Coffee and Weight Loss

Q. In a magazine, I read that drinking coffee can help you lose weight. I'd like to know if this is true. Regards, Antonio (Florida)

R.Dear Antonio, I'm glad you are consulting before believing anything, especially since nowadays we can find plenty of information, but not all of it has a scientific basis. Keep in mind that coffee is rich in caffeine, which is a strong stimulant of the nervous system and a direct irritant to the stomach, so it is wise to drink it in moderation.  Besides, there is no scientific evidence supporting the recommendation of using coffee to lose weight. What's effective and safe, and therefore recommended, is combining a personalized diet plan with an exercise routine tailored to your physical condition. In MyDiet™ you will find healthy diet plans and the support of nutrition and health professionals who will help you reach your goals.
