Sorry for my delay, haven't logged in for awhile.
Nothing is wrong with coffee, in the correct amounts and proper times. If one is trying to lean out, balancing out cortisol levels is huge. Caffeine is a big contributor to adrenal fatigue, cortisol spikes, and so on. So, a small cup of coffee or some espresso right before a workout is good to go in my opinion. But constant overdosing through out the day can be problematic.
I guess the simple answer would be is that we weren't designed to "over do it". We are surely capable of doing long intense marathons, or lift weights until our hands bleed, but our bodies are better equipped at being intense at short bursts of high level activity, or long and very slow endurance (walking).
Granted, this is extremely individual dependent
Some are blessed with great genes..
