Coffee and Sugar - How They Work Together To Make You Fat

I know from my own personal experience that it's almost impossible to stay away from the high-sugar snacks and muffins if I drink coffee every morning.

And it isn't just me. The extra stimulation from caffein increases those midmorning feelings of hunger. Actually, the feelings are symptoms of mild hypoglycemia. That doesn't mean that coffee causes hypoglycemia - it just means that a coffee addiction can cause the symptoms of this illness.

And these symptoms are often (perhaps almost always) interpreted as hunger.

You get slightly faint, you feel a little jittery, you have a mild headache, or you get a strange feeling in your stomache. Time to grab a muffin or a candy bar.

You can also bring on temporary symtoms like these by consuming a soft-drink, muffin or many breakfast cereals. When the sugar has been cleared out of your bloodstream about 2 hours later, you don't feel so good, and you naturally want to "fix" the problem. Eating baked goods, candy or pasta is "the hair of the dog" cure for sugar addicts. It makes us feel temporarily better, but it also makes us fat.

Because coffee can make it so much harder to stick with a healthy, low-sugar diet, I highly recommend that you give up the habit. I know you'll get a caffein headache, and I know you'll miss your trip to Starbucks. But it could make the difference between success and failure on your diet.

New research shows that low-calorie diets can cause food obsessions and binge eating. They can even make sugar addiction worse. No wonder most people end up fatter than they started when they try to lose weight with a low-calorie diet.

Lose 3 to 5 pounds a week without surgery, starvation diets or dangerous appetite suppressant pills. Enjoy the satisfying, delicious diet that controls your appetite naturally, reduces food cravings, and helps burn fat faster.
