I have to be honest: I'll go to bed early just because I'm so excited to wake up and have my morning coffee (with some sugar free Torani syrup in it, of course)!! But recently I've been reading some articles that say that drinking coffee can hinder weight loss? Do you guys think this is true? What have you heard on the matter?

    Nope. But the SF syrup is full of junk, and I wouldn't recommend it. I've been a coffee addict my whole life and it's never hindered my weight loss. Whoever says it will simply isn't working hard enough to lose weight.

    I love coffee. Black coffee only has about 2 calories per cup. So I really don't see how it could hinder weight loss. Unless you are adding a bunch of sugar and milk/cream.

    Everything in moderation!

    I love black coffee, always start my day with a cup, then have at least 1 more throughout the day ( used to be loads more). Though I have have noticed since starting my journey, it makes me thirsty about 15-20 mins after I drink it????? so I have to drink more water, which is fine. Its just a little strange....

    Hasn't hindered me. I only drinking it black other than a non-fat cappuccino on a rare occasion. I can relate to looking forward to that morning cup or shot. I used to stock decaf just so I could continue drinking it into the night.

    I look forward to my one cup every morning and I use REAL cream and artificial sweetner. BUT I gave up soda completely which is saying a lot since I would drink a twelve pack every two days! Its my one "cheat" but it isn't really if it fits into my daily calories and everything else is low fat non white carbs veggied up! And I am getting 30 to 45 mins of exercise EVERY DAY! I love my coffee and NO YOU CAN'T HAVE IT! LOL

    and I love the SF torani! What flavor do you have? :]

    And where can I get more flavors than just the typical hazelnut and vanilla?...

    I don't have my textbook with me, but I do recall reading that a small amount of caffeine helps your body burn fat faster.

    recently I've been reading some articles that say that drinking coffee can hinder weight loss? Do you guys think this is true?

    Do you have links? Or maybe can you tell us the reasoning behind it?

    Personally I don't believe it. Coffee is basically caffeine flavored water. Unless the caffeine somehow hinders weight loss, I don't see it.

    I've never heard that at all but I gave up coffee when I gave up other stuff because I can't drink it without cream and sugar. :smile:
