Daily Fit Tip: Give coffee a second chance
Categories: Daily Fit Tip
Coffee has a bad reputation. Is it the jitter-inducing caffeine content? The bitter taste that for some people makes it necessary to load it with sugar? The fact that it's often served topped with whipped cream? Maybe all of the above. But take a second chance on coffee -- it could be help you get slim.
Yes, that's right: Coffee is slimming. Regular coffee has 0 calories, so it can help curb your hunger without doing too much damage to the numbers on the scale. It also has all-important antioxidants. And even more importantly? According to AOL Body, it can help boost your metabolism for up to two hours after you drink it.
Of course, this doesn't apply to fancy, fat-laden coffee drinks at Starbucks. When grabbing your java, make sure to keep it simple: Black is best, but adding a little skim milk and splenda won't hurt. And be sure to stick to no more than one or two cups a day.

Do you even read comments, seek for truth? or just push you own agenda and personal health philosophies? What's the last 20 health books you've read? I've read over a hundred the past few years and have been scratching my head at your blog.
Caffeine is a poisonous drug, which your body freaks out when it takes it and and speeds everything up in order to get rid of it as fast as possible. yeah... "it's good for you" laughable.
Calories don't make you fat, acid's do. Go read Living Health, Tony Robbins, and the PH Miracle, Alkalize or Die, etc. etc. etc.

Eckre, when I am looking for health advice, I like to read information
from doctors and scientists, not Anthony Robbins.
Dr. Weil says drinking coffee is OK, for example, although "no
evidence exists to suggest that using artificial sweeteners helps
anyone lose weight". So that would be a no on the Splenda.
Your mileage may vary, of course.
