JAKARTA - In overcoming abdominal fat or visceral fat, there are several ways that can be done. One of them that is recommended by nutritionists is to drink coffee with good rules.

Quoting Eating Well, on Thursday, December 18, 2025, researchers have linked coffee consumption to fat loss in the body. This is seen in a study in 2025 of more than 45 thousand people.

The study found that those who drank an average of 1.7 cups of coffee had significantly lower visceral fat, compared to those who did not drink coffee.

The caffeine content in coffee can increase energy, which is one of the keys to losing belly fat. Experts believe that caffeine's ability to increase metabolism is the main reason why it can promote weight loss.

In addition, coffee is also rich in antioxidants. Chlorogenic acid and cafestol found in coffee are two antioxidants that can help reduce belly fat.

"Studies have shown that chlorogenic acid can reduce belly fat, weight, and waist circumference," says nutritionist Beth Conlon, Ph.D., RDN.

Not only that, the caffeine in coffee can also stimulate the nervous system and help reduce appetite. In this way, you will not overeat, so that not many calories enter and can reduce belly fat.

However, keep in mind that the coffee in question can help overcome abdominal fat is black coffee, not coffee with the addition of other ingredients that are high in sugar and fat. In addition, its consumption is also avoided before bedtime and limited to a maximum of 4 cups a day, so as not to interfere with other body functions.
