I'm hearing mixed things about coffee. On the one hand, caffeine has a lot of antioxidants and wakes you up so you can work out harder, but I'm also hearing that it is bad for weight loss. Does anyone know if it is good, bad or neutral for weight loss?

    I was pretty indifferent to coffee until I got a French Press.

    Coffee is life, coffee is love.

    Usually people say they love coffee when they actually love the cream, chocolate and/or sugar they put in it. So yeah, that kind of coffee won't be very helpful at weight loss.
    Coffee on its own, on the other hand, is a great energy booster and could help you lose weight if you use it wisely. And it's delicious :)

    I just stopped drinking coffee on Thanksgiving Day and have been having green tea instead -- I've noticed I'm more tired at the end of each afternoon but other than that I really haven't had any problems without drinking coffee and I figure it is too soon to see if there is any benefit to the green tea.

    Coffee is required. If i don't drink it.... let's just say that i need more fiber.

    But coffee which is taken black - does it prevent weight loss? We all know that it gives the much needed boost

    Black coffee has zero calories, so it has no effect on weight loss.

    Makes no difference with weight loss..

    Unless you drink 55 gallons a day.

    A plain cup of brewed coffee has only 2 calories — and no fat.

    No, it doesn't. Some even say that it helps with weight loss, since it speeds up one's metabolism.

    Coffee helps me when I'm constipated, so in a sense it helps me with weight lost from poop weight.
