We all know that losing weight can be a struggle—staying on a calorie deficit can be harder than it sounds. This is especially true for those who get hungry often and want to feel satiated.
Luckily, ambassador Cohnan Kotarski is back with his top tips. This time, he's telling us which three drinks will work in our favour for fat loss. Let's see what he has to say.
Black Coffee
Coffee isn't just great for boosting your energy and waking you up in the morning—it can also be super helpful when it comes to fat loss.
Coffee contains significant amounts of caffeine, which stimulates the nervous system. Caffeine can trigger the release of certain neurotransmitters, and this suppresses appetite.
Through mechanisms like this, and others including increasing metabolic rate and influencing hunger and satiety hormones, coffee has a noticeable effect on appetite.
So, when trying to lose fat, coffee is the perfect choice of beverage. To achieve fat loss, you must be in a calorie deficit. For many, this means limiting how much you eat.
By suppressing appetite, coffee makes it easier to eat less during the day, helping keep you on track with your goals. Black coffee is ideal for fat loss as it contains no additional carbs from added sugar or creamer.
Sparkling Water
A second drink that can help you achieve your fat loss goals is sparkling water. Like coffee, sparkling water also has a filling effect, making you feel satiated and curbing your appetite.
Drinking water in general can make you feel more full simply because it adds something to your stomach. With sparkling water, the carbonation can amplify this feeling by creating bubbles that expand in the stomach. This will make you feel even more full.
Sparkling water is a great option for fat loss being that it contains no calories. Plus, it'll keep you hydrated.
Diet Soda
Finally, a third beverage that can help support your weight loss goals is diet soda.
Similar to sparkling water, the carbonation in diet soda can help you feel more full. But this drink can also satisfy your sweet tooth cravings, helping you avoid sugary snacks—a double threat.
Diet soda can provide a tasty beverage that may curb some of your cravings, helping you stay in line with your nutrition plan.
