"Menurut beberapa orang, mengonsumsi kopi baik untuk menunjang program diet karena membantu kita menahan rasa lapar. Benarkah demikian?"
"According to some people, drinking coffee good to support the diet program because it helps us withstand hunger. Is this correct?"
Not really. According to Dr. Inge Permadhy, MS, SpGK, nutrition specialist from the department of Cipto Mangunkusumo, Jakarta, caffeine in coffee functioning blood vessels dilate and increase the body's metabolism to burn fat. However, it does not mean coffee is able to lose weight. The first reason, we can’t measure how many cups of coffee to be drunk to be an effective fat-burning process. Another reason, there are side effects if you drink too much coffee.
Caffeine increases the production of acid in the stomach, causing indigestion. In addition, we usually drink coffee with sugar added. This would negatively affect blood sugar levels.
The effect of coffee could actually starve does not apply to everyone. Relationship has not been proven scientifically. The most logical explanation is the sugar in a coffee substitute in the body's glucose needs. In some people, the impact doesn’t lead to hunger. However, it can also be caused by the habit and the feeling of drinking coffee if it's already been filled. Instead of drinking coffee, I advise you to exercise if you want to go on a diet.
