Article: One of coffee's positive attributes is its ability to suppress your appetite. Try drinking some coffee if you find yourself craving food or going for seconds at meals. This may reduce your cravings until a meal or to get you through a long meal. Consider having decaf or half-caff if you don’t want to drink a full cup of coffee or its close to your bedtime. You should avoid caffeine within four to six hours of your bedtime, if possible. Drinking coffee too close to your bedtime can interrupt your sleep and promote weight gain. Although coffee can act as a diuretic, it won’t cause dehydration. Drinking coffee and water together throughout the day may help you stay fuller longer and avoid the temptation of eating. In addition, it can prevent you from drinking too much coffee and disrupting your sleep. Aim to get 3 liters of water a day if you are a man and 2.2 if you are a woman. Water is important to hydrate you, but hunger may also signal thirst instead of a need for food. Coffee may stimulate thermogenesis, which is a way the body makes heat and energy from digesting food. It can result in the loss of some extra calories.   By sipping coffee in conjunction with a workout, you may help your body burn more calories and fat. Drink about 200 mg of caffeine from coffee for optimal results with a workout. This would be the equivalent of a medium Americano or small regular brewed coffee from a place like Starbucks.

What is a summary?
Reduce cravings with a cup of coffee. Augment coffee with water. Sip coffee before a workout.
