[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Almost 10 days ago I stopped drinking coffee. I feel like it has contributed a lot to the weight loss I have experienced (I just lost almost 4 pounds in that time period). It is primarily belly bloat that is gone and I am guessing water weight. But has anyone had a similar experience ?

It doesn’t make sense to me as it was black coffee (no milk no sugar) and I replaced it with tea with as splash of milk and I am actually hungrier in the morning as black coffee had a bit of an appetite suppressant effect for me. So if anything I replaced the coffee with more calories in the morning.

[b]Could it be just the cortisol effect? Anyone else noticed a positive change after they stopped coffee?[/b][/quote]

Yes and yes.

Coffee is a traditional digestif and will cause weight gain and fat redistribution to the midsection, regardless of how you drink it, due to the stimulant nature of the caffeine. [/quote]

Just wanted to add to this, stimulants can help you lose fat also, IF used properly.

The science behind it is caffeine will help "loosen" fats and send them into the bloodstream, so if you are in Ketosis, you will use those released fats as fuel during exercise.

If you drink coffee and don't immediately exercise afterwards, those fats that were in the bloodstream will be redeposited, usually around the midsection. [/quote]

Thanks that’s interesting, had never heard of this[/quote]
