Coffee

Weight Loss Drinks I’ve never been the type of person who needs coffee every morning. But I know others who can’t function without it.

Maybe they’re onto something because when it comes to weight loss, coffee is actually worth considering.

As registered dietitian Kathy Taylor mentions:

“Some studies have shown that drinking coffee with caffeine may slightly increase weight loss or in actuality prevent weight gain by suppressing the appetite or the desire to eatâ€.

Taylor continues that coffee:

“May also help with calorie burning by stimulating thermogenesis – our body’s way of generating heat from metabolizing food. Ultimately caffeine acts like a diuretic causing us to have water loss so there is a temporary decrease in body weightâ€.

Now, this is not a free pass to live on coffee alone since starving yourself of important nutrients can actually slow your metabolism down. But it is a green light for one cup a day if water weight is weighing you down.

Keep in mind: for every cup of coffee you drink, you’ll need to add one cup of water to combat possible dehydration.
