No matter at home or abroad, losing weight is a hot topic all year round. In order to make people lose weight faster, many people turn their brains to coffee. They even think that lemon, turmeric, cinnamon and matcha are all ingredients that help to lose weight. Mixing them with black coffee can produce the slimming effect of "1+ 1 > 2". Just, are these practices really credible?
Can you lose weight simply by drinking coffee?
Before discussing whether flavored coffee can improve the slimming effect, we must first make it clear that "can drinking coffee really help you lose weight?" Ni, a nutritionist at Changhua Christian Hospital, explained that the ability of coffee to resist oxidation, diminish inflammation, produce heat and induce diuresis is considered to be related to losing weight and reducing some chronic diseases (such as diabetes), but can coffee alone achieve the purpose of losing weight? Actually, it is not.
If you want to lose weight successfully, it is difficult to achieve the effect only by black coffee. At most, just let the body eliminate more water. It is suggested that we should adjust our daily habits, diet control and exercise. When the calorie consumption exceeds the intake, we can really lose weight. In addition, if you are too superstitious about the weight-loss effect of black coffee, you may suffer from palpitation, rapid heartbeat, insomnia, anxiety, abdominal pain and other symptoms due to long-term excessive intake of coffee, and you are more likely to fall into an uncomfortable state.
Lemon is thought to improve metabolism and burn fat, but there is no empirical evidence to support weight loss after mixing with black coffee. Lemon+coffee, matcha+coffee, weight loss effect upgrade?
In this way, lemon coffee, turmeric coffee, cinnamon coffee and matcha coffee have no effect on weight loss? Nutritionist Ni Manting explained that lemon is thought to improve metabolism and burn fat. Turmeric is considered to promote metabolism and produce heat; Cinnamon can accelerate metabolism, help digestion and regulate blood sugar; Matcha promotes gastrointestinal peristalsis, inhibits fat absorption and accelerates fat burning, so it is extended to "help lose weight".
