Raise your hand if you want to quit drinking coffee.

Why, though????

Who would want to do such an awful thing?

Coffee makes the world go round (at least for coffee lovers, anyway).

I get it. Coffee is awesome! Whether you drink it black or you get it from Starbucks, coffee fills plenty of needs and can help you accomplish a lot of things. And I mean a LOT!

A Brief History Of My Coffee Habit

I was living in Singapore from 2009 to 2013. I was working in a hotel and used to work night shifts. When I worked at night, I usually had a packet or two of Old Town 3-in-1 white coffee with me to keep me awake. It tasted so good (more sweet than bitter) that I soon found myself drinking it for breakfast or on rainy days, as well.

Fast forward to 2013 when I moved to Norway.

It’s common to drink black coffee in Norway. And when I learned that drinking black coffee helps you lose weight, I was sold right away!

It’s like drinking water, but with added benefits such as:

  • Improved energy levels
  • Possible fat-burning effects
  • Improved physical performance
