Black coffee

When it comes to losing weight, a calorie deficit is key. No matter what you eat or what activities you do, you need to burn more calories than you consume. While regular coffee recipes may not significantly impact weight loss, some dieticians suggest drinking bullet coffee to help prevent frequent snacking and support weight loss goals.
 
I totally get the struggle with trying to manage snacking while aiming to shed some pounds. I've found that switching to healthier coffee options has been a game-changer for me. Instead of loading up on sugary drinks or snacks between meals, I've started enjoying black coffee and occasionally bullet coffee. It's helped me stay focused and avoid those mid-afternoon munchies. If you're curious, I recently stumbled upon this site https://hackcoffees.co.uk that has some cool tips on making your coffee healthier without sacrificing taste. Worth checking out if you're into experimenting with your brews.
 
Yes, black coffee can help with weight loss by boosting metabolism and suppressing appetite when consumed in the morning. For more effective weight loss, consider combining it with a healthy diet and exercise and wegovy. It is a med which will help you to achieve better results. U can buy wegovy online btw. So give it a try!

Coffee is a mild stimulate and cause the heart to beat faster. Faster heartbeat raises the body's metabolism .... (slightly).

If you're serious about losing weight, the best and longest lasting method is by adopting a life change. (Breaking old habits of snacking and overeating.)

The easiest way is to determine what your actual metabolic rate in calories is per day and eating a fixed, lessor amount to lose one pound per week.

Basically, 3,500 calories = 1 lb.

Losing one pound per week requires you to eat your calculated metabolic rate less 3,500 calories. (In other words, you must eat 500 calories less every day.)

The easiest way is to track every morcial of food you put in your mouth and keep a record. (Staying 500 calories per day below your metabolic rate.)

My Fitness Pal is the best website for information.

You can download the free version of the My Fitness Pal tracking application in your cellphone play store.

The paid version, $20 a month or $80 per year, and also allows you to use the database of foods by barcode or lookup. Along with a host of other features. (Being able to just focus your camera on a barcode and have the app recognize the product, and enter it, is a great aid.)


Start by clicking on "Take the quiz". It will give you a starting point as to how much calories you need to eliminate, to lose one pound per week.

I know $80 per year sounds high, but consider how much per year you spend on junk food ......

Supplements, ie vitamins, have been proven to be a waste of money.

According to AI search the following popped up:

Coffee can aid in weight loss through several mechanisms:

  1. Boosts Metabolism: Coffee contains caffeine, a stimulant that can increase your metabolic rate. A higher metabolic rate means your body burns more calories at rest, making it easier to lose weight12.
  2. Mobilizes Fat: Caffeine stimulates the nervous system, which sends signals to fat cells to break down fat. This process releases fatty acids into the bloodstream, which can then be used as energy, especially during exercise1.
  3. Suppresses Appetite: For some people, coffee can act as an appetite suppressant, helping them feel fuller and reducing the urge to snack between meals2.
  4. Low-Calorie Beverage: When consumed black, coffee is a low-calorie drink, which can help you maintain a calorie deficit necessary for weight loss2.
However, it’s important to note that coffee alone won’t lead to significant weight loss. A balanced diet and regular physical activity are crucial components of any weight loss plan3.
 
Respectfully, I absolutely disagree that "vitamins, have been proven to be a waste of money".

I take 1,000 mg of Vitamin D + a complete Vitamin B complex; every day. The VA tests for Vitamin D levels on each vet, during our annual examination. And after I had an ablation for aFib, the hospital reviewed all of my Rx and supplements and ordered me to include a Vitamin B complex supplement. Doctor said that I "could" add Vitamin C and ordered i discontinue one supplement (forget which one, interfered with one of the new medications they were putting me on.)

But a blank statement of taking vitamins "have been proven to be a waste of money" is horseshit.
 
What you said is horseshit.

If you eat correctly, workout every day, you should not need supplements, the only supplement you might need if you live in a mostly cloudy area and don't spend time outdoors, and are an older person is D3 supplement that's it, but taking too much D can result in high calcium in the blood, so that has to be closely monitored.

Here are the facts from John Hopkins:
  • An analysis of research involving 450,000 people, found that multivitamins did not reduce the risk for heart disease or cancer.
  • A study that tracked the mental functioning and multivitamin use of 5,947 men for 12 years found that multivitamins did not reduce the risk for mental declines such as memory loss or slowed-down thinking.
  • A study of 1,708 heart attack survivors who took a high-dose multivitamin or placebo for up to 55 months. Rates of later heart attacks, heart surgeries, and deaths were similar in the two groups.
Those are the facts, you can laugh all you want, but I take the word of John Hopkins Medical University before I will nuts on the internet and TV trying to sell supplements.

There are exceptions, like the Vit D3 thing I mentioned, but also the exception is supplemental folic acid for women of child-bearing potential, Appel says. “Folic acid prevents neural tube defects in babies when women take it before and during early pregnancy. That’s why multivitamins are recommended for young women.” And some people cannot extract certain vitamins and minerals from foods that they eat thus taking a supplement might be important, but a blood test will show that.

But for the vast majority of the population I don’t recommend other supplements, If you follow a healthy diet, you can get all of the vitamins and minerals you need from food.

By the way, I haven't ever taken any vitamin supplements in my entire 73 years of life, and all my blood tests, which are now required when you collect social security, are all good.

There are no requirements for blood tests to receive Social Security. You may be required to have a special medical examination or tests, before we can decide whether you qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments, but not for regular Social Security benefits. Also there are no requirements for Medicare. There is an annual Wellness exam that you can voluntary take, my wife and I take one every year, but there's no blood test required (unless your doctor is monitoring you for a specific medical condition.) However it has nothing, whatsoever to do with Social Security.

Keep in mind that I stated that the requirement to maintain Vitamin D levels was with the VA, not Social Security or Medicare. And Vitamin D levels appear on the blood test paper given to me by the VA. If I remember it correctly, they started this a few years ago, think is was around 73 or 74 at the time.
 
I checked what you said, and you are correct, SSI doesn't require it, but my Aetna supplemental medical insurance does...sort of though, and it's not to keep the insurance going but they do send reminders to have a physical done once a year.

However Medicare does have an optional annual in-home wellness check which I found to be very intrusive and told them so, they backed off on us on that, they did one home study and one is enough, we had no concerns for them to be worried about or correct us on, so there is no more need for them to come out every year in my opinion.

The annual physical optional requirement doesn't bother me though, I think it's wise to make sure all is going well.
