Coffee and Weight Loss - How Coffee Affects Weight Loss

Coffee is a very popular beverage both in the United States and
throughout the rest of the world. In fact, most people who drink
coffee drink numerous cups throughout the day. Many people believe
that coffee will help them lose weight. This article will seek to show
the truth about whether or not coffee serves any purpose as far as
weight loss is concerned.
Coffee contains caffeine, which is a powerful and addictive stimulant.
Caffeine is a drug that makes people nervous and fidgety. Caffeine
alters blood sugar levels. Caffeine causes people to be hungry and
crave food. Caffeine disrupts sleep. Excess caffeine causes headaches,
nausea, accelerated heartbeat, and anxiety.
Because coffee alters a person's mood very randomly, it is not a good
beverage to drink while trying to lose weight. Coffee has the ability
to cause a person to feel hungry without a moment's notice. When the
effects of coffee are tapering off, a person will generally feel
depressed and want to binge on junk food. The practice of binging on
junk food can be counterproductive to your goal of losing weight,
depending on how much junk food you eat when binging....

Even if all the above statements are true, the conclusion is not
supported. You would need to know which effects that are major and
those that are minor, for example. Suppose the increased nervousness
translates into more physical activity or staying on the go more which
then reduces the amount of time for eating. Suppose many folks have
little or no desire to eat junk food, or purhaps they just don't do
it. The only way to study this scientifically would be a long-term
study involving lots of people...some who drink coffee, some who
don't, and see that effect. Likely the effect would be minor if
statistically significant one way or the other since caffeine effects
different people different ways depending for starters on how much
they consume. Far as I know caffeine does no harm to the general
population. dkw
