    I don't know but would not suggest using coffee as a weight loss aid as it has caffeine which can increase your heart rate. Just my two cents.

    It helps me in the mornings! I need my coffee to stay sane. I put a little creamer in mine so it actually adds to my calories, but it's so tastey!

    Only if you're eating a deficit.

    Caffeine acts as a stimulant and a appetite suppressor but BUT if you load it up with crap you are not doing yourself any favors OR if you are a binge eater than its probably not a good idea bc you will most likely binge hard after.

    So I guess yes and no. It can help in appetite suppression if you are stable and binging but it only really helps you keep a calorie deficiet at the end of the day.

    Coffee does not really help or hinder weight loss. HOWEVER, everyone is different. Now if you are referring to the Dr. Oz touted Green Coffee Bean supplement-no its a waste of money.

    Caffeine can also dehydrate you, so you have to be sure to drink plenty or water to rehydrate throughout the day too.

    Ummm Hello Elliott, dayum. :love:

    Anyway... :noway:

    Coffee won't help you lose weight but it may help you go #2 and sometimes that can serve as a useful illusion of losing weight.

    There is nothing like motivation (gym time) and dedication (like being accountable for your calories) to help you lose weight. Other than that - everything else is a gimmick. I did the silly green coffee thing for a bit - it was a mental exercise rather than an efficient weight loss strategy - I wanted something to 'help' me do it - but in the end I realized that it was me, the gym and pushing myself away from extra portions that was going to work.

    There are mixed answers when it comes to coffee as a weight loss aid. If you choose to continue drinking coffee, I would suggest that you could drink organic coffee which is better health wise unless you load it with a lot of stuff.
