Lose Weight with Organic Coffee http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1981/lose-weight-with-organic-coffee/ There are lots of health benefits of organic coffee but how about weight loss? A few years ago there was a suggestion that you could lose weight with green coffee beans and green coffee extract. This really sounded good until more information surfaced. Then we wrote about the bogus green coffee extract claim. Its turns out that losing weight with green coffee extract claims were too good to be true. Or perhaps you can lose weight but the study was flawed and did not prove the claim. But, bad study and faulty claims aside, can you lose weight with organic coffee? Coffee and Exercise We have written about how coffee enhances athletic performance. [D]rinking coffee increases adrenaline. Adrenaline increase heart rate and blood flow, increases blood flow specifically to the brain and helps improve short term speed and endurance. Scientifically, the caffeine in coffee is an ergogenic aid for sustaining a high degree of effort over the short term. And coffee only lasts just so long and then the body metabolizes and excretes it. Typically half of the caffeine that you ingest at 7 am is gone by 1 pm (a six hour half-life). If our hypothetical 154 pound runner drinks two cups of coffee and gets 400 milligrams into his system he will still have 200 milligrams six hours later. This is plenty of time for a slow marathon runner to complete the course or for someone to complete a soccer match. The reason coffee enhances athletic performance is that it allows you to burn more calories faster giving you more energy. The key to losing weight is to burn calories as well. So, drink your organic coffee and go work out. It is a good way to lose weight!
