A recent review of 21 studies indicates that caffeine positively affects the body's metabolism. However, most habitual coffee drinkers do not experience the weight loss they might expect. So, what is the explanation? It appears to be related to three factors in coffee that negate or even reverse its potential fat-burning effects.
Tolerance: The First Coffee Killer
Like any substance, the body develops a higher tolerance to caffeine with consistent consumption.
Essentially, the more coffee consumed, the less impactful it becomes.
This diminished effect applies to all benefits, from mental alertness to the previously mentioned boost in metabolism...
Thus, the challenge lies in sustaining that metabolic increase over the long term.
Coffee Killer #2: Low Quality
The Harvard School of Health states that coffee is a rich source of antioxidants, which combat aging effects and bolster a youthful, rapid metabolism.
Yet, the majority of coffee brands, even the costly "organic" or "premium" ones, utilize beans of such inferior quality that each cup yields merely a minimal amount of antioxidants.
If only there were a method to recover those forfeited nutrients in the coffee we consume...
Coffee Killer #3: Bodily Toxins
This issue isn't caused by coffee itself but rather by what's already present in the body.
A study in Environmental Science & Technology reports that the average American ingests about 70,000 microplastic particles annually.
Furthermore, research indicates that adipose tissue, also known as body fat, is particularly susceptible to accumulating organic pollutants.
Additionally, we are continually exposed to a myriad of toxins from various sources.
