Update.

 So, due to a particularly bad  storm a while back my wifi has been down for over two weeks, which is a massive pain in the arse. No downloaded T.V shows, no Skype, no email  = No life.

 Anyway the coffee experiment has been going well, after nearly three weeks I've lost three kilos, which is about half a stone. Also due to the heat and humidity I haven't done any exercise or physical training, mostly just lazing around the house reading (no bloody internet).

 My first impressions with the coffee were good, it tastes like a fairly nice, strong coffee. There is also a bit of sweetener added which is fine by me as I prefer my coffee with sugar.

 After about ten minutes you can really feel the kick from it, I'm not sure if it's the caffeine or one of the "natural" ingredients giving the buzz, but something is definitely raising my heart rate. 

 After a cup in the morning I don't eat anything and stay hunger free until lunchtime, in fact even then you can just have another sachet and feel full until dinner time.

The product claims to have "fat burning" properties but I'm not quite sold on this, I think most of my weight loss has been due to the loss of appetite I experienced. Over the past three weeks I have definitely eaten less, usually skipping at least one meal a day which would explain the loss. I'm don't think this particularly good for me, and sometimes I feel a bit run-down and lacking energy, but a quick slurp of my power coffee soon puts some gas in the tank.

 One problem I have found is drinking it in the evening does affect my sleep, maybe it's just the caffeine or one of the other "herbal" ingredients, but I would recommend not drinking it after four or five pm. I will have another update in a week or two and by then I should have reached my target. I don't think I'll keep using it long term, but as a quick weight loss product so far it's been a success.

Thai diet coffee

King Coffee Plus

To start with, I'm not obese, but after having a nice long break over Songkran and enjoying lots of great food, beer and whiskey I have put on a few extra pounds.

 I weighed myself outside the 7/11 today and the results were disappointing but not surprising. 74 kilos is big for me, I have skinny arms and legs and any extra fat is unfortunately not distributed  evenly around my body. No, it sits stubbornly around my gut, creating annoying love handles, and a pert beer belly.

 So, the plan is to lose about three or four Kilos, about half a stone. I would usually accomplish this with diet and plenty of exercise, but the temperature where I live is 38-40c everyday, rendering any exercise attempts futile. To reach my goal I will first try King coffee Plus, my wife has used it before with good results, I'm hoping the same will happen for me.

 I have no idea what the coffee contains, although the health food shop assured me "only natural" and tomorrow I begin the program. I am to start with one sachet in the morning and after a few days add one at lunchtime. I don't hold out too much hope, but I'm willing to give it a try. 

 I'll try and post every few days on my progress or lack of, I also plan on adding some pics of my wobbly areas so you can see any results yourself.
