drinking coffee make you lose weight?
Coffee
is no fad drink which has reared its head as a weight loss aid
in recent times. It is a beverage which has been and is still
enjoyed by people all over the world as a popular and invigorating
swig and a cuppa is something that many cannot think of starting
their days without. Some drinkers enjoy the stimulating and re-energizing
effect that caffeine brings with every cup and some just love
to punch their socializing sprees with cups of hot, steaming and
frothy coffee. Espresso, Latte or Cappuccino, coffee wins hands
down amongst the most popular beverages in the world. But can
drinking coffee make you lose weight? Food experts and columnists
are of the opinion that yes, it can, but only if you drink it
the right way.
Any coffee drinker is accustomed to never ending debates about
whether caffeine is good or bad for health. Latest researches
however assert that a few cups of coffee a day is not only re-energizing
and stimulating for the system, but can also act as a weight loss
aid if you don't top it with loads of cream and sugar.
How can drinking coffee make you lose weight?
If you want to lose weight with coffee, de-caffeinated coffee
is not going to work for you. Concentrated espresso might be the
best choice. Why? This is because, espresso has got high levels
of caffeine in it - and this is exactly what you need to lose
weight. Caffeine from coffee is a super stimulant, which when
ingested, makes your body release catecholamine. The burst of
energy that is experienced post coffee drinking is actually brought
forth by using the stored body fat as fuel. Result? Incredible
weight loss!
Caffeine accelerates the speed of metabolism and helps one lose
weight even when the body rests.
Coffee is also a good appetite suppressant and keeps hunger at
bay.
Things you should know
· When you are trying to lose weight with coffee, you must
make sure that your coffee is not loaded with cream, sugar and
condiments. Drinking calorie laden Café Lattes can never
help you to shed pounds.
· Drinking a shot of coffee prior to hitting the gym can
help increase your muscle strength and endurance and help you
burn more fat through a high intensity workout.
· If coffee is not your cup of tea, you can try out caffeine
pills to enjoy the same weight loss effects.
