How To Lose Fat – Does caffeine increase weight loss?
There are so many professionals and gurus that say it does and others that say it does not. There are no real clinical trials with this, but there are studies that indicate that caffeine can help in your weight loss efforts. This is how it can work and how you can use it.
First lets look at Caffeine. Caffeine is a stimulate found in plants and fruits around the world. The most common place for caffeine to be is in your coffee and teas. It moderation it is suppose to acts as a stimulate and diuretic. Wiki link to Definition
Now the top 3 things:
1. Water Loss. As mentioned above caffeine acts as a diruaetic. Draining the bottle of water. This can be good and this can be bad. If you carry exseive water weight then this can help you get rid of the water. If you are low in your water this can be harmful. The body needs water to maintain a healthy balance.
2. Acts as a stimulate. Caffeine will stimulate your system kind of like a kick start. It will raise your blood pressure and speed up your heart. In moderation this is OK. This is where you may see a little fat burning benefit.
3. Appetite suppression. Caffeine can suppression your appetite leading you to eat less and then maybe dropping a few pounds.
Again, the studies on caffeine are not vast. Some people use it and others do not and they both see the same results. I personally use if to wake up and get my self moving the the AM. The caution here is it is a stimulate and everyone reacts to them differently. If you are using caffeine increasing it will not make it more affective. You will just need more and in the long run put your body into a tail spin or restless sleep. Remember sleep is very important aspect of you weight loss goals.
Another point here is that a lot of drinks that have caffeine also have fats and sugars. If you are going to use caffeine as a diet supplement and you have not had caffeine before you should always check with your doctor first, and second, take it in small amounts at first. This is a stimulate and it can make you nevous and keep you up at night. The best time to use it is right before a work out to give you a little kick start.
Although I do not promote many supplements caffeine is one that if used properly can help. It is not a magic pill but if you have a hard time getting moving a black cup of coffee may help out.
