Drinking a cup of black coffee every day can easily help you lose weight without dieting or exercising. Does this weight loss method sound tempting? After entering summer, weight loss plastic has become a popular demand among the public, and black coffee weight loss methods are widely sought after on social media. Many internet famous coffees have become a new favorite for sales, with considerable sales. Is drinking black coffee really effective for weight loss?
Black coffee weight loss method has high online popularity, is it really effective?
Since the beginning of summer, the popularity of black coffee weight loss methods on social media platforms has remained high, with some internet celebrities experiencing a surge in coffee sales.
The reporter noticed that most of these hot selling coffees advertise as fat burning and easy to lose weight. Some claim to have a "good figure to drink, weight reduction formula to sit and lose weight", some advertise "fat -88%", and some show comparison pictures before and after drinking to attract consumers to place orders. Is black coffee really effective for slimming down? Let's hear what medical experts have to say.
Fang Yi, Director of the Endocrinology Department at the Fifth Medical Center of the People's Liberation Army General Hospital: From a medical perspective, black coffee contains caffeine, which can actually promote the secretion of adrenaline, temporarily increase metabolic rate, and have the function of consuming fat. But in real life, its weight loss effect is indeed minimal.
Medical experts say that caffeine in black coffee does have a certain auxiliary effect on fat metabolism, but this does not mean that drinking black coffee can lead to weight loss. The core of weight loss lies in maintaining negative energy balance. Without adjusting lifestyle habits, it is often difficult to achieve weight loss goals solely by drinking black coffee.
Fang Yi: The core of weight loss should be negative energy balance, so it is unrealistic and unlikely to achieve substantial weight loss solely through black coffee without dietary control and regular exercise.
Coffee weight loss is not suitable for everyone, and there are clear contraindications for people
In addition, medical experts remind that although caffeine has a certain auxiliary effect on fat metabolism, coffee weight loss is not suitable for everyone.
In daily life, medical experts remind people who want to enhance fat metabolism by drinking black coffee that the best time to drink black coffee is in the morning. The daily intake of caffeine should not exceed 400 milligrams, which is equivalent to a 400 milliliter cup of black coffee. It is best to control within two cups per day.
Medical experts say that caffeine in black coffee has a stimulating effect on the human nervous system, heart rate, and gastrointestinal tract, and has clear contraindications for use. Blindly drinking it can increase the burden on the body.
Fang Yi: Some people are not recommended, such as those with digestive system symptoms, including chronic gastric ulcers, esophageal reflux, and patients who are usually anxious or have poor sleep. We also do not recommend high blood pressure, abnormal blood lipids, heart disease, myocardial ischemia, and arrhythmia. Drinking black coffee can cause an increase in heart rate, which is also uncomfortable for patients.
In addition to patients with underlying diseases, pregnant women and other special populations also need to be vigilant about the harm caused by caffeine.
Fang Yi: Pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers, as well as some people who take anticoagulant drugs and antibiotics, are not recommended because coffee may affect the health of the fetus or newborn through the placenta and milk, and can also interact with some drugs.
In addition, medical experts remind that overweight and obese individuals have limited effectiveness in using conventional weight loss methods and need to go to professional medical institutions for scientific weight loss interventions.
How effective is functional coffee in reducing body fat on the internet?
With the popularity of the "black coffee weight loss method" on the internet, various functional slimming coffees have also become popular. Merchants claim to have added different effective ingredients and achieved weight loss through different principles. What is their fat loss effect?
The reporter noticed that in recent years, a bulletproof coffee has been highly sought after by many consumers online. Adding salt free butter, coconut oil and other oil ingredients rich in MCT (medium chain triglycerides) to black coffee can provide energy for people who temporarily adopt a ketogenic diet to lose weight.
Fang Yi: Bulletproof coffee is designed for people who may have short-term dietary control. For example, I have a short-term ketogenic diet or a low carbohydrate, low calorie diet. By using Bulletproof coffee to supplement your body's energy needs and achieve a mild negative balance of energy, it may have a slight weight control effect. If you adjust without dietary control, its calorie content will obviously exceed the standard, and the more you drink, the fatter you may become.
Medical experts remind that bulletproof coffee has high calories and is only suitable for specific dietary patterns. It is not recommended for the general weight loss population. Long term blind consumption not only fails to control weight, but may also affect blood lipid health.
Fang Yi: Actually, bulletproof coffee has extremely high calories. A cup of bulletproof coffee may contain 200-400 calories. Moreover, if you drink these fatty coffee for a long time, it may have adverse effects on blood lipid metabolism and potential cardiovascular health hazards.
In addition to bulletproof coffee, L-carnitine coffee is also a popular weight loss drink nowadays. Medical experts remind that theoretically speaking, L-carnitine can indeed play a certain auxiliary role in fat metabolism, but there are strict prerequisites for relying on it to lose weight.
Fang Yi: L-carnitine actually promotes the transfer of fat to the mitochondria of cells, so it functions as a carrier. However, without moderate to high levels of exercise, L-carnitine actually loses its role as a transporter.
