Wouldn't it be wonderful if drinking coffee could prevent diabetes? We could add coffee to dark chocolate and red wine on the list of foods that were once thought of as "vices" and are now "health foods." As more and more research comes out about the health benefits of coffee, it looks like coffee may be just what the doctor ordered for lowering your diabetes risk and improving your long-term health.

Coffee Reduces Diabetes Risk

When it comes to doing studies, coffee is a great thing to look at. People are so routine and predictable in the number of cups of coffee they have every day, it makes a pretty reliable survey questions. Researchers asked 126,000 people about their coffee drinking habits as part of a larger survey over the course of 18 years. What they found is fantastic: People who drink 1 to 3 cups of coffee have a decrease in their diabetes risk. But it gets better for people who drink lots of coffee (6 or more cups a day).

These people had a 54% reduction in diabetes risk (for men) and a 30% reduction in diabetes risk for women. Another study showed even bettter results (though with less than 1000 people). In that study, current (or past) coffee drinkers had a 60% reduction of diabetes risk compared to people who never drank coffee.

Is that confirmed? As i recall, coffee was everywhere including the recruit chowhalls and with field rations. The "Juice Private" was in charge of keeping the pots brewing on mess duty.

[Lisa 23]

All I remember from when I was in boot camp 22 years ago was no coffee, just milk....white or chocolate, a fruit punch drink, and water. Those were your choices we had at 4th BN.

[Tailorie]

Yes it's confirmed that imma female.. ;D lol but I hope there's coffee if not I'll live.

[NCOPOWER]

Sounds like you will not live then. No coffee at boot.

Losing weight is quite simple. Calories in...Calories burned. A female your age should be taking in no more than 1600-1800 calories (may be a little lower) In order to lose weight you need to identify how you got overweight and only you can answer that.

Sodas, Beer, most fruit juices...OUT
Twinkies, chips, pretzels, pizza, hamburgers (Most general crap)...OUT.
Large meals? Skipping meals...OUT...you need to eat something about every 2-3 hours. Something HEALTHY. NEVER skip meals thinking your doing yourself a favor...your actually damaging your chances for weight loss.

Your target should be to lose no more than 1-2lbs a WEEK. Why is that...it allows your metabolism to adjust to the weight loss. If you lose too much weight too fast, your body will adjust and start to store more fat from the food you eat. Commonly known as "Starvation mode".

You should be running, walking or something at least 4 times a week.
