Can Caffeine Help You Lose Weight?
You've probably noticed that caffeine is a staple ingredient in many popular diet pills as well as homemade fat-burning stacks. And you've probably also heard experts suggest that you drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages to help you lose weight. All of this begs the question, can caffeine really help you lose weight?
The answer is yes. And it primarily helps you lose weight in two ways:
1. By Boosting Your Metabolism
Ingesting caffeine jumpstarts the process of lipolysis, which is when your body releases free fatty acids into the bloodstream. This occurs when your body is breaking down your fat stores to convert it into energy. In other words, caffeine boosts your metabolism slightly and helps you burn fat.2
2. By Giving You An Energy Boost
If there's one thing that everyone knows about coffee and similar beverages and pills, it's that caffeine is a stimulant. It increases alertness and wards off drowsiness temporarily, which means that you can perform certain tasks for longer.
However, this isn't just limited to mental tasks. This includes physical tasks as well, such as running or lifting weights. This means a little shot of caffeine can give you the energy you need to give 100% during your workout. And giving 100% in the gym means you'll get the results you want more quickly.
So now that we've established that caffeine can indeed help you with your weight loss efforts, that brings us to the next question...
How Much Caffeine Do You Need?
This is a bit tricky to answer, since different people react to caffeine in different ways. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about - some people drink one cup of coffee and they get all hopped up for hours. Others can drink cup after cup all day long with seemingly very little effect.
Tip: If you're someone who drinks a lot of caffeine and thus you have a high tolerance for it, you may want to consider first breaking your addiction and letting your body get used to no caffeine for a while. That way, when you eventually do ingest a small amount of caffeine you'll actually benefit from the effects.
If you don't regularly ingest a lot of caffeine, then a couple hundred milligrams will likely produce noticeable effects. You may want to start with 100 milligrams to see how it goes, then up your intake to 200 milligrams. You can then increase the dose by 50 milligrams if you're still not feeling any effects.

But Here's The Problem...
Unless you're taking your caffeine in pill form or in a standardized liquid, it's hard to tell how much caffeine you're actually getting. Coffee has considerably more caffeine than tea or chocolate. However, different coffee brands and even different roasts have varying levels of caffeine, so it's difficult to say for sure exactly how much caffeine is in each cup. A good rule of thumb, however, is to figure that each cup of coffee has about 80 to 125 milligrams of caffeine.
A Good Rule Of Thumb, However, Is To Figure That Each
Cup Of Coffee Has About 80 To 125 Milligrams Of Caffeine.
As such, if you want to ingest your caffeine through coffee, start with just one cup to see how you feel. If needed, you may drink a cup or two extra to boost your energy and alertness. Personally, I sometimes like to add coffee to my protein shake. It's tasty and gives me just the boost I need to have a great workout!
Caffeine Is Awesome - But Be Careful
We've established that caffeine can boost your weight-loss efforts. But it can also hinder them if you make these mistakes...
Getting Caffeine Via Sugary Or High-Calorie Drinks
If you're getting your caffeine through a sugary energy drink or a high-calorie fancy coffee (like a cappuccino), then you're doing more harm than good. It's better to stick with black coffee or even caffeine pills.
If You're Getting Your Caffeine Through A Sugary Energy Drink Or A High-Calorie Fancy Coffee Then You're Doing More Harm Than Good.
Taking In Too Much Caffeine
Too much caffeine is harmful to your health. It can make your heart race, make you feel jittery and give you a whole host of other symptoms like nausea. If you don't normally ingest caffeine, then just start with small amounts to see how your body reacts. And even if you're used to it, be sure that you don't overdose.

Using Caffeine When You're In A "High Risk" Group
If you're pregnant, have heart problems, or you have other vulnerabilities or illnesses, talk to your doctor first before taking caffeine.
Getting Addicted To Caffeine
Caffeine is a drug, specifically a stimulant. As such, it beats up on certain systems in your body. And if you stop taking it after using it consistently, you'll quickly feel the withdrawal effects (such as headaches). As such, you need to monitor how much you use to be sure you don't get addicted or develop a high tolerance.

If You Stop Taking Caffeine After Using It Consistently, You'll Quickly Feel The Withdrawal Effects (Such As Headaches).
So Here's The Bottom Line...
If you're not currently drinking coffee or getting caffeine in other ways, you don't need to start ingesting it. You can enjoy good weight-loss and fitness results without it.
However, if you're already a coffee drinker or you otherwise ingest caffeine regularly, the good news is that you don't have to stop. Since it seems to be more beneficial than harmful - and because it does give you a slight edge in the gym - you can keep enjoying your caffeine. Just be sure to do it in moderation so as to avoid getting addicted.

If you are overweight and looking for a pick-me-up that may also support your body burning a few extra calories, look no further than a commonly used substance worldwide: caffeine. Learn more below...
By: Marie Spano
Aug 17, 2010
What Is Caffeine?
Caffeine is a xanthine alkaloid compound that stimulates the central nervous system, temporarily increasing alertness. It is the most widely consumed legal psychoactive agent (a substance that affects brain functioning) in the nation.
Caffeine is found in the beans, fruit or leaves of over 60 plants and therefore, caffeine may not be listed on the label of a supplement or functional food but instead, you may see some of the following listed: guarana berries, mat, chocolate or cocoa, Camilla sinensis (the leaves of this plant are used to make tea) or kola nut. Some of these plant-based sources of caffeine include other stimulants as well including theophylline and theobromine.
The most notorious use of caffeine is to support mental alertness and help ward off mental fatigue. However, there are many other potential applications as well.
Caffeine is used to fight the mental and physical fatigue of training (traditional athletic training or military training), support other issues associated with eccentric exercise and support glycogen resynthesis.
In addition, caffeine can be found in weight loss products, energy drinks and combined with analgesics for treating headaches.
Is It Safe?
In the United States, caffeine is Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS). However, each individual's ability to tolerate caffeine differs. Some people experience negative side effects after ingesting very small quantities of caffeine while others can drink a pot of coffee a day with no problem (though this isn't recommended!).
Doses of 250 - 300 mg or more per day can lead to a rapid, irregular heartbeat and difficulty sleeping. Ingesting extreme quantities, 10 - 14 grams (or 150-200 mg per kg body weight) can lead to death.
It is recommended that pregnant women consume below 300 mg of caffeine per day. Caffeine in high doses can lead to spontaneous abortion, low birth weight and/or premature birth.
In addition, experts recommend the following individuals avoid caffeine altogether: those with anxiety disorders, cardiac problems, glaucoma and high blood pressure. Caffeine can increase the risk of adverse side effects when taken with certain over the counter or prescription drugs including diethylpropion (Tenuate), epinephrine, phentermine (Ionamin) and pseudoephedrine (Sudafed), stimulants, riluzole (Rilutek) phenylpropanolamine and clozapine.
Therefore, it is always wise to check with your personal physician if you are concerned about your caffeine intake or caffeine's potential interaction with a medical condition or medication.
Many supplements and beverages do not indicate how much caffeine is in them. If you are concerned, call the company and ask.
In a USDA study that examined the caffeine content of energy drinks, researchers found that these beverages, in general, contain the amount of caffeine commonly found in sodas and coffee drinks.
However, supplements containing caffeine varied wildly from less than 200 mg per serving (the majority of supplements studied fell into this category) to over 800 mg (one supplement).

How The Bodybuilding Supplement Caffeine May Support An Increase In Calorie Burning
1. Caffeine May Support The Increase Of Lipolysis.
Caffeine may temporarily support lipolysis, the breakdown of fat.
2. Caffeine May Temporarily Support The Increase Of Thermogenesis.
Caffeine, alone or in combination with other supplements, may temporarily raise one's metabolism boosting calorie burning. Keep in mind that this effect may be diminished in people who habitually consume caffeine - especially those who habitually consume large quantities of caffeine (>300mg/day).
3. Caffeine Works With Green Tea.
Few people would doubt that tea is one of nature's best drinks. And, research continues to examine the many potential benefits associated with tea consumption.
In weight loss supplements, it seems that green tea, in particular the catechin EGCG, when combined with caffeine, works synergistically. This combination has been suggested to boost circulating levels of norepinehrine, which stimulates the breakdown of stored fat and stored carbohydrate.
Additional Tips To Increase Calorie Burning:
Add Activities Of Daily Living.
Don't discount the calories burned during activities of daily living such as cleaning your car (versus letting someone else clean it), walking as opposed to driving, cleaning your home etc. Even if you go to the gym for an hour every day, it is vital to be active throughout the day. This is especially important for those with sedentary desk jobs.
Add Intervals.
If you are doing cardio, add one or two interval sessions every week. By increasing the intensity (in this case, varying the intensity), intervals will help you burn through calories at warp speed.
Add a little more protein. You burn more calories digesting protein than you do digesting fat and carbohydrate. Though we need all three of these macronutrients, it is a good idea to take a look at your diet and substitute protein for fat or carbohydrate if you are over-consuming either of these macronutrients.
Lift For Growth.
By adding muscle tissue, your metabolically active tissue, you'll burn more calories at rest. Granted, the amount you burn at rest is often overblown, but even a few calories a day, over time, can help with weight loss or weight maintenance.
The best way to lose weight is through a sound diet and exercise program. Caffeine alone will not help you shed pounds. However, if used responsibly, you may support a boost in athletic performance and alertness as well as possibly burn a few more calories in the process.

CAFFEINE GIVES INSTANT STRENGTH IN THE GYM
In addition to providing energy during workouts, consuming caffeine can also enhance strength gains. According to a study published in the May 2010 issue of the "Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition," subjects ingesting caffeine improved their one rep maximum bench press, or the maximum amount of weight lifted for one rep, compared to the placebo group.
and you know when you lift more, you ripped and break down your muscle then with protein and bcaa's with rest it repair the tissue and the tissue grows stronger and bigger.

Caffeine Dosage - Dont Overdose
Caffeine Doses between 3-5 mg/kg/body weight taken 30-60 minutes before training should produce a performance-boosting effect in most people. That would be equivalent to about three cups of coffee or three cans of caffeinated energy drink. However, as the sensitivity to caffeine varies, you may need to adjust the exact dose. Many people take caffeine overdose. But let me tell you that Overdosing or exceeding intake more than 5 mg/kg/body weight will not give you any further benefit but rather increase the caffeine content of your urine to levels above 12 micrograms/ml. This is the upper limit permitted in drug-tested sports.
Caffeine Side Effects
Up to a certain level, caffeine can make you feel more alert and wide awake. Excessive amounts can increase restlessness, nervousness, trembling, irritability and cause diarrhea or even heart palpitations. If you are susceptible to caffeine's side effects, it probably isn't worth taking as you won't get a performance-boosting effect and you can drink caffeine free green tea. Caffeine is also a diuretic, causing you to excrete more fluid. If you do decide to use caffeine, drink extra water before and during exercise to counteract this effect.
So there you go, i hope you have a better understanding the benefits and risk of the World's Most used Drug Caffeine.
Stay away from the sugar energy drinks that contains to much sugar AND fat. I used 200mg of Caffeine before my work out. I take it with green tea extract on empty stomach to burn fat, it's a great and cheap fat burner and pre work out.
And i get my caffeine in pill form, the brand i used higher power and cheap supplements you get 130 pills that will last about six weeks if you take it 3x a day for around 6-7 bucks, a steal.

OK this is my start of my 2nd week and i lost 8 pounds already by just eating clean, boxing in the gym and cardio at 6 in the morning.
Like i said im taking my time and to get my body back used to this lifestyle. I go to the gym to do cardio early in the morning. I pop a caffeine and Green tea extract in pill form with some bcaa's on a empty stomach and i go do some cardio.
My knees is bad due to the years of football in High School, playing with torn ligaments, running the streets as a youth, Squating and Hack Squats and Leg Pressing some HEAVY ASS WEIGHTS, Torn my menisus last year in a fight, and running 6 miles a day at a lake for 2 years, 5 years ago pounding on the hard pavment. With the extra poundage i put on so my knees pop's when i walk, a brotha cant creep when i come in at night because the knee go pop, pop, pop,pop when i walk.
So the fish oil is helping out with the joints and even the lil weight lost helps out a lot, i will get some other things for the knee to get the cartilige strong again.
I still havent made my diet plan out or even take protein yet. but im eating these things.
Carrots, celery, salad. oatmeal, tuna, turkey meat, chicken breast, subway, low carb burger, almonds, veggie shakes, boiled chicken then i shred the meat, whole wheat grain bread, tuna, grape fruit.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG ASS JOURNEY, CAN I CUT DOWN TO 212 AGAIN WITH A 34 WAIST then bulk up to 240 on some Hulk out shit again. Im trying, this aint nothing new to me but there is going to be some bumps in the roads, roll with the punches and get back on the horse.

Great inspired song, ALL GLORY BELONGS TO YAHUWAH! He comes first and our body he bless us with to use we should try to keep good care of, his dietry laws should be followed there is lots of stories how following Yahuwah dietary laws produce great benefits and fight off diease and fat add muscles to the body and mind.
Daniel 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
1:9 Now Elohim had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.
1:10 And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my master the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king.
1:11 Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
1:12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
1:13 Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
1:14 So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.
1:15 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat.
So Daniel refuse the King's meat and wine and asked for water and veggies and after 10 days they was stronger and healthier then the other Hebrews who ate the kings fatty meats and wine.

PUMPKIN PROTEIN SHAKE
1 cup skim or lowfat milk
1/2 cup canned (pure/natural) pumpkin
1 scoop vanilla casein protein powder
cinnamon to taste
sweetener is optional (splenda or stevia, if you prefer avoiding the art. sweet's)
blend it up and..... yum! Drink up.
Yep, that's it, just 4-5 ingredients. Loaded with protein
NO sugar! Delicious! Sure you could use more ingredients
and get all fancy, but just try this basic version first and
see whatcha think.
The casein powders are great for this kind of shake because
they are so thick (compared to whey which is more watery
in shakes)... and a 'secret tip': shakes with viscocity, aka thickness
or even some kind of "chew factor", have been scientifically
proven to increase how full you feel.
If you're really hungry / thirsty, (or if you're a BIG DUDE),
you might want to scale up those ingredients a bit.
it's the holidays stay strong!!!!!!

Green Tea & Bodybuilding
Green Tea is a very popular tea for people into health and Fitness and even the general public. Green Tea can be beneficial to the goals of bodybuilders as you will see in this article.
About Green Tea
Green Tea drinking goes back thousands of years. Green Tea
has more powerful anti-oxidant protection then Vitamin C and E. It also has been proven in studies to reduce risk of many different cancers including: stomach, small intestine, pancreas and colon. Lung cancer prostate, bladder and skin cancer.
Green tea also reduces blood sugar so should be a necessary part of a diet for those susceptible with the diabetic gene or with a family background of Diabetes. It also reduces blood pressure and aiding recovery of people from heart attacks. In addition, Green Tea reduces cholesterol levels and protects against arthersclerosis and heart disease, making it an all around heart healthy additive to one’s diet.
Green tea also fights against spread of disease as Tea catechins are strong antibacterial and antiviral agents. It also helps relieve the symptoms of the Flu diarrhea. It also protects the body
against dangerous blood clots, arthritis, osteoporosis, preventing parkinsons disease, and much more. It even improves your cognitive function. No wonder why I feel so creative after drinking a cup of Green Tea!
Green Tea and Fat Loss
Green Tea has a dramatic effect on increasing metabolism. According to studies it can increase your metabolism by as much as 1/3! Many of today’s fat loss stacks already include powdered green tea in them. Green Tea also may give you that extra energy you need to motivate you to want to do your endurance excercises during cutting cycles.
Green Tea before Workouts
Due to the fact that each cup of Green Tea is equal to 1/3 of a cup of coffee it can be worthwhile to drink pre-workout to your weight training. Caffeine is a performance enhancer according to studies causing a significant increase in strength. That extra strength from the caffeine can lead to overall better muscle gains long term.
Green Tea Daily intake recommendations
Green Tea is recommended to be taken 3 times a day. One in the morning, afternoon, and one early evening. On weight lifting days have one cup before your weight lifting workout.
Green Tea Side Effects
Although Green Tea is very safe for most people, it does have side effects in large amounts, so you must be careful. Check with your doctor if you have hypoglycemia or diabetes before taking. These are some of the common effects if you drink more then 5 cups a day.
Stomach upset
Constipation
Headache
Sweating
Anxiety
Nervousness
Insomnia
Restlessness
Agitation
Tremor
Irritability
Heart arrhythmias
Palpitations
Heartburn
Loss of appetite
Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Dizziness
Ringing in the ears
Elevated blood sugar
Elevated cholesterol
Liver toxicity
Convulsions
Also Green Tea will interact with some medications. Green tea should not be taken with asprin as both are blood thinners. Adenosine for irregular heart rhythm is also reduced by Green Tea. MAOI inhibitors used for depression and Phenylpropanolamine can cause a severe spike in blood pressure when either is taken with Green Tea. If you are taking beta blockers green tea will increase your blood pressure.
