What role does caffeine play is gaining or losing weight?
Some forms of caffeine may help induce weight loss. This is why some diet regimes recommend that people who wish to shed extra pounds consider drinking plain, black coffee or tea in the morning. Drinking a cup of coffee or tea can help reduce ones appetite, thus, resulting in eating less and not feeling hungry quite as often, causing one to lose some weight. The problem is generally not the coffee or tea; it is usually the additives that create the weight gain. Adding sugar and cream will prove counterproductive, especially for people who consume lots of coffee each day. Avoid these additive along with syrupy ‘designer’ coffees and your daily coffee can remain apart of your road to good health. Caution: Remember large amounts of caffeine can strip your body of iron, thus causing anemia. So, keep your caffeine in moderation.
