Supplements: Caffeine or how I learned to love Coffee

Love it or hate it, coffee is one of the most traded consumables on earth.  
There's a good reason for it too. Aside from the taste, relatively cheap cost, anti-oxidant properties, coffee has caffeine!  There's something called Adenosine
and when the body gets tired, they hook up to the brain's Adenosine receptors.  Coffee inhibits this connection, So the Pituitary gland sees this, is fooled into an emergency state, and signals the body's Adrenaline gland to release Adrenaline.





The positive effects of Caffeine:
  • Reduces appetite
  • Decreases depression
  • Increased alertness when tired 
  • Willingness to consider alternative theories 
  • Increases physical stamina and reduces perceived exertion 
  • Increases performance on boring, repetitive tasks 
Effects that may aid in weight loss:
  • Reduction of appetite
  • Increased metabolism
  • Stimulation to the body's GI system

Stay away from those high priced, blended sugar drinks - They are not weight loss friendly.  It's best to drink coffee without any cream or sugar.  This may be impossible for some in which case, moderation is key.  Look for  high quality coffee beans.  Most stores have grinders next to the beans, this is the best way to buy your coffee.  A simple drip machine can be bought for as low as $10.
Remember that coffee is a stimulant and can make sleep difficult if consumed too late. 

Be safe:  Always consult a professional before making any changes to your diet or exercise routine!
