Coffee increases adrenaline hormone levels, which improves exercise performance & endurance, making workouts more effective in terms of fat burning.

Some studies says that caffeine can suppress appetite for a while, which may help manage calorie consumption, but effects vary by individual.

Caffeine signals the nervous system to release fat from fat cells, especially during exercise, allowing the body to use it as fuel.

Unsweetened black coffee contains almost zero calories, making it a smart pre-workout drink or snack replacement, if you skip the sugar and cream.

Drinking coffee before a workout and the first thing in the morning maximizes the metabolism boost associated with it. Avoid consumption at night, this will disturb sleep and inhibit fat loss.

Too much caffeine can lead to jitteriness, digestive issues, and disrupted sleep. Stick to 1–2 cups daily and consult a doctor if you have any health conditions.
