Does adding sugar to coffee diminish its weight loss effects?
With the development of science, drinking coffee has been discovered to have many uses in supporting beauty and health, including weight loss. However, many people often like to add a little sugar and sweetener to coffee to increase the flavor and sweetness. This habit raises concerns about the calories in sugar contributing to obesity. So, does adding sugar to coffee diminish its weight loss effects? Let’s find out with XLIII Coffee!
Drinking unsweetened coffee helps improve weight loss
Coffee has been proven by many studies to have excellent weight loss support thanks to the biologically active ingredients in the beans. Such as Caffeine, Theobromine, Theophylline, and Chlorogenic Acid. These substances can slow down the absorption of carbs, boost metabolism, improve average exercise performance, and help you burn fat more easily. In addition, some substances in coffee can mobilize fat from adipose tissue to promote weight loss. Caffeine stimulates the nervous system, signaling fat cells to break down fat.
A survey of more than 100.000 people found that đrinking unsweetened coffee can support weight loss in adults. Another study found that regular consumption of unsweetened coffee may contribute to a weight loss of about 0.12 kg within 4 years. This number is not significant, because scientists note that using coffee to lose weight requires combining an appropriate exercise and diet regimen.

Adding sugar makes coffee lose its weight loss effect
According to a report from the Nurses’ Health Study, increased consumption of decaf and decaf coffee is associated with weight loss. However, adding sugar to coffee may cause the coffee to lose its weight loss effect. Specifically, after comparing participants’ coffee consumption, habits, and weight over a long period, the results showed that drinking an extra cup of unsweetened coffee per day can reduce 0.26 pounds or 0.12 kg for 4 years. However, adding a teaspoon of sugar to coffee can cause the body to gain 0.09 kg more weight than expected over 4 years in both men and women. Upon further analysis, researchers from Harvard Medical School found that changes were more meaningful for people of younger ages, as well as those who were overweight or obese with a higher body mass index (BMI).
Adding a teaspoon of sugar to your daily coffee can cause your body to gain weight
Scientists note that weight loss or weight gain can be affected by many different factors. The use of coffee for weight control should be done with professional advice while limiting the use of sugar or high-calorie sweeteners. So, if you plan to use coffee in your weight loss plan, choose pure, unsweetened coffee and consult a nutritionist or doctor.
