HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT WITH COFFEE (PART 1)

DRINKING COFFEE SENSIBLY

1 Drink coffee in healthy amounts.

A little bit of coffee goes a long way. It can temporarily suppress your appetite and may stimulate minimal calorie burning. But excessive coffee consumption can lead to increased stress levels and insomnia, both of which can lead to overeating. Just 1 or 2 cups of fully-caffeinated coffee per day may be enough to help you lose weight. In total, you should have no more than 400 milligrams of caffeine per day. This is the equivalent of four cups of brewed coffee, 10 cans of cola, or two “energy shot” drinks.

Keep in mid that plain coffee is your best bet in terms of losing weight. One cup of black coffee has only 2 calories and no fat. Beverages like soda and energy drinks may be high in calories or have hidden sugar that can hinder your weight loss.

2 Space out your coffee times.

If you want to reap the most weight-loss benefits from drinking coffee, consider spacing out your intake throughout the day. Not only can this give you an added boost at work or during exercise, but may also suppress food cravings.

Stick to the daily limits as much as possible. For exmple, if you can safely drink 4 cups of coffee per day, you could have a cup in the morning, one at lunch, one at mid-afternoon and a cup at dinner. Adjust the schedule to see what works best for you.

3 Try half-caff.

If you want to drink more coffee throughtout your day, try switching to a mixture or full and decaffeinated beans, often called half-caff. This will allow you to safely drink coffee up to eight times a day and may help you more effectively lose weight.

Make sure to read product labels to ensure you’re getting half-caffeinated coffee. The lable may also indicate how much caffeine is in a cup. So long as you’re staying within the safe consumption limits every day, you can have as many cups of half-caff as you like.

Make your own half-caff by mixing one half cup of regular coffee with one half cup of decaf coffee. Another trick is to drink a half a cup of regular coffee with a half a cup of hot water.

If you use a Keurig, just leave the K-cup in the Keurig, and brew it again using the same K-cup.
