TikTok is known for weight loss trends, from carnivorous diets to "ozempic." But the latest diet to make waves on social media is all about a cup of coffee: the coffee weight loss diet. In general, the diet involves adding specific ingredients—such as cinnamon, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper—to your coffee and drinking it within seven seconds of feeling hungry. TikTok users say it boosts metabolism and burns belly fat.
The health benefits of coffee are well known, but this diet is not supported by scientific studies. Also, the long-term health risks are definitely something to consider (increased gas and bloating issues).
What is the coffee diet?
There are different variations of the coffee diet online. But, in general, this diet involves adding additional ingredients to coffee to lose weight and increase metabolism. The drink must be consumed within 7 seconds.
While social media users praise this diet, there is no study or scientific evidence to support the idea that these coffee concoctions work, not to mention that they must be consumed within seven seconds.
What are the potential benefits?
Coffee itself has shown some potential health benefits, such as reducing the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes and some cancers.
What are the dangers of the coffee diet?
Diet can increase the risk of gas and bloating. Coffee itself is a drink that causes stomach upset for many people who drink it regularly.
Additionally, the ingredients that are added can further aggravate digestive system issues, especially for those with sensitive stomachs. Red pepper or hot spices contain capsaicin, an active ingredient that stimulates pain receptors in the body, causing a burning sensation. Another study showed that eating foods containing pepper caused greater abdominal pain and burning sensation compared to standard foods.
This diet is not guaranteed to prolong the effects in time, so the best alternative is always the three main meals, which must be complete with proteins, fibers and fruits and vegetables.
Hydration is also essential for weight management. Increasing water consumption can increase a process called lipolysis, a process where the body burns fat for energy.
Don't underestimate the power of sleep either. Lack of seven to nine hours of sleep a night in adults has been shown to cause increased appetite, hormone regulation and weight changes.
