Coffee, Good or Bad for weight loss?

There will be no difference either way. Enjoy your coffee.

black coffee....minimal calories, so no impact at all on weight loss.
now, a venti pumpkin spice latte is a whole nother story. (one which I enjoy at least a couple of times when they are in season....)

Coffee goooooood...:devil:
I try to fit a fancy coffee in once a week (lately, more. That salted caramel mocha is my downfall). But I don't think it helps or hinders weight loss

Coffee *may* help with weight loss (check this article http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/caffeine/HQ00369 and there are tons more like it) but it's not a weight loss tool. I tend to drink a lot of coffee in the morning, partly because it does help prevent me from snacking.

It will not make you gain weight UNLESS, like others posted, you start getting calorie packed lattes or add too much creamer/sugar. If you use creamer, try to use sugar free/fat free to reduce calories and sugar. One of my biggest downfalls is the creamer I use

I do fully intend to get myself one nonfat salted caramel latte this season - it's caloric equivalence is a small meal but it's a great treat!

If you ask them to put in half of each syrup, it cuts about 80 calories (plus, it tastes better imo)

Coffee is not bad at all its all the things we put in it, cream, sugar, ect. I love the pumpkin coffees and was having them every day until I saw that there is like 200 Calories in a Medium and 300 calories in a large. I will have it at least once a week as a treat but count it in my calories for the day. I'd rather use 300 calories on something more filling or just have coffee with cream and no sugar or splenda.

For me it wasn't the coffee that was the problem it was the milk that went in it. Especially when I was having 4 or 5 a day. Now I might have 1 every now and then and with no milk or sugar. I feel so much better

use stevia for sweetner
add in MCT oil or coconut oil

It would be great if I could stop putting cream and sugar in it...

Doesn't really help or hurt really.

It's a stimulant. So heart rate increaser (= small increase in metabolism), appetite suppressant, and diuretic.

All minimal but good for weight loss.

But like everyone's said, it really is only that great for weight loss if you drink it black or with skim milk and a bit of sugar/sweetener.

who cares if it's good or bad for weight loss, it's essential for survival! lol

lol ^^^this!!! I have just recently had to go on Synthroid to replace my thyroid and it is not supposed to be taken at the same time I drink my coffee. So, I will set my alarm to go off at 4 a.m. to take this pill and then when I wake up at 5, I will be ready for my coffee. I will not go without my coffee, lol.

It's okay in moderation. I try to drink 20 oz of water before my first cup. I drink 2 cups per day. I take a tbsp of creamo and 2 pkgs. of sweet n low in each cup to help stay within my meal plan and it works good for me.

Black coffee is just fine -- it's the cream and sugar that ruins it for everybody (like me!) I'm actually not a huge coffee fan - but I do like my "froo froo" coffee as my husband calls it - my favorite is the Kuaii Vanilla Macadamia Nut -- but I can't seem to drink it without adding some Bailey's non-alocoholic fat-free vanilla creamer and about 6 sugars. YIKES! So I gave it up.

Until my husband introduced me to my new favorite dessert that I enjoy a couple times a month -- affogato. YUMMY! It's basically some kind of frozen yogurt (I use the non-fat, no-sugar added Greek frozen kind) with a double-shot of espresso poured over it.

Uninformed handling of coffee can be bad. Quick answer, be sensible and it's not an issue. In my experience, I think pitfalls of coffee to avoid are: 1) ultra high calorie and sugary "coffee" drinks that are really coffee flavored desserts. 2) adding half and half adds calories and fat, and people often kid themselves that the quarter cup of half and half was really a tablespoon, and that the tablespoon of honey was really a teaspoon, in other words, be honest about what you add to your coffee and keep track, and c) lack of sleep is an enemy for weight loss, so just don't drink coffee in a way that makes you suffer from loss of sleep.

Enjoy the java, I do twice a day and I simply use 4 tablespoons of 2% milk and log the calories, no big deal as long as I log it and know I'm consuming the calories.

neither, its all in what you add to your coffee that has calories.
