Is Coffee Making You Fat?

Coffee can make you fat. I know. Some of you will want to block your ears at this
information. Sorry, it’s just part of our biochemistry. Caffeine acts on the adrenal glands by stimulating the production of adrenalin.

When adrenalin is released, your blood sugar elevates to provide more energy, and your blood pressure and pulse rate rise to provide more oxygen to the muscles, which tense in preparation for action.

Your pupils also dilate to see more in less light, and your immune function stops firing as, from the body’s perspective, fighting infection is not essential at this unsafe point in time.

Whether your adrenalin production is the result of real or perceived stress, or simply the result of your caffeine intake, caffeine, via stress hormones and coupled with the response of your nervous system, can either lead you to slenderness or fat storage, because insulin—the fat-storage hormone—will firstly convert unused glucose from your blood into glycogen and store it in your muscles and what is left over will be converted into body fat. Let me explain this with the story of a client I’ll call Anne.
