I should probably rephrase it a bit: Is caffeine good when you're dieting? (not just in general) I've heard conflicting views about it.

I don't know about the caffeine itself, but what you add to caffinated drinks sure isn't good when you're dieting...
I think in moderation, everything is okay. If you drink 15 cups a day, you may have a problem, although it may have a similar effect to taking speed...
Just don't drink too much, I heard about a new study that excess amounts of caffeine can kill you (like if you drank 5 pots one after the other you would basically poison yourself).

Absolutely when used in conjunction with an exercise program or even by itself.Caffeine increases the likely hood that you can burn fat as fuel during exercise by helping release it into the blood stream.These affects are magnified even more when taken with a little aspirin.Caffeine can also aid in appetite suppression.Stay well hydrated because caffeine is a diuretic and you'll lose more fluid.

It can be. Caffeine is a stimulant, and as such can act as a natural appetite suppressant and a metabolic enhancer. Of course, make sure you get your caffeine from low calorie sources such as diet sodas or coffee with no added sugar.

no, caffeine is not good for your diet. caffeine is a mild stimulant so it has da potential to increase alertness, wakefulness and feelings of energy. however, excess use can have negative effects. too much caffeine intake can be over-stimulating and cause anxiety, sleep problems and muscle twitching.

Recent studies shows that caffeine helps neutralize the arteries from being stiff. But of course, too much of it can do harm.
