If you’re eating salads (and vegetables) , grilling lean meats and getting more exercise hoping
to lose the last bit of Winter weight, but you want the weight to come off faster.
So, what do you do?

Drink more of the beverage that one usually drinks to gain energy and jump start their
day.
The Beverage:
Coffee!

That’s right, the much maligned beverage can help you fast-track weight loss
in 3 ways and they are…

* Boosting Metabolism-
A single cup of coffee can help you burn an extra 150 calories a day-
enough to shed 16 pounds each year. The caffeine in coffee prods the cells
to burn more energy to generate body heat.
* Quashing Cravings-
Drink a cup of coffee in the morning and you can reduce blood sugar fluctuations
by 50%, plus ward off all-day cravings. The chlorogenic acid in coffee,
increases cells’ sensitivity to the blood sugar-regulating hormone insulin.
* Flush Out The Fat-
Polyphenols (plant compounds) in coffee (and tea) help dial down the release
of vasopressin, a hormone that causes your body to retain fluids. Drink 2 to 3
cups of coffee a day and lose up to 5 pounds of water weight in less than a month.
