Everyone knows that the best way to achieve your weight loss goals is through a consistent diet, eating enough of the right foods and eliminating those that are high in fat or carbs. Plus, a well-rounded exercise regimen of frequent cardio with strength-building exercises will take your fitness routine to the next level.
Now that you’re off to the right track, it’s time we let you in on a little secret. We know a simple trick that you can do this week to lose extra weight, fast. And the best part is, you barely have to change up your daily routine.
It all has to do with your morning cup of coffee.
How Coffee Can Help With Weight Loss
Studies have proven that coffee by itself can contribute to weight loss, especially if you drink the right roast. Light roast coffee is high in an organic compound called phenols, which help to boost your metabolism, burn fat and block calories from absorbing.
So if you’re already a coffee person, you are off to the right track. But there is a way to take your coffee to the next level of weight loss.
Cinnamon is the secret ingredient to losing weight fast, especially when added to coffee. Researchers from the University of Michigan Life Sciences Institute found that cinnamaldehyde, a compound naturally found in cinnamon, boosts your metabolism and helps your body to burn fat.
Replacing your current coffee additive with cinnamon can do wonders for your diet, especially if your current additive is sugar. While sugar slows your metabolism and increases your likelihood of gaining weight, cinnamon makes your morning cup of coffee a healthy fixture of your weight loss plan. Plus, cinnamon tastes pretty good in coffee.
