A recent review of 21 studies highlights caffeine's positive impact
on metabolism.
But why aren't regular coffee drinkers shedding pounds as they might expect?
The answer lies in the three "coffee killers" that negate or even reverse coffee's fat-burning benefits.
Coffee Killer #1: Tolerance
Repeated caffeine use leads to increased tolerance, reducing coffee's
effectiveness over time. The more you drink, the less impact it has on both mental
stimulation and metabolism. The challenge is maintaining that metabolism boost
in the long term.
Coffee Killer #2: Low Quality
Despite coffee being a great source of antioxidants, most brands (including
premium ones) use low-quality beans that provide minimal antioxidants. If only
we could reclaim those lost nutrients with the coffee we already drink.
Coffee Killer #3: Toxins in the Body
This issue isn't coffee's fault but rather what’s already inside our bodies. The
average American consumes about 70,000 bits of microplastic annually, and body
fat tends to store these pollutants. Plus, we're constantly bombarded with toxins
from various sources, making it even harder for coffee to work its magic.
