The Worst High-Calorie Coffee Ingredient That Causes Weight Gain, Specifically in The Stomach. How Does This Ingredient Lead to Belly Fat? What Are Some Healthier Alternatives?
Added sugars
Taking coffee high in artificial sweeteners, syrup or sugar can trigger weight gain and belly fat accumulation. The excess sugars increase your calorie intake, which can make you add unexpected extra pounds. The high sugar content in the body can be too much for the liver to handle, making it convert the sugars to fat stored in the liver or abdomen, causing belly fat retention.
I recommend you substitute the added sugars in coffee with honey, coconut oil, butter, cinnamon, or cocoa powder. Taking sugar-free or unsweetened coffee is a healthier alternative too.
Toppings in coffee
Drinking coffee layered with dressing or topping ingredients such as sauces, sprinkles, and creams can contribute to belly fat. The toppings have excess calories and fats that can easily be stored in the abdomen as they are not fully metabolized, leading to visceral fat or weight gain. Swipe your sugary dressings with healthier options like roasted chicory roots and dandelion roots or take it plain for more health benefits and curb the risk of increased belly fat.
I believe that nutrition science is a wonderful helper both for the preventive improvement of health and adjunctive therapy in treatment. My goal is to help people improve their health and well-being without torturing themselves with unnecessary dietary restrictions. I am a supporter of a healthy lifestyle – I play sports, cycle, and swim in the lake all year round. With my work, I have been featured in Vice, Country Living, Harrods magazine, Daily Telegraph, Grazia, Women's Health, and other media outlets.
