Coffee, when consumed in the right amounts, can be a powerful tool in your weight loss toolkit. Nutrition experts The Nutrition Twins® suggest 200 to 400 mg of caffeine daily, which translates to about two to five cups of coffee, to help reduce body fat. Caffeine's thermogenic effects can increase metabolism and decrease BMI, while also curbing appetite. Additionally, chlorogenic acid found in coffee aids in fat burning and slows carbohydrate absorption. However, it's crucial to consume coffee in its black form, as adding sugar, cream, or whole milk can negate its calorie-burning benefits. Research underscores that added sugar in coffee can eliminate its weight loss advantages, emphasizing the importance of enjoying coffee without caloric additives.
