black coffee: For many of us, coffee is our favorite drink as it acts as a life saver when one has to stay awake and work through the night. There is something so soothing about the drink that it makes people addicted to it, and hence it becomes difficult to spend the day without a cup of coffee. Even though it sustains us and helps us go throughout the day, it has many other benefits, number one of which is weight loss. It may sound funny, but if taken without sugar, coffee can do wonders. In addition, black coffee works most efficiently and according to media reports, four cups of coffee a day can reduce body fat by up to 4 percent.
Here are 5 ways in which black coffee can contribute to your weight loss journey:
1) Calorie
A cup of black coffee made from ground beans contains two calories. Whereas, a rich black espresso contains only one, which cuts the calorie count by 50 percent. Also, if one uses decaffeinated beans then the calorie count becomes zero.
2) weight loss
Black coffee contains ‘chlorogenic acid’ which works wonders in the weight loss journey. The chlorogenic acid in black coffee acts as an antioxidant and reduces the formation of new fat cells which results in the intake of fewer calories in the body.
3) Controls sudden hunger
The caffeine present in coffee improves our energy levels and helps our brain as well as nervous system to remain active.
4) Increases Metabolism
Caffeine can boost metabolic rate and increase fat burning. However, after some time, people become tolerant to the effects and it stops working. But even if coffee doesn’t cost you more calories in the long run, there is a possibility that it may reduce your appetite and help you eat less.
5) bursa fat
Green coffee beans help increase the body’s ability to burn fat and cause the body to release more fat-burning enzymes. It further cleanses the liver and removes bad cholesterol which increases one’s metabolism. Apart from this, black coffee removes excess water from the body and helps in weight loss. However, this weight loss may be temporary.
