Harness Coffee’s Power

Sipping is only a start! Here’s how to achieve the biggest better-body bang from every cup:

• Go for basic black. It goes without saying that sugary syrups and whipped cream are enemies of your waistline, but you should also opt out of milk, especially the full-fat variety, and sugar. These additives may reverse the fat-torching benefits of your mug by causing insulin levels to rise.13 If you can’t stomach your usual blend black, try a lighter roast, which is milder and may be easier to drink. Or add a splash of skim, and sip before hitting the gym—you’ll still rev up your workout, if not calorie burning.

• Give espresso a shot. If you like espresso better than coffee, go ahead and sip it instead. (But do go for the filtered kind to protect your heart from cholesterol-raising compounds.) Espresso has about a third less caffeine than coffee does, however, so you may want to order a double shot to achieve coffee’s full metabolism-boosting effect.

• Set your limit. Your body can build a tolerance to caffeine after only two or three cups, hindering its slimming benefits.14 Megajolts may also leave you jittery and unable to sleep and could increase levels of fat-promoting stress hormones. Aim to sip no more than a cup or two in a sitting and no more than about three cups a day. (And by cup, we mean 6 to 12 ounces, not the vase-size vessels coffee shops serve up.)
