Caffeine has long been known to assist with weight loss, often used in various compounds, creams, and other products. Caffeine speeds up a process in the body called ‘thermogenesis’, which is how the body naturally burns fat. Interestingly enough,
black coffee benefits the body more than milky coffee, which might be due to the fat content in the milk or added sugar, which is a known contributor to weight gain. However, coffee shouldn't be used alone in an attempt to lose weight - it's best to combine your daily coffee with regular exercise, a healthy, nutritional diet, and plenty of water. In fact, coffee can actually cause your body to retain water, which is one of the contributing factors to weight gain. A moderate amount of coffee every day will help you get the best out of your favourite drink.
