Obesity is a global health concern characterized by excessive accumulation of body fat, leading to adverse metabolic and cardiovascular outcomes. Lifestyle changes, such as altering diet and increasing physical activity, are key strategies for managing obesity. Additionally, caffeine has been proposed as a useful tool for weight loss and weight maintenance. Caffeine, a naturally occurring stimulant found in coffee, tea, and various beverages, has been investigated for its potential effects on metabolism and energy balance. These elements are believed to counteract the reduction in metabolic rate that happens during weight loss and may increase energy expenditure. Through thermogenesis, fat oxidation, caffeine can improves weight maintenance and sparing fat free mass. This article offers a thorough overview of the mechanisms by which caffeine affects obesity regulation, based on evidence from both preclinical and clinical studies. It also explores the role of caffeine consumption as part of a comprehensive strategy for managing obesity. By elucidating the mechanisms of action and summarizing the current evidence, this article aims to contribute to the understanding of caffeine's potential role in combating the obesity epidemic.
