coffee in the mornings?

Okay, so I have completely stopped eating any meat, drinking cows milk and any processed stuff. I am doing fruit and veggies all the time. When I started this about a month ago I wieghed 150, I just wieghed this morning and am down to 144. So not too bad. I was wondering though, should I stop drinking my coffee in the morning? I DO love 2 cups of coffee in the morning. I put two teaspoons of sugar and two teaspoons of creamer in it. Do you recommend I stop doing the coffee? Also, is having an avacodo and almond milk smoothie for breakfast a bad idea? I have read conflicting info about avacodo being a good fat to have instead of a fat.

Thanks for your input.

    Over the last couple years it's been a roller coaster for me and coffee. I LOVE coffee, but it doesn't love me. It makes me spacy and shaky and super lightheaded. It hasn't always done that, but as I've become more aware of my body, I've become more sensitive as well. I wouldn't punish yourself if you want the coffee. Let your body tell you what you want. I drink black chai tea now with some almond milk and agave and that wakes me up, but doesn't give me the negative affects that coffee does. =)

    Kombucha gives you lots of energy without the caffeine and it has lots of health benefits to it like Probiotics and other good Digestive Enzymes - at the very least try switching to green tea

    My technique in getting off coffee is to just have one cup per day for a week or so (if you're having more than that) then switch to black tea for about a week, then green tea, then herbal tea. This way, you are easing your body off the caffeine. For me, the coffee isn't necessarily the addiction, its that I like to have something warm and tasty in the morning. So, the teas work well for me. When you are down to herbal tea, maybe you'll want to make the switch to warm water with lemon and/or ginger or something else that is tasty and considered raw.

    And, I agree with others that making too many changes at once can shock the system and make you swing back into bad SAD eating. Good luck!
