coffee and insulin sensitivity

[Smallerpack]

I read an article about how coffee will raise insulin resistance in the body, basically for several hours a day. If true this would explain why I have a tougher time burning fat when I am drinking cups of coffee a day vs. no coffee. what are your thoughts on this information and do you drink coffee, i know it is a touchy subject.

It's not true, there is no real evidence coffee increases insulin resistance.

there are multiple studies showing that coffee reduces insulin sensitivity.

why? think about it logically. anything that disrupts your metabolic rate will have a counter effect. that is called SURVIVAL

it is the same reason fasting will not lower metabolism, but eating in a deficit will

if you are trying to lose weight the best thing you can do is limit coffee intake

It's not a touchy subject.

You have to look at it for you personally. It sounds like it isnt helping you. Coffee does help a lot of people lose weight though. Not necessarily directly but it does reduce appetite and if you are drinking coffee, that is better than eating in some cases. I use it as a tool but do not abuse it.

i really don't know much about it. i only drink coffee when i wake up

Coffee is fine. Now if you go adding a bunch of creamer and sugar that's another story
