Fat Burning Food #4 – Coffee

Fat Burning Food - Coffee
I’m sure that many of you will be VERY happy to see this one on the list.
I am. I LOVE Coffee!
Unfortunately, we are not referring to the milkshakes that pass for coffee in many of the so-called coffee bars today. Much like cinnamon, we often add far too many fattening things to coffee to ever call it healthy.
But most of you already know that. What you may not realize is that coffee — plain old coffee — is generally considered to be good for your health and has been cited as a fat burning food.
The caffeine in coffee helps to kick up your metabolism. Caffeine can also jump-start lipolysis – that’s the breakdown of fat.
One to two cups a day is ideal. Or you can add coffee to other foods during the day as shown below in our delicious recipes.
