I came across this fascinating study summary today: https://www.precisionnutrition.com/research-review-coffee-hunger"While caffeine has long been used as an appetite suppressant, in this study it was decaffeinated coffee that resulted in significantly lower hunger levels and higher plasma levels of PYY than placebo (plain water) and the other caffeinated beverages."What is PYY ?Cells of the intestinal mucosa of the ileum and large intestine release the third hormone, peptide YY (PYY). PYY lowers appetite and food intake, perhaps by acting on neurons in the hypothalamus to help people feel full or satisfied.
>>76984831Pretty neat actually. Here's the link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23204152/I might start having a bit of decaf if it'll help me be a bit less of a fatass. I will say that decaf still has some caffeine, and it's enough to make you feel it still. I've been mostly off caffeine for 3 weeks now and even half a cup of black tea (~25mg) makes me feel jittery/anxious. I think decaf coffee typically has less than that, though.
>>76984831yeah it suppresses because it tastes like shit from a butt
time for some decaff green tea
>>76985201>t. butt shit taste expert
>>76984831Hmm that's quite interesting and i have definitely felt decaf working. Not even close to sugarless cacao though. That shit is insane when it comes to feeling satiated. I eat jaffa mousse multiple times a week with half powder/half milk+dash of sugar free orange flawouring.>>76985210Thanks for the idea. Never even knew there was decaff green tea. I miss it all the time until i drink it and feel like shit. Gotta check out if i can handle it without the caffeine.
>>76985218yeah nigga i eat white girl ass all day. them bitches love their taco bell
>>76985201there's literally no taste difference imo
>>76984831Holy shit I was wondering why I stop having cravings when I drink decaf but not when I drink regular coffee what the fuck
>>76984831Huh. Rare useful thread. Thanks. Normally I have a decaf as a treat here and there, but now I'll have one daily to aid in being less of a fatso. Thx.
Decaf is disgusting. Even good, high-tier brands, the decaf is like dirty dish water. It doesn't surprise me at all that decaf makes people lose their appetites.
>>76985416You are completely wrong.
>>76984831Ahhh, so caffeine isn't an appetite suppressant. It's some other compound in coffee. Cool, this is why it's not good to separate a compound by itself, it's unnaturally and the effects are unknown.
>>76986509>It's some other compound in coffee.It's because coffee actually contains fiber
>>76986204decaf with a bit of sweet coffee creamer prevents me from binging on shit all night kek
bump
>>76984831Without the caffeine, I can drink decaf all day and not have my fast food cravings.Not often a thread is so useful anymore, someone ought to bring it up in the fat loss general.
>>76986823Maybe but the interesting part is decaffeinated being better at suppressing appetite than regular coffee. It makes me believe that there is a component of coffee that increases appetite that gets removed through the decaffeination process.
>>76984831Fun fact, you don't have to use substances to suppress natural feelings that your body is giving you if you don't fuel it improperly to begin with.
>>76986823Not in any remotely significant amount even close to a single gram
>>76986509Caffeine is 100% an appetite suppressant but it increases metabolism so you get the hunger reactionary upswing when it tapers out of your system It's great for skipping one meal, not great at skipping 2
>>76992185Yea it's unusual for sure imagine chugging decaf is just as effective as GLP-1 without the cost and pharma and junk food both go outta business
>>76992201>faggot speak speaking faggot
>>76993003Sorry you're so upset.
>>76992201>Fun fact-Stopped reading right there. Fuck off faggot.
