pick-me-up

"The coffee you turned to as a pick-me-up this morning might have just put your metabolism back to sleep. While caffeine is known to have metabolism effects, when it's combined with huge helpings of sugar, dairy, and artificial flavors and colors, it can still grind your metabolism to a screeching halt.  Sugar is known to promote the growth of harmful gut bacteria, slowing your metabolism in the process." —DAVID ZINCZENKO and KEENAN MAYO, "The Super Metabolism Diet"
