Coffee and Weight LossThis is an interesting question: Does drinking coffee help take off weight? I think the author of the article at healthkicker.com got it right. There is no evidence that drinking coffee will lead to significant or permanent weight loss. The findings implied that the caffeine present in coffee may help people to decrease body weight. But no studies show any indication that weight loss from large amounts of caffeine is permanent or significant. Then they mentioned the effects of caffeine on oxygen consumption during exercise. A study conducted by the Canadian government found that soldiers who consumed caffeine in the 12 hours prior to a physical-fitness test not only were able to work out longer before becoming exhausted, but also consumed more oxygen while working out. Caffeine does slightly increase oxygen consumption. But really, the effects are minimal. What is more important is that you do the workout. And you're probably better off without relying on a drug to boost your exercise results -- even a drug as mild as caffeine. via http://www.healthkicker.com/717556959/does-drinking-coffee-aids-weight-loss/
