    Studies on this subject are conflicting. I'm 63 years old and have drank
    coffee since I was a teenager. I don't have any heart problems.

    It's interestingly formulated where only near the end it says "Also,
    keep in mind that caffeine is a stimulant that can increase your heart
    rate and blood pressure, interrupt your sleep, and cause nervousness
    and irritability."

    To me, these are things that help with weight loss. Caffeine may not
    make you lose weight directly, but like any other stimulant, it can
    help you do things that burn calories. Even if it's just having to
    get in the middle of the night and go to the bathroom...

    No. Caffeine does not speed up the operation of your thyroid gland which
    controls your metabolism. Caffeine also does not build calorie-burning
    muscle.
    What's worse,
    1. It is a diuretic, it takes fluids out of your body. Sometimes hunger is
    disguised thirst. You can't afford to lose fluids through chemicals.
    2. It interferes with sleep. If you don't get the right amount of sleep,
    your body makes ghrelin which makes you hungry. You need to sleep to
    produce leptin which suppresses hunger.

    Yep. I don't know what I'd do without my diet coke and lattes every day.

    I guess my question would be: If you know getting more physical activity
    helps you lose weight, why do you need a chemical like caffeine to "force"
    you to do so?

    scientists can never know 100% what caffeine does to one's body. our
    body is too complex. when i drink coffee, i get sleepy.
    just because scientists/studies say caffeine is good, or we should take
    1000mg vitamin C , etc.. does not mean it works for everybody. ppl
    react differently to what's supposedly be good, or bad.
    too summarize, too much of a good thing is not good.
    have a balance in everything we eat.and try to go organic/natural

    Caffeine speeds one up. So it can make one burn more calories, is it
    significant enough to be a "weight loss tool", I really don't think so. I'm
    no doctor but I believe there is more to metabiolism than the thyroid
    gland.. I could be wrong...

    It's kinda funny to state "Caffeine also does not build calorie-burning
    muscles." You know any food /drink that does? and for that matter you know of
    any muscle that does not burn calories when used? I'm not sure I get your
    point there really..

    Isn't that why we drink water? to replenish the loss of fluids that happens
    naturally and chemically? Anybody "can afford" to lose fluids, as long as
    you drink enough water to make up for it.

    You've got some strong coffee is your morning coffee keeps you from sleeping
    at night, or even your afternoon coffee. As long as I don't drink coffee
    late afternoon, or in the evening, I've never felt a problem with it. Not to
    mention that when I'm short on sleep, I eat less, not more, because I feel
    really cr@ppy.

    Like anything, too much is too much. Caffeine isn't better or worst than any
    other food/drink item. It's all in how much. You can eat too much carrots,
    to the point of getting very sick. Doesn't mean carrots aren't good for you.

    Will~
