Tips for losing weight

To Armin: I very much agree with most you said. Very well written btw.
But I would like to comment on your cholesterol part. We agree that we die without cholesterol, our cell membranes does after all consist of it.
I also agree that the old 'stay away from eggs, it's bad' wasn't particularly true. I guess today we would call it a myth.
But I wonder about your numbers. You said normal people can only change about +/- 10% of our cholesterol level by diet change. This does not correspond to what I have seen in my own life,  what I have observed from patients and what dietician and doctors have informated me about. So I was hoping you could elaborate on the estimate. I don't ask to argue, but more out of curiosity.

Fragbait: Coffee does not dehydrate the body. But it does provide the body with less water than a corresponding pure water resource would. The numbers I have heard is that coffee gives you around 60% of the effect pure water would have given you (if the same amount is used).
I would say as others have said, coffee in small amounts is perfectly fine and does not harm the body. Research is still going on about coffee, but no decisive conclusion has been made yet.

Edit: removed some silly looking smileys

My own researches into coffee are that it is the one thing without which America could not function.

You want to bring America to its knees?

Coffee embargo!
