How to use coffee when losing weight?

Many find it difficult to wake up in the morning, especially when restricting the diet.After sleep, my head hurts and my muscles ache, it is difficult to get enough sleep, so people prefer to drink a cup of coffee to give the body a boost of energy. However, when losing weight, the question of whether it is possible to drink coffee is acute. During the diet, one has to carefully select hot drinks so as not to inadvertently exceed the permissible number of calories. It is necessary to figure out whether various coffee drinks can help get rid of excess weight, or should they be abandoned.

It is necessary to consider the solution of the problem in terms of biomechanical processes occurring in the body under the action of caffeine. After one cup of coffee you can notice the following changes.

• The chemical compound activates the peristalsis of the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, which stimulates the functioning of the organs of the digestive system and reduces the risk of constipation. Normalization of the stool is important in losing weight, because with daily emptying of the intestine, the elimination of toxins and slags is accelerated.
• Caffeine has a diuretic effect, due to which you can quickly get rid of excess fluid from the intercellular space. As a result of caffeine, puffiness decreases with low lymphatic drainage or microcirculation disorder, and weight decreases. Due to the diuretic effect, the volume of cellulite and the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer of the dermis are reduced.

• The active substance contained in coffee beans improves the functioning of the central and peripheral nervous system, especially after sleep. Coffee invigorates and gives the body the necessary energy, through which increases muscle tone. With an increase in the latter, people have a desire to move more, which most try to put into practice in the form of light physical exercises in the morning. As a result, more calories are burned, not only from food, but also accumulated in the form of fat reserves. When burning deposits, psycho-emotional control is improved and lightness is felt.
• Caffeine causes a surge of adrenaline, which increases heart rate. As a result of the development of tachycardia, the metabolic rate increases, requiring significant energy consumption. The blood supply to the tissues improves, the pressure rises.

These processes show that a healthy person with a special diet of coffee will help to burn an extra amount of calories and lose weight much faster. At the same time there are a number of contraindications to the use of hot drink:

• chronic inflammation of the stomach wall, ulcerative-erosive lesions in the digestive tract and increased acidity of the gastric juice;
• cholelithiasis;
• renal failure;
• pathologies of the cardiovascular system: ischemic myocardial disease, heart attack, arterial hypertension;
• sleep disorders, mental disorders, irritability.

Caffeine is actively used by people who want to overcome excess weight. The beneficial properties of a chemical compound can help in this matter for the following reasons:

• while taking coffee, the calorie content of foods that a person has eaten during the day is reduced due to an increase in the general metabolism;
• caffeine dulls the feeling of hunger, which is why the daily diet narrows;
• nutritional components contained in a hot drink help to saturate the body with the necessary energy during diet therapy and increase muscle tone;
• caffeine increases the endurance of skeletal muscles before physical exertion necessary for effective weight loss;
• The active component of coffee has a diuretic effect.

Despite all the beneficial properties of the product, it is strictly forbidden to abuse the hot drink, especially during the diet. The standard daily rate for a healthy person with normal functioning of the urinary system is from 5 to 7 cups. It is also important to bear in mind that in conditions with limited intake of nutrients, the body becomes more sensitive to meals and reacts in the form of increased neuromuscular stimulation.

Caffeine in its purest form dulls appetite and replenishes the body's energy expenditure. In parallel, a chemical compound causes a diuretic effect and activates muscle fibers for greater energy absorption than it stimulates increased fat burning. Due to this, medical specialists do not prohibit the inclusion of coffee in the diet during the period of diet therapy. If you follow a special diet, it is only important to think about the options for making a drink, because the calorie content of products may depend on the manufacturing technology.

Coffee without the addition of impurities, brewed on the basis of natural coffee beans, has a minimum energy value - only 2-3 kcal per 100 grams of hot drink. Their content is due to the presence of essential oils, which simultaneously give the drink a unique flavor. These figures can be neglected if you drink about 7 cups of coffee with a volume of 200 ml, because they will increase the caloric content of the daily diet by only 28 kcal. Therefore, when losing weight, it is allowed to drink coffee within the recommended norms without affecting the diet therapy process.

However, not every person is able to enjoy the daily bitter aftertaste of pure drink. To soften the taste, various food additives are used, which can increase the energy value of the product several times:

• milk, ice cream or heavy cream;
• caramel;
• granulated sugar;
• cocoa powder or chocolate.

To protect yourself from the consumption of extra calories, you need to figure out which options for making coffee are not suitable or will be useful during weight loss.

• Brewing methods that do not include additional ingredients, except boiling water and coffee beans, will not be able to affect well-being and body weight. Therefore, subject to the diet allowed to use American, literally and espresso. The bitter taste helps many to soften 1-2 teaspoons of granulated sugar. But in one spoon is about 30-35 kcal, due to which the caloric content of the drink is increased by 2 times. When two spoons are added to a tonic, the energy value of the product rises to the number of calories in one pear, so when you take 6-7 mugs of hot coffee you will have to eliminate about one meal per day from the diet.

• Cappuccino with the right cooking process it consists of 75% milk or cream. To decorate the drink with a resistant and thick milk froth on top, a dairy product with a fat content of 4% and higher is used. The indicators are reflected in the energy balance of the drink, because coffee with a high fat content will become far from a diet drink. In the course of experimental studies it was found that a glass with a volume of 300 ml contains about 125 kcal. Therefore, when using coffee with milk while observing the diet, it is necessary to use a product with a low percentage of fat content or refuse to use it at all.
• Experts in the field of dietology categorically prohibit the inclusion in the daily diet during weight loss high-calorie mokachino, in 100 grams of which contains about 250-300 kcal. The high energy value of a hot drink is due to the chocolate content. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze well the benefits and harms of the product when used during a period of weight loss.
• Mokachino in terms of calorie content, only coffee drinks with the addition of heavy cream or ice cream - frappuccino or glace - are superior. Depending on the amount of dietary supplements that are high in fat, the amount of calories varies from 450 to 500. Such drinks can not be drunk not only with weight loss, but also abused with a normal diet. Fatty cream negatively affects the process of digestion, the state of the gastrointestinal tract and the general metabolism.

In some cases, people remember about the express diet, which means to drink only 6 cups of coffee with milk for three days (2 every day). With this restriction of nutrition for 3 days, you can lose weight by 1-2 kilograms, but you must remember that they are easy to gain at the end of the diet. Also, such restrictions will reflect badly on the general condition of the body. When food is restricted, the body begins to deplete domestic reserves for energy. But after completion of therapy, the body will quickly fill up the lost mass, because it considers it necessary to prepare for the next period of exhaustion.

Nutritionists recommend not drinking coffee with sugar or adding any other high-calorie supplements. Medical specialists in this field have developed a special diet, which can lead to overweight, and it is not necessary to give up your favorite hot coffee.

The algorithm is simple.

1. In the morning, on an empty stomach, you need to drink freshly brewed coffee from natural ground beans. Sugar should not be added. For the next 60 minutes, you cannot eat other foods or drink water.
2. It is required to drink 250 ml of flavored drink during the day together with a meal. Per day goes from 4 to 5 times.
3. During this diet, it is allowed to eat buckwheat, lean meat, vegetables and fruits. You can take coffee with brown rice, to mitigate the negative effect of organic acids on the mucous membranes of the stomach. Vegetables are not recommended to fry.

This diet therapy allows you to get rid of a week from 5 kg. The use of pure coffee is strictly prohibited to people with arterial hypertension or with ulcerative-erosive diseases of the stomach and duodenum.

When losing weight, you can allow to drink a coffee drink with milk, if the last ingredient has a low percentage of fat (about 0.5-1%). You must completely abandon the addition of sugar, because it is not included in the list of dietary supplements. Coffee in combination with milk is allowed for use so that a person can more easily tolerate dietary restrictions.

It is recommended to adhere to the following rules when turning on coffee with milk in the diet.

1. In the morning you need to drink a hot drink on an empty stomach before breakfast. No need to add sugar. It is allowed to use coffee after every meal during the day except at night. During the diet, it is important to maintain a normal cycle of sleep and wakefulness.
2. At lunchtime, along with coffee, diluted milk, you can eat poultry meat, fresh vegetable salads or stewed vegetable food.
3. Dinner should be held 4-6 hours before bedtime with the use of any vegetables and fruits.

For 14 days it is possible to lose about 8 kg of excess weight.

The calorie content of instant coffee powder is low, but drinks made from it have a negative effect on the functional activity of the digestive system.Instant coffee has a tough effect on mucous membranes and the level of motility of smooth muscles, unlike ground coffee based on natural beans.

Espresso is the most relevant, provided that its manufacturing technology is based on the cooking of natural coffee tree grains. The drink contains the minimum number of calories, but it has a tonic effect on the body and provides the body with energy. The positive effect of the drink is enhanced in the morning, when the effect of caffeine is complemented by a high level of serotonin - wake hormone.

Espresso additionally dulls the feeling of hunger due to the high concentration of caffeine.

The standard daily rate is 4-5 mugs of coffee with a volume of 250 ml. You can not drink more than 1.5 liters of pure coffee per day, because it will increase the risk of developing various diseases. Doctors do not recommend drinking a hot drink in the evening, so as not to cause excitability of the nervous system and not to disrupt the process of falling asleep. At bedtime, you can replace coffee with a relaxing herbal tea.

During the buckwheat diet, a drink based on coffee beans is allowed for use in the morning. Nutritionists recommend limiting 1-2 cups of natural coffee per day without adding sweeteners or milk. Diet, involving the use of only buckwheat and kefir, can sometimes vary. Coffee also provokes the breakdown of fat deposits, which is important when maintaining a buckwheat diet.
