Coffee helps to lose weight: caffeine and chlorogenic acid.
Nutritionist Cai said that coffee itself has low calories, and a cup of 300 ml sugar-free American coffee is less than 10 calories, but the main key to really helping to lose weight lies in caffeine and chlorogenic acid in its ingredients! Caffeine not only has diuretic and appetite suppression effects, but also is a stimulant of central nervous system, which can promote adrenaline secretion and increase lipid decomposition. Another study pointed out that drinking coffee before exercise can promote sports performance and increase calorie consumption.
As for chlorogenic acid, recent research shows that chlorogenic acid in coffee beans can inhibit the absorption of glucose, reduce the accumulation of fat cells and help prevent obesity. However, the content of chlorogenic acid in coffee beans will decrease with the deepening of roasting. Therefore, if you want to lose weight by coffee, it is better to drink lightly roasted coffee.
There is a popular trend of yellow lemon and black coffee in Europe and America. Lemon black coffee can taste worse than losing weight.
In recent years, there are many cafes in the streets. In order to attract consumers' attention, European and American countries not only pay attention to bean varieties, baking and brewing techniques, but also try to use coffee as a cocktail and mix different ingredients to make coffee burst into a new flavor. Among them, the much-discussed supporting role is yellow lemon. In addition to harmonizing the flavor of coffee, many people think that yellow lemon peel can also improve the weight loss effect of black coffee.
