The Ugly Truth About Coffee’s Effect on PCOS

[@PCOSWeightLoss]

Hi Cysters! In this video, you'll learn whether coffee is good or bad for PCOS! Let me know in the comments if you feel addicted to coffee or caffeine in general!

[@madhurishinde1380]

Addicted

[@shinusehravania3051]

If i consume black coffee without sugar and Cream would it be still bad for PCOS

[@vash7995]

No addicted but I love to drink it😊...sometime like weekly once is just fine ri8?

[@ashash1338]

I don't necessarily drink coffee to wake up, I just really like the taste. I also like tea, but nothing's better than a good ice coffee 😌

[@cubana6352]

Yes! Same here!

[@nathaliea9675]

Me too! I drink it for taste, not energy!

[@user33housecats]

agreed, I love the taste and I am not above buying expensive decaf for the taste, or mixing my coffee with Teeccino (no-caf) herbal coffee, so I can reserve the taste w/less caffeine

[@Juiceka9]

Ugh. I drink coffe for the flavor and I love the taste. Not for the caffeine effects!! And yes I have tried decaf but it's not as smooth and good tasting :(

[@PCOSWeightLoss]

Even just cutting down can help 💕

[@prettygurl8843]

This is soooo meeeee I be half asleep during the day and awake at night , I don’t even weight myself anymore because I feel like it’s traumatizing for me and I get all depressed because is sooo hard too loose weight especially with insulin resistance and it’s so difficult once I go to the store and try and buy foods that are good for me but I really don’t know which foods are gluten free

[@valentine2758]

Watching this video while drinking coffee 😂 more seriously, just found out your channel and it’s really clear and helping me to get on the right track again, I feel like people (included doctors) give us a lot of bad advices and I just get lost and tend to stop trying to get better… so thank you !

[@Donghae4myvalentine]

I can’t say I’m free from pcos nor do i 100% have it, but recently after some consultations with a doctor, we’ve discovered that i have the tendency to get a pcos. I have weight problems, irregular menstruations since school, and im a sponge - i get stressed easily and absorbed other people’s stress. I dont rely on coffee/caffeine at all but i just crave for those special drinks sometimes. I’m still struggling on the right diet and i of course lack exercise. Sigh

[@hakunamatata5703]

Me as well 😟

[@vash7995]

Same here but I'm trying to exercise daily

[@hello_honnay]

I was in the middle of a cup of coffee while watching this video and stopped mid-sip and threw it out while crying on the inside 😂

[@FlourButtaSuga]

Day 5 without ☕ and I'm actually sleeping better! I'm now making hot cocoa with dairy free creamer and stevia or herbal teas.

[@jessicabelda7735]

I might mix decaf in with my reg coffee to slowly cut out and switch to green tea. I knew I most likely would have to. Coffee is so nice to keep the depression away and get the workouts going. And it tastes so good! Oh well, it’ll be worth the weight loss. Thank you! Great video with good info!

[@Maddy_4321]

I feel more relaxed after having my tea but anything more than two cups of tea or coffee will give me jitters and anxiety I think moderation is the key

[@dorkygyrl]

Thank you for this in depth explanation Tallene. Funnily enough, coffee isn't for me anyways as I can drink a cup of coffee and fall asleep within 15 minutes of consuming it and stay asleep. Plus, I LOVE to douse my coffee in creamer and sugar to the point I don't even taste the coffee. :P Unrelated question. I have been feeling sad lately, having to give up both gluten and dairy. I've started and stopped and started this process for the past 5 months. Have you ever gone back to eating them sparingly during special occasions, holidays, or even while on vacation? Or do you stick strictly to gluten and dairy free. What about lactose free foods? I--and I am sure others--would be extremely interested in seeing a video discussing this matter. :)

[@ayeshaali16]

Did you see any changes in your symptoms ?? After going gluten and dairy free?

[@dorkygyrl]

@@ayeshaali16 i actually accidentally discovered i was intolerant to both gluten and dairy. not even joking, a *week* into cutting dairy out, my bacne (back acne) diminished and went away. there was no more new painful acne forming. the annoyance of having to clear my throat CONSTANTLY from mucus went away. the bloating of my stomach went down, then completely stopped. my stomach stopped gurgling at night. with gluten, the heels of my feet stopped hurting and i could walk without pain. the pain in my wrist stopped. both of those were caused by inflammation. my serborric dermatitis (really bad dandruff caused by excess of oil on the head) went away. the pain in my lower back went away. i stopped being constantly lethargic. it’s funny. noting all these down just reminded WHY i’m doing it and why i have to stick to it. as soon i introduced gluten and dairy back, ALL those symptoms came back. cut it out, symptoms stopped. i have a LONG way to go with keeping up and practicing a gluten/dairy free lifestyle. but i think i can do it this time. long time health benefits FAR outweigh the satisfaction of a piece of bread. and honestly, the inflammation and pain is not worth it. 🥰🥰

[@PCOSWeightLoss]

I definitely weigh the benefits of eating gluten/dairy and not. I never feel like I’m depriving myself at all and will occasionally have a bit, but I know that it may impact my symptoms, so I always keep that in mind! 😍

[@dorkygyrl]

@@PCOSWeightLoss thank you for replying. the benefits WAY outweigh the risks. i just need to remind myself that there are alternatives for the foods i do miss. and most importantly, eating it once in a while is not necessarily a bad thing. 🥰🥰

[@dorkygyrl]

@Okami Amaterasu haha. i get it. it is *tough* to give up something you love, that’s in most things. if you can, try to minimize how much of it you eat. and note down if your body reacts differently when you eat it vs. when you avoid it. 😉💚

[@rowenamariahespejo7024]

Hi dear thank you a lot for this info. I'm a coffee addict but lately it the 4-5 cups of coffee I took daily has been reduced to only one cup per day and sometimes am not even taking one. I was diagnosed of having PCOS since 2013.

[@PCOSWeightLoss]

You are doing great! Even cutting down can help 🥰 proud of you!

[@angelmaria7236]

this came in my notification just after i had coffee ! btw this was really informative♥

[@PCOSWeightLoss]

Thank you..so glad you enjoyed it!

[@offgunislife3069]

Coffee to me doesnt affect my sleep patterns or energy but everytime i drink it i feel pain in my abdomen..so i stopped drinking it

[@PCOSWeightLoss]

I’m glad you listened to your body Cyster! ❤️

[@vash7995]

Same here

[@soulnspired888]

I only drink decaf. Is that okay? I also get decaf Americana when I go to Starbucks. Is that okay?

[@PCOSWeightLoss]

If you find that it doesn’t exacerbate your symptoms, then go for it!

[@soulnspired888]

@@PCOSWeightLoss thanks! I enjoy a cup of decaf in the rising and I love the smell.

[@NataliaGomez-pf7yk]

Hello Cyster :) i LOVE your videos. I found you and your amazing videos Tuesday. Feeling overwhelmed and lost with the diagnosis but after bin watching your videos i feel SOOO much better and UNDERSTOOD. Makes a huge difference when you find someone that understands or can relate to your situation. So anyway thank you!!! :)

[@PCOSWeightLoss]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so honored to be able to help my fellow Cysters 💕💕💕

[@tutuldok]

i drink 4 cups of iced black coffee a day. i tried to switch to decaf and ended up with withdrawal symptoms, specifically sciatica pain (lower back and my legs). trying to switch to tea... good luck to me!

[@jessicadavies898]

So is it coffee or caffeine that’s the issue? I am actually switching to green tea (as of today). I’ve deceived no more coffee because I thought coffee was the issue not the caffeine…

[@grace28181]

Please can you let me know about L-carnitine for pcos weight loss Tallene.

[@MayJailer333]

We do decaf now. Caffeine disrupts my therapeutic progesterone, and causes more bleeding and cramping.

[@grace28181]

Tallene, Please can you let me know about L-carnitine for pcos weight loss? And wat time should we take it.

[@moonstrike100]

I don't smoke, drink or party and now I have to cut caffenie/coffee? ;(

[@PCOSWeightLoss]

It’s totally up to you! You can try cutting down to see if it has an impact on your body and decide from there 💖

[@ruthcleland5499]

I usually have 1-2 cups per day but when my coffee gets low I only have 1 cup because I use it in the morning when I have my collagen powder. But I have always felt very relaxed and calm when drinking coffee, tea and even hot chocolate, I have never groggy, jittery etc. so am I missing something or is it possible that these beverages don't affect my PCOS symptoms like they would possibly others??

[@muhammadmahad8046]

Hi Dear can you let me know that PCOS patient can take coffe with lemon only one cup per day?

[@sofieelfakhery]

How much coffee should be allowed to drink? I drink once a day a cup of coffee or two small cups Turkish coffee. is this fine or is it too much?

[@petrichorweather350]

I knew i loved the sunset for a chemical reason too

[@d93x4]

I just threw my coffee away! 😐 Do you recommend if I can have a decaf coffee during late evenings? 🥺

[@PCOSWeightLoss]

It is a better option, but still can have trace amounts of caffeine so just keep that in mind! 🥰

[@sadetkasadetka8386]

Can I drink green tea 🍵? Or noncofeine coffee ☕️?

[@aleksandraprivet49]

Even a tiny amount of caffeine makes me really sick. I never used to be like this, but Im not sure it's related to pcos either haha

[@Carefree_Stephanie]

I too feel like I need coffee in the morning to get my brain going but it gives me terrible anxiety and jitters. So I recently switched to a morning smoothy. That turned out to not be such a great idea as well because it actually gave me tons of energy but nervous energy and now I'm having difficulty sleeping at night. What should I do? Anyone have any ideas for a morning meal that will give me energy but not cause anxiety & weight gain?

[@PCOSWeightLoss]

I know what you mean! I tried to have 35 to 40 g of protein inmy breakfast! That gives me energy without the anxiety 💕

[@Carefree_Stephanie]

@@PCOSWeightLoss Thank you so much! I will try this. 💜

[@jenniferibarra7737]

Try black tea it gives me natural energy and euphoria . And it’s long all day lasting energy . Unlike coffee only a few hours then a crash . And Black Tea has a lot of antioxidants but make sure you get good quality it also helped my gut health a lot .

[@therealslimshadyyyy09]

Hello, I'm a new subscriber. Earlier i used to have 3 cups of coffee everyday. But after my diagnosis, i completely cut down on coffee and felt sleepy all the time. Now, I've a very important exam in the last month of the year and i need to have coffee. So i usually take a cup a day or sometimes even spearmint tea helps. So is it okay if i take only a cup everyday? Also, drinking coffee does not affect my sleep, i fall alseep as soon as I'm on my bed😂

[@mrsaliciatucker]

I only have one cup a day and I don't have trouble sleeping... I just don't want that daily cup of coffee to make it harder for me to have a baby (I'm not trying yet but I'm thinking ahead). Any thoughts anyone?

[@cubana6352]

I drink 1 cup of coffee a day and had 4 kids. It really depends on each person. And I was diagnose with PCOS a few years ago but I believe I had it for a long while now.
