According to Buchanan, Rachel and Robert D coffee contain caffeine that is able to suppress the appetite hence reduce the rate of consumption and this leads to weight loss since a little amount of food is . In addition, it facilitates burning of calories, this is by the stimulation of thermo genesis; the body generates energy and heat from the digesting food which prevent the accumulation of carbohydrates in the body. However, this has a slight effect and studies have not shown if it has a large effect (Buchanaan et al 309)
Clinical studies also show that tea and coffee extracts may boost metabolism and assist to burn fats. One study showed that the combination of these coffee and tea facilitate weight loss and maintenance among individuals who were moderately obese and were overweight. The researchers plotted out that the substances in green coffee and tea known as caffeine and catechins holds responsibility for the fat-burn effect hence reduction in weight (Onakpoya et al 5).
