Coffee is a global favorite among those on a weight loss journey.

Caffeine is a common ingredient in most weight loss and diet products. But why? How can caffeine support your weight loss efforts? Here are ten ways our coffee can help you shed those extra pounds:

DITCH THE MILK & SUGAR

Our coffee, rich in unique flavors, pairs perfectly with high-quality Arabica beans, eliminating the need for milk or sugar. By skipping these additions, you save around 60 calories per cup. That adds up to 180 calories a day if you enjoy three cups! Each cup of our coffee, when consumed black, contains only 4 calories and still satisfies your sweet tooth.

CAFFEINE BURNS CALORIES

Research published in Food & Function in 2012 found that caffeine boosts thermogenesis, the process of your body generating heat. The more heat your body produces, the more calories you burn, helping you reach your weight loss goals faster. That's a win-win!

Caffeine provides a significant energy boost, encouraging the body to burn fat stores rather than muscle glycogen. Drinking coffee 30 minutes before exercise enhances performance, enabling you to work out harder and longer. This means more calories burned during your workout, leading to quicker weight loss. Many people add our coffee to their pre-workout shakes or enjoy it black.

BOOSTS METABOLIC RATE

Caffeine can increase your metabolic rate by 3-11%. A higher metabolic rate means your body burns fat more efficiently, which is great news for weight loss.

In her book, The O2 Diet, weight-loss expert Keri Glassman highlights the benefits of antioxidant-rich foods for weight loss. Antioxidants protect the body from damage by free radicals. Interestingly, beverages provide 79% of the antioxidants in a Western diet, with coffee being a major source, contributing 64% of total antioxidant intake.

MOBILIZES FAT FROM TISSUE

Caffeine signals fat cells to break down fat, which is then used as energy during physical activity. Coffee also raises adrenaline levels, aiding in this fat breakdown process. This is why caffeine is a key ingredient in many weight loss supplements.

REDUCES WATER RETENTION

Caffeine’s diuretic effect increases urine output, reducing water retention. This helps alleviate bloating and sluggishness, common issues that can impede weight loss progress.

ENHANCES FAT BREAKDOWN

Chlorogenic acid in coffee stimulates efficient fat breakdown, accelerating weight loss. Caffeine also increases lipase, an enzyme that helps digest fats, making coffee a potent fat-burning aid.

SUPPRESSES APPETITE

Chlorogenic acids in coffee can suppress appetite, reducing your calorie intake. While raw (green) coffee beans have the highest chlorogenic acid content, roasted coffee still contains this beneficial compound. Our medium/light roast coffee retains more chlorogenic acid compared to darker roasts, helping curb your appetite.

SATISFIES SWEET CRAVINGS

Our naturally sweet coffee helps curb cravings for sugary snacks. Many customers find that a cup of our Swiss Chocolate coffee satisfies their sweet tooth without the added sugar or calories. With no sugar added, you can enjoy the rich, sweet flavor guilt-free, with just 4 calories per cup when drunk black.

Whatever your weight loss strategy, we know it can be challenging. Our coffee is here to support you in your journey and help curb those sweet cravings. Good luck, and stay committed!
