In a recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the long-term effects of caffeine on weight loss were examined over a 12 year period in a study. It was found that long-term consumers of coffee weighed about 1 pound less after 12 years.
Does this mean that drinking coffee is a useful weight loss strategy? Not necessarily.
WATER WEIGHT OR FAT LOSS?
For one thing, we are only talking about a very modest difference in weight of one pound. For another thing, coffee acts as a diuretic, which means a substance which causes you to pass more urine. That means that very likely, the weight loss noted in the study and then some is due to decreased water weight, not fat.
