Can you use a caffeine high to help replace food for weight loss?

I know this is not the most ideal plan but They say the easiest way to quit one addiction is to get another, and this seems like a better plan than taking up smoking or heroin lol,

I'm trying to lose weight and give up sugar, I've never been a coffee drinker, I don't really know how it affects people except that it's a stimulant and gives people a little buzz, so if I drank tea/coffee every time I got sugar craving or a crash in energy would that work?

As long as it's not something like sweet tea or a frappucino, it might help. A healthier way to go about it might be (instead of just drinking lots of caffeine) slowly switching from sugary drinks to water and other unsweetened things and also beginning to exercise.

Big, stark changes are hard to handle, so just go slow. If you drink things like sweet tea or soda now, consider cutting back on the amount of sugar you have (by cutting sweet tea with unsweetened tea and cutting regular soda with diet soda or water) week by week. Start an exercise program, but if you're really out of shape, start with something really easy. For example, make walking a priority - take the stairs rather than elevators wherever you go. If you have friends who play sports, see if you can start playing with them. Try Couch-to-5k if you're interested in running (one of the cheapest and most convenient ways to get exercise there is). As you exercise more, you'll crave water to replace the stuff you sweated out - this helps with the sugar replacement thing. Exercise also gives you something to focus on - a new "addiction" for you.

Yes, especially in the first two weeks caffeine can help as a fat burner, appetite suppressant and maintain metabolism.

Tea's caffeine level won't do much. A cup of coffee three times a day does a little.

It works better when stacked with ephedrine.

If you're going to run the stack, you need to build up to it over a number of days, and the full stack would be 20 mg ephedrine 200 caffeine, 3 times per day.

You're right both ways. Yes, a caffeine addcition will cut your appetitie, and so long as you're not pumping the coffee full of sugar and milk, you can get some weight loss results.

But it's also unhealthy and will lead to weakness, even fainting spells, if you keep it up. And you can also get high blood pressure from constant overdoses of caffeine, so it's not a wise course for a long term weight loss plah!
