Drinking strong coffee before exercising increases fat-burning, new study finds

Be interested to see a percentage increase in fat burning (I.e. is it worth nailing a coffee or not if you are a big fat coder looking to shift a few pounds)

Exercise is great for general fitness and can give you a slight edge in a calorie deficit but has little impact on weight loss in general. If you want to lose weight by far the easiest and most effective thing you can do is to get your diet under control.

Easy is the wrong word. Getting your diet under control is the hardest part of losing weight. Most effective, absolutely. Simple, yes, easy, no.

I’ve always found exercise to be a motivator for getting diet under control. Periods of low exercise correlates with bad eating. Building back the routine makes shifting diet much easier.
