Caffiene as an appetite suppressant? Healthy or no?

Question:

I've been taking 1 or 2 Spike energy tabs in the morning for a couple of days now, and I've noticed I don't get hungry and am a lot more active throughout the day. I know that not eating slows down your metabolism, but I've been consistantly losing weight anyways.
Is this healthy, I mean just as a short term plan?
[btw I'm 14, 5'2, and about 115 or 120..]

Answers:
Your weight does not appear to be a problem, especially for your age. I would not concern myself with weight loss if I were you. What I would do is eat healthier and throw out these drugs in a can that you are drinking. They may give you energy but they give you nothing valuable to you in the long term.

If you eat a good, solid and healthy breakfast every morning, that can help you have energy not just for a few hours but for the whole day, it will wake up your metabolism, which will in turn burn more calories for you. Additionally, the nutrients from real food will give you benefits such as better skin, better ph balance, better chances of growing taller.

Combine a good healthy diet with a lot of sleep and an active lifestyle and those will give you benefits that far exceed those junky energy drinks. :-)

Yes they use caffeine as an appetite suppressant and it is not healthy at all, it speeds up your heart beat and anything that messes with your heart is not healthy at all. Also starving yourself isn't healthy either.. so caffeine is nothing but bad for you.

not healthy
