 Hannover, Germany (IINA) - Researchers have discovered recently that a regular daily intake of two to four cups of coffee helps dieters keep flab at bay once they have shed the unwanted fat, Mail Online health news reported.
The high caffeine content seems to help the body resist the gradual weight gain that defeats so many slimmers. Other caffeinated drinks have the same effect, according to the research team at Hannover Medical School in Germany. Studies suggest it can have a variety of health benefits, including combating liver disease and type two diabetes.
Earlier this week, research from the US suggested it could even help people live longer. The latest evidence, published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, shows a couple of cups of coffee a day could help millions of dieters stay trim once they have achieved their desired weight.
Researchers studied the consumption habits of 494 men and women who were taking part in a weight loss study.
They found that successful slimmers consumed significantly more coffee – two to four cups a day on average – than those who lost no weight or lost it and then put the pounds back on.
Researchers said combining two to four daily coffees with regular exercise would be even more effective at keeping the weight off.
In a report on their findings, they said: ‘Caffeine consumers have a lower body mass index than those who consume little or no caffeine.
‘And high caffeine intake has also been linked with weight loss.
‘Our research suggests it might also support maintenance of that weight loss.’
