is it ok to have a cup of coffee every day if i want to lose weight?i mean,from calories point of view..?

Answer 1

Yes, coffee has no calories in it (unless you add cream or sugar).

Answer 2

Coffee only has 5 calories. If you add cream and sugar then it is higher. If you are drinking only one cup you should be ok, in fact some body builders will drink a small shot of caffine right before they work out to help increase their energy. Just make sure to drink an extra cup of water to make up for the dehydrating effects of the coffee. If you want something sweet in your coffee try sugar free Toroni syrup. You can find it in most grocery stores or a warehouse type store like Smart & Final.

Answer 3

If you are drinking it black, you can have as much coffee as you like. If you are adding cream and sugar, or drinking lattes, then one or two a day is the most you can have.

I don't agree with other posters that coffee is bad for you. Last week I even read a Natural Health magazine that recommended having one or two cups a day. Just don't have any after about lunchtime, or it will affect your sleep patterns.

Coffee is good for improving asthma, dissolving gall stones, controlling cholesterol and a multitude of other things - in moderation, of course.

Answer 4

Coffee is very acidic and therefore, is not healthy to ingest on a daily basis. The pH (measurement of acidity) of coffee is 4.0 and will make your body more acidic as time goes on.

If you want to lose weight, here's what you need to do. You'll achieve your goal of losing weight thru a well balanced diet (80% alkaline foods and 20% acidic foods daily), regular exercise (three/four times weekly 30 minutes each), and drinking 8 glasses of water daily. However, I'll go one step further to show you the best and quickest way to lose weight so that your entire system will achieve a balanced pH and not be depleted of the essential minerals that it needs. Here's why.
As the typical American diet is mainly acidic, except for most fruits and vegetables, it is close to impossible for our body to attain the alkaline levels that spells good health without the proper nutrients. This being the case, it is very difficult to lose weight unless you monitor closely your body's pH. Let me explain.
An acid pH has considerable influence over the majority of weight problems, including Diabetes and Obesity. It seems that a habitually acid pH can directly cause immediate weight gain. Here's what happens when a system is too acid. A condition known as Insulin Sensitivity or Syndrome X results, which forces too much insulin to be produced, and the body is flooded with insulin so that it won't waste any calories, it diligently converts every calorie it can into fat.
It is thought that an acid pH immediately signals the powerful genetic response to an impending famine, directly interacting with the all important and very sensitive, Insulin- Glucagons Axis. This makes the body produce more insulin than usual, and in turn, produce more fat and store it. In general, the more insulin is available to the body, the higher the probability that fat will be produced and stored, rather than used and burned as energy.
Thus, an acid pH will probably alert the genetic response to famine, directing more insulin to be produced and storing more fat than usual. Conversely, a healthy, slightly alkaline pH, will be more likely to yield normal fat burning metabolic activity, making no demands on the body to overly produce insulin and make fat, allowing fat-weight to be burned and naturally lost. And, with a healthy pH, there's less likely to be any yo-yo effect, or rebounding from a diet with additional weight gain. As long as nutritional stores are maintained, a healthy, slightly alkaline pH allows fat to burn normally for energy, rather than being hoarded under the mistaken biochemical belief of an impending famine.
The best way, though, to drink 8 glass of water daily is to mix it with Xtreme X2O, a natural and organic, coral calcium with 70 trace minerals, which transforms the pH of the water beverage to 9.9 (highly alkaline)!
You may ask why not just drink plain water? The answer is: When you drink lots of water, all of 8 glasses daily, it does not have the essential minerals (calcium, magnesium with 70 trace minerals) that your body needs for effective metabolism as the pH of plain water is rather low and very acidic.
If you would like to know what your pH level is, let me know. For more info, check this site:

Answer 5

Coffee helped me alot during those times I needed to be awake. It even digests alot. though be sure not to be dehydrated. I would advise you to drink 4 glasses of water with 1 cup of coffee which will infact help you reduce weight. Alot of fat will come out of your body. You should even walk and stay active quiet often and have proper sleep for atleast 6 hours and a maximum of 8 hours per day.

Sleep, excercise and water should be good alongside coffee.

Answer 6

Coffees okay in the morning stimulates the digestive, but the dietetic is Tea, green is great and a know fact antitoxins and less change of heart problems

Drinking lots of coffee causes bladder infections, addition to it, big time ups and downs....

Answer 7

I think if you exercise often, that a cup of coffee is in your favor. Unless of course, you like a little coffee with your sugar lol. Then just use artificial sweeteners, like splenda. Girl, if your anything like me, I would drop another bad habit befor i'd give up my morning cup.

Answer 8

Coffee has no calories. If you drink it moderately with skim milk and artificial sweetener, it should have no ill effects on your weight loss. In fact, there is some loose evidence that caffeine raises your metabolism.

Answer 9

Interesting, this public perception of caffeine. It was given, intravenously to my severely premature daughter when she weighed less than one and a half pounds.

She is now eight and bright and active and healthy. Does not look to me like it is too dangerous. Cite any ONE scientific article that shows any permanent ill effects of caffeine, and I will capitulate. I can say that because I know none exists.

Enjoy your cuppa!

Answer 10

NO! I think coffee is not healthy at all. You need to switch to tea. If you 'need' caffenine then just drink some green tea. It has less than coffee.
