What do you call a sad cup of coffee? A depresso
Caffeine speeds up your metabolism –true
Caffeine is an appetite suppressant –true
Caffeine is not dehydrating -true
Caffeine speeds up your weight loss – FALSE
Why do you think it would speed up your weight loss?
Well you just said caffeine speeds up your metabolism
So it makes sense that you can burn more calories and therefore lose weight faster
Right?
Wrong!
When we say it speeds up your metabolism
We are talking by about 10-15 calories a day
In the grand scheme of a 1500 deficit for example
That’s a whisper in the thunderstorm
Weight loss is a numbers game, so being aware of the numbers within the scope of science is important
Very important!
So yes caffeine can be used as a tool
BUT it’s not an earth-shattering tool
If you catch my drift 🙂
Any questions please feel free to ask!
Yours In Health,
