Diet for coffee

The coffee diet is one of the most stringent diets, which is very popular among the slimming ones, but it causes the most condemnations from medical specialists. Does Coffee Lose Weight? Rather yes than no.

The fact is that coffee is a stimulant of brain and physical activity. Coffee makes us more mobile and active, which by itself leads to getting rid of excess fat.

What else makes a diet for coffee so popular? Let's look at the most common variations on the theme of coffee and its use for weight loss.

Diet for coffee with milk

A cup of freshly brewed coffee without sugar contains only 2 calories. Coffee with the addition of milk - depending on its fat content - from 40 to 60 calories.

Why add milk? Firstly, coffee without sugar can not drink everything, but for the time of a diet, you know, sugar should be discarded. Milk makes the drink more pleasant to the taste, while retaining calcium, washed out by ordinary coffee, and also providing the body with energy and lifting the mood.

There are at least two variants of a diet for coffee with milk.

1. Every morning for 2 weeks, you should drink coffee with milk without adding sweeteners. Lunch should consist of a cup of coffee with milk, as well as a moderate amount of your favorite fruit to choose from and 100 g of boiled low-fat meat. Dinner - fresh vegetables to choose from (you can just cook a vegetable salad) and still the same coffee with milk. Such a diet should be adhered to for 2 weeks, not breaking down on sweets and flour products.
2. The second variant of the diet is designed for 1 week. Every morning you need to drink a cup of coffee. For lunch, you can choose from: fruits, vegetables, 100 grams of boiled meat, soft-boiled eggs, drinking a coffee with milk. For dinner, a fruit or vegetable salad is recommended. If you follow this diet in accuracy, then for a week you can rid yourself of 5 kg, and for 2 weeks - up to 8 kg.

To a diet for coffee with milk brought the best results, you should resort to physical exertion at least every other day. You can go jogging, fitness or swimming, or just walk on foot for long distances.

Diet on coffee and cigarettes

One of the most famous French diets is the diet for coffee and cigarettes - a very controversial way to lose weight, which can also be detrimental to health. Frenchwoman such a diet is called a "forced diet", or a "when the loved one dies": as is known, with the departure of a loved one, not before eating, it is only necessary to smoke and drink coffee nervously.

In the opinion of experts (we will omit notations about the dangers of smoking in general), cigarettes not only do not help, but also hinder weight loss, because they slow down the digestive process, worsening the digestion of food. The success of the diet on coffee and cigarettes is explained only by the fact that such a diet is actually starvation, when nicotine and caffeine are used to dull the feeling of hunger. In this case, a decrease in appetite is only a consequence of the inhibition of the motor function of the digestive tract. As a result, sooner or later, such a diet can "turn around" gastritis, enterocolitis, cardiac disorders and other unpleasant consequences.

To be or not to be such a diet is up to you.

Reviews about diet for coffee

Reviews about the diet for coffee are quite contradictory. Some users reasonably point out the harm of constant consumption of large quantities of coffee. Others, on the contrary, claim the effectiveness of the coffee diet for weight loss: while they feel great and expect to adhere to such diets in the future. Medical experts unequivocally hold the view that diet for weight loss simply can not be useful initially, and even more so those that provide for active and regular use of coffee.

Of course, coffee can suppress the "wolfish" appetite and stimulate a slow metabolism. However, you should be aware that more than 2 or 3 cups of coffee a day should not be used. Otherwise, you can easily "earn" yourself a sleep disorder, palpitations and increased blood pressure. In addition, frequent use of coffee on an empty stomach can adversely affect the work of the stomach and intestines, as well as the urinary system and the liver.

Why is coffee so popular for weight loss? Thanks to this drink, losing weight get rid of the head "hungry" pain, from dizziness, nausea and increased appetite, which are often pursued by most people sitting on strict diets.

Coffee is recommended to be consumed mainly in the morning, otherwise there may be insomnia, difficulties with falling asleep. Given that lack of sleep contributes to weight gain, potential sleep disorders should be avoided. If you feel that the coffee diet has a negative effect on your sleep, then revise the diet: perhaps you should reduce the amount of drink you drink, or make it less sturdy.

Another important point: any diet for coffee involves the use of a natural custard, not soluble. Remember all the important components of effective weight loss: full sleep, exclusion from the diet of sweets, flour products and harmful food, as well as compliance with the drinking regime: at least one and a half liters of clean drinking water a day. And coffee can be a good and, above all, a pleasant addition to a successful weight loss.
