Caffeine can contribute to insulin resistance. So I would limit yourself to 1-2 cups in the morning if any. The problem is that people put tons of cream and sugar in their coffee. I would stick to 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream or even better drink it black. Definitely no sugar.
Yes, as long as it is limited to 1-2 cups a day.
Yes, unless you're pregnant or have a heart condition, but avoid the cappuccino and frappuccino.
