coffee makes you fat?

[Nerva]

does drinking a lot of coffee not help with a diet? i heard that from somewhere, but not sure how substantiated that is.

 

[vi edit]

Moderate amounts of it can supress appetites which can *help* lead to weight loss or weight maintenance.

 

[Glavinsolo]

No the cream and sugar sure does though.
Edit: Check a Starbucks nutriotiun fact sheet they have all around their stores.

Mainly the sugar in the coffee may have some impact on a person's weight, but doesn't help with your diet too well.

Coffee -Black, has 0 calories, carbs, fat, etc... and it is excellent for getting your caffine fix/supressing your apetitie during your dieting phase.l

However that $6.00 Double-mocha-choka-joka-crapa-frapa-cunnio from Starfucks will pack on pounds quicker than a double 1/4 pounder from McDonalds with a supersize order of fries.

Well think about this. 8:00a.m drink 2 cups of coffee, 5:00pm come home. While you are coming home you are "crashing" from the caffeine you had in the morning and are less likely to work out or do physical activities in the evening. So workout first then drink coffee or your favorite caffeine drink and you won't be so squishy.

I've heard that a cup of coffee or 2 before breakfast in the morning are good for your metabolism.

I hate coffee, but if i do drink it, I will dump like 10 of those littel halfNhalf cartons into it. Wouldn't make me fat though.

Dont wanna get fat? Stop sitting at the computer? Go run around...

 

[Syrch]

It depends., you have to watch the sugar intake and the creamer in it..I use fat free creamer and splenda. The other concern is that it speeds up your spleen? which drys you out making you thirsty and people usually go for soda/pop or other sugar intensive drink to quench that thirst. You need to drink 3 cups of water for every cup of coffee you drink to keep your body hydrated...

The increase in metabolism doesn't hurt either.

 

[iroast]

Coffee only makes you fat if you use half/half, light cream and lots of sugar.

 

[altonb1]

I only drink coffee with Splenda (preferred), Equal or Sweet N Low. But I'm kinda squishy already, anyway.

 

[rgwalt]

It can dehydrate you, which is bad for losing weight and working out.

Doesn't caffiene raise your resting heart rate?

Yo mama makes me fat!

 

[lozina]

coffee makes you at if you are a vegetable planted on your ass all day. but then again, eating or drinking pretty much anything aside from water will do the same for those people too.

 

[IceBergSLiM]

green tea is a much better alternative

 

[lokiju]

No sugar or creamer coffee wouldn't be bad for you.
