I don’t know about you, but I need a cup of coffee to get me going in the mornings. A cup of joe also goes well with a piece of pie. But can coffee help you lose weight?

Could a cup of coffee a day help you burn calories? Maybe. A study from the University of Nottingham suggests drinking a cup of joe could activate fat-fighters inside your body. Coffee might help stimulate the brown fat cells that help us burn calories faster.

The research is still in the early stages because only nine people took part in the study. If they need someone to participate, I would be willing. Who wouldn’t want to lose weight with coffee!
