Expert Answer

Exercise and a healthy diet! It seems obvious, but it works. What may be less obvious is that it's generally better to eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day. It's better to eat 3-4 smaller meals than 2 big ones. Remember to always eat breakfast 1-2 hours after waking up and work on meal prepping if you tend to forget to make a meal every now and then.

All black coffees are the same in that they will not contain calories. So pick the coffee bean flavor you prefer.

For most people, the best time to drink black coffee is in the morning. Drinking coffee late in the day can interfere with your sleep.
