Tips to Lose Weight Fast With a Coffee Diet

Coffee helps a lot of people get going in the morning, and while it gives your metabolism a bit of a boost — although temporarily — simply drinking it cannot help you lose weight fast. But that doesn’t mean coffee can’t make a healthy addition to your weight-loss diet. Be sure to talk to your doctor first, though, to discuss the benefits and risks of making coffee part of your weight-loss plan.
Coffee and Weight Loss
Why do so many Americans drink coffee every day? The caffeine. And it’s the caffeine in your cup of Joe that’s linked to weight loss. Caffeine increases the activity of your central nervous system, heart and muscles. And getting 100 milligrams of caffeine a day, which is the amount found in 1 cup of coffee, may help you burn an extra 9 calories an hour, according to the Office of Dietary Supplements. Caffeine may also suppress your appetite.
However, 9 calories isn’t a lot of calories and may not help you lose much if anything at all. Plus, over time, your body develops a tolerance to caffeine, nullifying any of the weight-reducing benefits, which means coffee alone cannot help you drop weight fast.
