How to Lose Weight Drinking Coffee

Drinking coffee can actually help you to lose weight. Caffeine is a stimulant, which causes your body to release catecholamines. Fat cells are then targeted by the catecholamines. The body fat that is stored in the fact cells is then used for fuel. Hence, by drinking coffee you experience weight loss. Add this to my Recipe Box.

Instructions

1

Do not add sugar or creamer to your coffee. Creamer contains sugar, and sugar contains insulin, which is a fat-storing hormone. The sugar will counteract the fat-burning potential of the caffeine. Avoid all carbohydrates when you are consuming your coffee because carbohydrates cause your insulin levels to rise. Catecholamines only burn more fat when there is no insulin present in your system.

2

Do drink your coffee an hour before your workout. The caffeine helps you focus and blunts muscle pain. These two effects of caffeine allow you to workout at a higher intensity with increased muscle strength and endurance.

3

Your pre-workout coffee should contain 200 to 400 mg of caffeine. You can also drink espresso for a more concentrated caffeine beverage.

If you would rather not drink coffee, but still want the weight loss benefits, try a caffeine supplement in pill form.
