On the basis of caffeine, many fat-burning drugs are prepared, this is due to its property that it speeds up metabolism. But, coffee only helps to lose weight, lying on the couch, hugging a box of chocolates and a cup of aromatic coffee, you can hardly achieve good results in losing weight. Ground coffee is considered ideal for weight loss, without any additives, that is, without milk, cream and sugar.
