Consurated daily by millions of people in Brazil, coffee is more than a habit: it is part of the food routine, at home, at work or after lunch on the street. The sugar -free version has gained space among those who try to reduce measurements. But after all, does the pure drink help in weight loss?
“Coffee alone does not lose anyone. But if used intelligently inside a dietary plan, it can be a light, convenient and functional ally.” Explains Dr. Tassiane Alvarengga Endocrinologist and Metabologist of Sbem.
Because it is a drink practically without calories and containing caffeine, it can:
• Discreetly increase energy expenditure,
• momentarily reduce appetite,
• Improve physical performance and focus, which can favor physical activity.
But the doctor warns: “Coffee does not replace the meal. It should not be used as an appetite inhibitor or strategy to” skip dinner “. It is not because it is natural that it is without side effects,” he says.
In excess, coffee can cause insomnia, anxiety, tachycardia and, in some people, even gastric discomfort.
“I love working with nutritional strategies that have support. Coffee and cinnamon can be part of it, but they must be used with consciousness. What losing weight is not a drink. It is a lifestyle, science, balance and constancy,” he adds.
Nutritionist Vanessa Furstenberger says that sugar -free coffee can help weighing loss indirectly, since it acts for a while as a thermogenic and accelerated metabolism and promoting a slight increase in caloric expenses.
“Improve the performance in training, which increases the calorie spending of the session. However, so that coffee constantly helps in weight loss, it must be in a context of adequate diet and lifestyle. Avoid combining it with sugar, condensed milk, whipped cream or caloric contours”, concludes.
