Using Caffeine to Lose Weight

Caffeine, a member of the methylxanthines family, is naturally present in coffee beans, cocoa and tea leaves, and is known to be a stimulant.

Cyberpresse.ca reports that studies have proven consuming caffeine can help promote weight loss and help with weight maintenance. 

Some nutritionists are even recommending that their clients increase their use of caffeine when wanting to shed extra weight.

Studies carried out on rodents have shown that extended intake of caffeine aids in weight loss.  The amount of weight loss was also proportional to the amount of caffeine consumed.

Another study, conducted over 12 years, showed that people who use caffeine regularly were less prone to weight problems.
