Fasted black coffee first thing in the morning?
you're doing it wrong.
Coffee ingestion increases the metabolism, which is very friendly, if the metabolic support is adequate.
Metabolic stimulators must be matched with adequate blood glucose.

Coffee ingestion increases the metabolism, which is very friendly, if the metabolic support is adequate.
Metabolic stimulators must be matched with adequate blood glucose.
The common symptom of feeling anxious or shaky after coffee consumption is from a lack of support, which causes low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
When you drink coffee, the glucose in the bloodstream is used as the caffeine stimulates the body’s metabolism

Problems with coffee begin when our body cannot provide enough fuel for cells given the level of stimulation.
If too much stimulation occurs, a stress alarm is signaled that mobilizes resources to provide energy to cells.

Your goal is to avoid the stress response from inadequacy of blood glucose.
The first basic rule is to have coffee with a meal - delaying entry of the caffeine into the bloodstream providing a time-release type effect

Secondly, add sugar/honey/milk, or sugar or honey and cream to the coffee as an additional buffer against low blood sugar.
These step ensures that you are providing the fuel necessary to match the press of your metabolic gas pedal.

The small amount of carbohydrates involved in drinking your coffee with sugar will not have any meaningful effect on weight loss as long as you're not going overboard.
Thirdly, do not have coffee on an empty stomach or immediately upon waking.
At these times, you likely do not have the support needed to match the stimulation.
You want to avoid activating the stress systems, not encourage their activation through inappropriate choices.

For those who wake up and reach for the coffee first thing - this practice tends to prolong the effects of blood-sugar relating stress hormones which you want to decrease upon rising - not increase!
