Does Coffee or Tea harm a weight loss diet?
I am 34yrs, 5ft 2 inches and 120lbs. I would like to lose 10lbs. I usually have about 4 cups of coffee at the office with non-dairy creamer and 1 packet of sugar. I enjoy Green Tea but I am effected by caffeine (sadly addicted - migraines without 
) What are your suggestions?
I also have a severe back injury (3 cracked vertabrea (sp?), 2 bulging discs that is preventing me from doing strenuous exercise. Not to mention I have a sprained ankle LOL....what can I say, I'm a mess LOL

Quite the opposite actually, as long as the things you put in it (sugars, creamers) don’t tack on that many calories. Caffeine elevates your heart rate, which in turn causes your body to burn extra calories. Black coffee and plain green tea are calorically negative because of this.
By the way, you want to lose bodyfat, not weight. Bodyweight consists of muscle, fat, water, bone, organs etc. Most of these things you want to keep.
