The phenomenon of urban wealth and disease and the aesthetic concept of "being thin for beauty" make "losing weight" an enduring topic in the field of health. All kinds of ways to lose weight also emerge one after another, but there are many exaggerations. The barcode gentleman has heard many times that "drinking coffee can lose weight", and he always feels skeptical.

Take a closer look and say that coffee can lose weight for roughly the same reason--

The first is caffeine. It is believed that the caffeine in coffee can increase the concentration of fatty acids in the blood. At this point, fatty acids are absorbed by the muscles and consumed in a way that converts the body's energy-in other words, caffeine promotes the decomposition of fat that the body has accumulated for a long time.

Caffeine is also a diuretic, which helps to expel excess water from the body and reduce edema to a certain extent.

Secondly, coffee has the effect of catharsis. Although it is milder than coarse fiber foods, it is effective for at least 1 stroke 3 of people, especially in women, according to scientists. Its cathartic effect is most obvious in the early morning, which can assist in defecation and weight loss.

However, it is generally believed that there are many kinds of coffee and different ways to drink it. In order to achieve the effect of losing weight, the conditions are still very harsh.

First of all, don't add sugar! Because sugar interferes with the decomposition of fat. If you can't get used to black coffee, you might as well add some milk.

Second, lightly roasted coffee is the most suitable. Coffee with high roasting temperature has a rich taste, but contains less caffeine.

Finally, drink hot coffee and drink less cold coffee. Because hot coffee can help you burn calories faster.

However, if you do the above, will you be able to lose weight successfully?

In response, Nanfang Daily published an article entitled "Don't try anything" to criticize several popular so-called weight loss methods, including "drinking black coffee".

The article believes that "drinking coffee to promote weight loss is not unreasonable", but also pointed out that "this is not a long-term solution."

Why do you say that? Because even coffee ground from coffee beans (low in fat and protein) also contains tannic acid, fatty acids, vitamins, protein, fat and other substances, and the content of caffeine is not high. It doesn't have much effect on weight loss-unless you drink a lot of coffee and increase your caffeine intake, it's definitely harmful to human health, which is tantamount to drinking poison to quench your thirst.

From this point of view, friends who want to drink black coffee to achieve weight loss, it is better to be cautious.

Just imagine, if the slimming effect of coffee is very outstanding, should there be a lot of "slimming coffee" on the market? But at present, the market for weight loss products is still dominated by all kinds of weight loss teas and weight loss capsules.

However, the barcode has noticed that there has been a fever of "L-carnitine 360 slimming coffee" in recent years. The cause is that he Jiong, host of Hunan Satellite TV, once mentioned the slimming effect of L-carnitine with black coffee in a program, and then related products appeared in this name.

He Jing has already clarified that "he has never endorsed or recommended this weight loss product."

In fact, this is not a "weight loss product" at all, because it does not have a "blue hat", only QS certification.

Barcode Jun found that there is only one type of coffee that really has the effect of losing weight (it is a health product), and the approval number was only obtained in 2015 (G20151040).

At present, only Tiffany, St. Peter and other brands of slimming coffee use this batch number.

Here, the barcode would like to remind everyone that the so-called "drinking coffee can lose weight" may not be as beautiful as you think, and there are still very few real "slimming coffee" products on the market. If you want to buy it, you must recognize the "blue hat" logo!
