So how much is too much? How much caffeine are you drinking?
About 300 milligrams of caffeine a day is a “moderate” intake. One cup of instant coffee contains about 100 milligrams, tea has 30 to 60 milligrams per cup, and cola around 50 milligrams per can. So three mugs of tea per day plus one cup of coffee would give you almost your daily “allowance.”

Best advice, then, is to cut down as much as you can—don’t drink more than one or two cups a day—and instead look for healthy alternatives.

Bear in mind that chocolate also contains caffeine; in fact there’s about 10 milligrams of caffeine in 50 grams of milk chocolate—dark chocolate contains 28 milligrams per 50 grams. There’s more caffeine in a 4 ounce bar of dark chocolate than in a cup of instant coffee … so if you’re serious about getting rid of cellulite, go easy on the chocolate.
