    That's great but not sure the laxitive effects of coffee are a secret, and it won't help you lose fat, just weight from the bowel movements you weren't having before.
    I've always had bowel movement issues so this defiantly has helped me .. i'm also on my period and normally i go up 2-4 pounds during the monthly process but lose it later.. i'm not going up on the scale this time, it's nice for a change,

    Caffeine Induced Dump (CID) as my family have called it lol. Does indeed help keep regular. The caffeine probably excites the intestines first, allowing them to get to working.

    Any stimulant should offer weight loss aid. Caffeine being one of them. So long as the extra activity your body does is more than the calories taken in with the caffeine (soda wont work, sorry) you're golden.

    Just please stick to relatively harmless and legal stimulants.

    I've heard that green tea is also beneficial for weight loss, but I really can't see how? Yes it's got caffeine and some phytochemicals, but I'm not sure I buy the hype. What do other people here think of it as a weight loss aid?

    For anyone not dulled to caffeine, more caffeine will help in the long run. People hyped up will typically move more, be fidgety, etc. This increases NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogensis). If green tea makes me slightly more hyper and I shake my leg while at my desk... that is extra calories burned. A soda will do this too... but the soda has WAY more calories than I'd ever burn shaking my leg lmao.

    In other news, this just in: Earth is the 3rd planet from the sun

    Hmmm

    There actually may be an unknown planet closer to the sun than Mercury. So this isn't 100% certain. It's probably true but there is room for discussion on the topic.

    It might be the creamer if it is the liquid one. As much as I love it, I stay away from it because of the "effects". Sorry TMI. LOL.
