Does caffein aid fat burning?

By itself, I don't know. When taken a little before a cardio workout, caffeine has the effect of giving a boost to you energy levels for a bit longer than without according to a report in a mens health issue a while ago. As it's a drug, it's effect is more of a trick than an actual energy boost. The energy has to come from somewhere. Once the ATP (stores expended after approx. 10 secs of maximal effort) and lactate (stores last about 30 secs) energy systems are exhausted the aerobic energy system has to not only supply all the energy being spent but restore the energy stores in the muscles used up by the other systems. My guess is that the cafffeine tricks the body into spending more energy which it has to pay back and therefore does aid in burning fat when linked with aerobic exercise.

NO. Caffeine will make your APPETITE even stronger.

NO. No. NO!

I dont think so, but I eat alot less because of the hype

In a way YES. One of a few ingredients that gives you energy to have a more intense workout and also helps speed up your metabolism which helps burn body fat rather than muscle. It is only one of many ingredients that is mixed in many whey protein shake supplements

Caffeine would stimulate the heart to pump faster feeding the muscles and requiring more energy (food) to move them, but only for a short period of time. Best thing to do is to cut back on fats, improve carbohydrates and proteins and exercise. Lower fat intake means energy that gets burnt off will be stored fat deposits which get reconverted back to carbohydrates and burnt away, making you lose weight

Well in a way yes it does. It will get your heart beating faster so your body works harder. I take 'Stacker 2' and at first i felt very jumpy and agitated but once you get used to the level of caffeine in them you have loads of energy. I find that i am loads more active during the day and when i go to the gym i am able to do more cardio then ever. Word of warning though- i have tried many 'diet' pills which claim to 'burn fat' - don't believe that. They give you more energy and the idea is you do more exercise and eat less as a result. Bit of hard work is involved I'm afraid!

Yes! A cup of coffee in the morning before exercising has been shown to boost the metabolism, and kick start the body, thus making the morning workout more effective.
