I remember awhile back @aciampa replied in a thread (couldn't find the thread) that being hopped up on caffeine all day predisposes one to burn sugar.
Just wondered if this would have any negative effect on conditioning and endurance?
Everyone totes the performance benefits of caffeine, but most of the studies seem to be one time events...what about chronic consumption??
Caffeine's effect on burning sugar and release of stress hormones makes me think it would predispose one to weight gain, but studies I have looked at have shown it to be weight neutral or lessen chances of obesity. Claims have also been made for health benefits.
I enjoy my cup of coffee, just wanted to start a discussion and see other people's experiences. Any weight gain? Decreased endurance or work capacity? Does the health benefits outweigh the risks?
