is coffee. After about 2-3 cups and an hour after waking I'll eat some yogurt and fruit.
