There have been a handful of studies through the years to ascertain if there is any connection between caffeine and fat reduction there is, however, close to zero real evidence to confirm if caffeine can really help you shed those extra pounds.

While much of the studies which were done were of poor quality, some were even done on animals and that means you couldnt really use the information from these to express if it was going to be the same for humans.

On the other hand, there were some studies that have shown that decaffeinated coffee could aid in helping you loose weight that has some thinking that there could be something else along with caffeine that's in coffee that can contribute to loosing weight. Decaffeinated Green tea leaf has for ages been thought to assist in loosing weight.

Although there isnt a direct connection that can be made between caffeine and losing weight, some researchers feel that the caffeine can provide weight loss indirectly by suppressing your appetite causing you to definitely eat less.

Caffeine could also help stimulate thermo- genesis that is a process where your body generates heat by digesting food causing modest fat burning.

Caffeine can even act as a diuretic which is a type of drug that increases the rate of which you urinate which sequentially will cause you to loose water weight for short periods of time.

Another thing that was found is that caffeine does increase a persons metabolism by about 10% . A persons metabolic rate will remain at its highest point for about the first 3 hours after first taking in the caffeine.

A normal person can drink about 5 6 cups of coffee(about 10 grams of caffeine) per day before they begin to experience unwanted side effects. The various side effects include loss of sleep, stomach problems and nervousness.

If an individual drinks an excess of coffee on and empty stomach they can also experience ulcers and acid reflux.

A very powerful thing here is that its the raising of ones metabolic rate that helps our bodies to burn off fat for generating energy.

Remember the Atkins Diet?

The Atkins Diet took caffeine and weight loss a step further and used the intake of high protean/low carb foods to set your metabolic rate at the perfect level that your body would consistently burn the bodys fat for energy causing a consistent decrease of weight while one remained on the diet.

I was able to drop over 30 pounds using the Atkins Diet but it wasnt easy not having the ability to eat my personal favorite foods, most of which were high in carbs.

While there are many people that say that a high protean/low carb diet is bad to your health, it truly is a diet that works good or bad.About the Author:
