Does caffeine prevent weight loss?

If you are drinking 3-4 cups of milk-based coffee with sugar at your office desk, then yes, it will prevent weight loss due to the liquid calories. Switch to simple black coffee or green tea to save time and calories.

With thyroid, weight loss is already a slow process. If caffeine messes with your sleep, it can disturb your hormone levels further. Make sure to get your TSH levels checked regularly and consult your doctor.

Caffeine actually helps weight loss by boosting your energy for workouts and slightly increasing metabolic rate. It only prevents progress if you are consuming high-calorie sugary coffee drinks.

At my age, losing weight is already a monumental task, coffee or no coffee! I don't think my morning cup of tea is the culprit; it is my complete lack of willpower around evening samosas.
