How much caffeine can I consume on mf and have any of you ever went off the program for a vacation and then went back to mf and continued to lose?

There are a few posts out there of people who went on vacation and came right back to Medifast and lost what the gained on vacation and then some.

Caffeine is supposed to be limited to 3 cups of coffee a day, so I'd assume 3 glass of caffeine-containing diet cola works too.

ANGELA,

Tonia has it right!

Jump back on MF (as if you never left it) and drop any pounds you have gained, and then some.

You know what to do, so girl baby, just do it!

Whilst Medifasting, your body may be more sensitive to caffeine. So the recommendation is to keep it at no more than 3 cups a day, but listen to your body; you may find you want to use less. I used to have a multiple-espresso-shots a day habit. Granted, I had significantly lowered my caffeine intake before starting Medifast, but I have found that if I have more than one cup of coffee (or one soda) in a day, it's harder to sleep. If I have two servings of caffeine close together, my heart starts racing, and I get a little shaky and more than a little irritable (a very unpleasant state of being, I might add). Not everyone will react this same way, but don't be surprised if you need (or want!) less caffeine than you did before Medifast.

Have a great vacation!

(PS I was going to use the intials for Before Medifast, like using BC or AD for dates, but then I took a look at what I'd typed and decided that was not necessarily the message I was trying to convey. )
