Conclusion

There is evidence from several empirical studies suggesting that coffee may help people control body weight. Our objective was to assess the effects of caffeine, caffeinated coffee, and decaffeinated coffee, both alone and in combination with 75 g of glucose, on perceived hunger and satiety and related peptides.We conducted a placebo-controlled single-blinded randomized 4-way crossover trial. Eleven healthy male volunteers (mean age, 23.5 ± 5.7 years; mean BMI, 23.6 ± 4.2 kg/m(2)) ingested 1 of 3 test beverages (caffeine in water, caffeinated coffee, or decaffeinated coffee) or placebo (water), and 60 minutes later they ingested the glucose. Eight times during each laboratory visit, hunger and satiety were assessed by visual analog scales, and blood samples were drawn to measure 3 endogenous peptides associated with hunger and satiety: ghrelin, peptide YY (PYY), and leptin.Compared to placebo, decaffeinated coffee yielded significantly lower hunger during the whole 180-minute study period and higher plasma PYY for the first 90 minutes (p < 0.05). Caffeine in water had no effects on hunger or PYY. Caffeinated coffee showed a pattern between that of decaffeinated coffee and caffeine in water. These findings suggest that one or more noncaffeine ingredients in coffee may have the potential to decrease body weight. Glucose ingestion did not change the effects of the beverages.Our randomized human trial showed that decaffeinated coffee can acutely decrease hunger and increase the satiety hormone PYY.

Yeah, when I’m between meals and have a craving, the taste of black coffee does tend to kill my appetite. But if you’re going to put sugar or milk in it, you might as well opt for a healthy snack instead.
I’ve been drinking more decaf recently. I drink one cup regular coffee per day and otherwise decaf.

Basically all I have in my house are fresh veg, hamburger and frozen salmon…salt and pepper. I’ve gotten used to it.
I used to drink decaf. It never had that effect on me.
Coffee isn’t benefiting me in any way not even energy. Might as well try decaf. I just like the taste.
Make sure to get decaf that hasn’t been treated with solvents like methylene chloride or ethyl acetate, these are poisonous.
There’s a safe decaf method that uses carbon dioxide to remove the caffeine; Starbucks’ decaf beans are processed with that method. There are others though.
