Does coffee help suppress your appetite?

Good afternoon my fellow MF blog readers, what a beautiful day today am I right? Anyways, I was scrolling through my DM’s and a fellow reader asked if “MF Coffee would help supress [their] diet” and I just thought to myself, “what a great question” so without further ado let’s get into it.

As you many of you know already a cup of MF Coffee will have a chemical called caffeine in it which is the stimulant of the Central Nervous System. When taken in moderation, it can really do wonders for your body.

Caffeine is an effective ergogenic which improves athletic performance. It spares muscle glycogen and delays fatigue. Coffee also contains chlorogenic acid. This is where the discussion gets interesting because chlorogenic acid helps in controlling hunger pangs. So, the hypothesis that coffee can suppress your appetite does have an element of truth in it.

There are three hormones around the stomach area of the body.  Ghrelin, Leptin & Peptide YY. Ghrelin is an appetite stimulating hormone which is found mainly in the stomach. It’s responsibility is to increase food intake and actually stimulates appetite. Which is not what our MF Blog reader wants. The next hormones are Leptin and Peptide YY. These two are slightly different as they’re appetite controlling hormones instead of being stimulating.

Leptin is a hormone, synthesized primarily in fat cells, which has been shown to decrease food intake and increase energy expenditure.

Peptide YY is secreted by the cells of the large intestine. Peptide YY lowers appetite and food intake by acting on neurons in the “hypothalamus” to help people feel full. Now, you guys don’t need to know what hypothalamus means however what you DO need to know is that it aids towards the argument that coffee does indeed suppress ones appetite.

Decaffeinated coffee (which will be coming soon to mfproducts.co.uk) , caffeinated coffee (which is readily available to buy right now), and caffeine will decrease hunger, Ghrelin, and increase Ghrelin and Peptide YY.

Studies have shown that there is more success in reducing your appetite with decaffeinated coffee due to the fact that when it is consumed, a turn off signal is sent directly to the brains desire hub for eating or drinking which consequently suppresses the need to consume more.

To conclude, the need to eat CAN be solved with a cup of MF Coffee. It is indeed possible. This most likely due to coffees ability to stimulate different chemicals and hormones in the body.
