Answer #1

coffee is a natural diuretic. It will make you have to pee a lot. A lot of people also poo a lot afterwards. I dont know why but its true.

As to whether it makes you lose weight..thats debatable. But it could, if you are watching what you eat and if it makes you have to use the bathroom a lot.

It can make you gain weight if you are putting too much fat and sugar into it. Use Splenda and skim milk if you need to. Other coffee drinks like lattees and fraps have way too many calories and fat in them and you will gain weight QUICK!

Answer #2

no coffee will not make you loose weight

Answer #3

No coffee just has caffeine, if you have to go to the bathroom straight away then your stomach might not be able to handle what your putting into it and will dispose of it as quickly as possible.

Answer #4

I’ve never herd of coffee making you lose or gain weight… :S
