    If you don't already drink it... just stick to green tea, and/or caffeine... JMO ..

    I can't stand the taste, but lots of bro's on the board drink it... it wouldn't be too bad, as long as you don't add sugar or cream... but there are easier ways to ingest caffeine besides coffee...

    You can make your own ECA/ECY stack....

    Or, simply buy caffeine powder, (same with taurine, green tea extract, yohimbine, etc..) and cap them yourself... pretty economical, and easy.

    You can get I think 200 caffeine tablets for about $12. 200mg each (2cups of coffee). Save the stains on your teeth to.

    The D&E product even works out a little less than that

    That's 6 cents per dose. Imagine all those people paying $5 to get the same 200mg at Starbucks. Ouch!

    I think black coffee rules for dieting, I may add some splenda or sweet and low to it, but no cream unless I'm bulking up. I say drink 1 cup in the morning, then drink your green tea throughout the day. Dorian Yates used to drink the fuc* outta black coffe.

    For cutting I don't see a problem, the problem for me is when bulking. I have a cup about an hour after my first meal, but eating that next meal, on time, is tough. Either I get too involved in a project or I just can't get myself to eat.
