Lose Weight? Drink Black Coffee

This is good news for coffee drinkers!
Apart from the anti-oxidant benefit, drinking coffee boosts our metabolic rate.
Although it is a short term boost, said to be over the next four hours after your favorite cuppa, that morning cup of coffee helps to burn about 25 calories. If we look at a 700 calorie daily intake as a guide, that equates to about 3.5% which is something.
The calorie requirement of course varies from individual but the point is that it has to be black coffee. If you add cream, syrup or sugar then you will be taking in more calories than what that cup of coffee is going to help your body burn.
I like my coffee without sugar but my tummy still grows some simply because I add in milk. 
How about you?
