Secondly, caffeine helps speed up metabolism.

Thirdly, this same compound suppresses appetite. A person who drinks a cup of coffee gets rid of the feeling of hunger for a long time.

How to drink coffee correctly

As mentioned above, the drink contains few calories. But the situation changes dramatically if you use additives such as cream and sugar.

Of course, the habit of drinking coffee with buns or sandwiches also does not contribute to losing excess weight.

So, if you are drinking coffee for weight loss purposes, do not add anything to the drink.

There is another very important point: caffeine is only beneficial if you don’t overdo it.

Excess caffeine can lead to dizziness, tachycardia, insomnia, increased anxiety, etc.

So don't drink too much coffee. 1-2 cups a day is enough. No more.
