Coffe & diet question

There used to be a gum(?) that numbed your tongue. You are right - if
food tastes bland you wont eat as much. Unfortunately, you'd have to
continue with the gum (or adding a bad tasting ingrediant) the rest of
your life or the weight would come right back. You can try what I do -
eat the same foods every day. Lack of variety = less eating. Also,
adding fiber to your diet will cause a 10 to 20% decrease in appetite.
Just remember: temporary solution = temporary weight loss.

Hi, i'm like alot of people I can't stop eating. In fact I love food,
but I have an idea. If we could kill our taste buds and impair our
sense of smell for a short time (a month or so) we would no longer
have the desire to eat fatty foods because it would all taste the
same. I could eat things I would normally turn my head at. I would not
look forward to eating because it all tastes the same. It would cut
down on the enjoyment of food and would cause you to only eat when
your hungry and not overeat. Does anybody now of something safe I can
take to kill my taste buds or impare my sense of smell? Please e-mail
me. Thanks

Weight loss occurs when you burn up more calories than you consume. I
drink a cup of coffee (or have a caffeine pill) before I go to the gym
because it helps me work out harder. Coffee may help you lose weight
if you use it to help you exercise more. You may also get a
short-term weight loss from losing fluid - coffee is a diuretic.
Skipping breakfast is usually a very bad idea.

Let me rephrase the question:-)

Does coffee stop or retard the fat burning process
in any way?

That is, if you drink coffee & skip breakfast - will the fat burning process
be "as efficient" as if you had eaten a proper breakfast & drank zero
coffee?

If you get up in the morning, drink 2 cups of black coffee,
then run until you sweat, drink 4 more cups of black coffee,then sit at
the
PC until 12 noon - what happens?
That is, do you start burning fat at any time between
8am & 12 noon under these conditions?

Thanks,
Gene

In addition to what Brad stated, you really have to decide if weight
loss is your only objective. Do you want to lose weight or be
healthier? Its true that you can skip breakfast taking in fewer
calories, but this won't lead to a healthier body. You body needs
nutrients to survive and if you skip meals, then your body goes into
survival mode and burns even less calories each day. You best choice
is to eat a healthy breakfast (include coffee if you want) exercise
and eat 5 - 6 smaller meals throughout the day.

Wishing you great success,
