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.... http://groups.google.com/group/weightlosslnfs |

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 |
