YOUR morning coffee may have the power to get you out of bed in the morning - but it could also be making it more difficult for you to lose weight.

Top nutritionist and fitness blogger Graeme Tomlinson has revealed that your choice of cup of joe could be adding over 15,000 calories to your monthly diet.

Despite this, he says you can still incorporate coffee into a healthy diet, as long as you make the right choices.

He says: "There is nothing wrong with consuming cappuccinos, lattes or caramel macchiatos.

"But if one is persistently bemoaning lack of progress regarding composition, reduction of such beverages offer a very easy opportunity to support a caloric deficit without upheaval of habitual eating habits."

In particular, Graeme highlights thatcoffee in its purest form - such as a large americano - contains no calories whatsoever.

Whether its coffee, a biscuit or any given food, seemingly insignificant alternations to minuscule parts of overall diet are likely to be the tweaks that finally deliver significant results

However, if you opt for a caramel macchiato you would be consuming 250 calories, and if you have 14 of these a month that's 3500 calories.

Similarly, a large caffe latte contains 290 calories, and 14 of these a month would total up to 2660 calories.

And a large cappuccino contains 120 calories, and you'd be drinking 1680 liquid calories a month if you had 14.

Graeme points out that simply picking an americano over a macchiato, latte or cappucino could make a huge difference to your diet and maximise your weight loss results.

He says: "Selection of alternative coffee inclusive drinks at lower (or no) caloric cost can ensure that one still gets their fill of daily coffee whilst also getting more progress in their compositional goal."And while it may be difficult to ditch that creamy coffee at first, small changes can ultimately make a big difference.

Graeme adds: "Whether its coffee, a biscuit or any given food, seemingly insignificant alternations to minuscule parts of overall diet are likely to be the tweaks that finally deliver significant results.

"But more importantly, make the results last forever."

NHS tips for weight loss success

The NHS has shared their three key tips for weight loss success:

Lots of useat and drink more than we realise and do little physical activity. The result is often weight gain.

To lose weight, we need to change our current habits. Thismeans eating less even when eating ahealthy, balanced diet and getting more active.

Fad dietsand exercise regimes that result in rapid weight loss are unlikely to work for long, because these kinds of lifestyle changes can't be maintained.

Once you stop the regime, you're likely to return to old habits and regain weight.

Graeme's comments come after scientists found a cup of coffee can help the body burn calories faster.

They say it stimulates "brown fat", which burns calories to generate body heat.

Professor Michael Symonds, from the University of Nottingham, said theirs is the first study to show how coffee can affect brown fat in humans.

He said the breakthrough could help tackle the obesity crisis.

"Brown fat works in a different way to other fat in your body and produces heat by burning sugar and fat, often in response to cold," he explained.

"Increasing its activity improves blood sugar control as well as improving blood lipid (fat) levels and the extra calories burnt help with weight loss.

"This is the first study in humans to show that something like a cup of coffee can have a direct effect on our brown fat functions."
