Intrigued? Read on to learn more about this potent drink and find out what proffee can do for you. <\/p>\n

What is proffee?<\/h2>\n

Proffee is so simple to make: \u201cJust take your morning coffee and mix it with a natural, sugar-free protein powder<\/a> or protein shake,\u201d recommends University of Maryland nutrition expert Pamela Peeke, MD<\/a>. \u201cWhile many high-carb breakfast foods promote fat storage,\u201cproffee makes it easier for your body to burn fat. It\u2019s a superb choice.\u201d (Click through to see our round-up of the best vegan protein powders and\/or a review in our sister magazine of the protein powders least likely to cause bloat<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Bonus: Proffee\u2019s protein helps override hormonal changes that slow fat loss, so women over 60 benefit most. \u201cI\u2019ve seen amazing weight loss results from proffee in the women I\u2019ve worked with!\u201d enthuses 10-Day Belly Slimdown <\/em>author Kellyann Petrucci, MS, ND<\/a>. <\/p>\n

How proffee speeds metabolism<\/h2>\n

Research shows that individually, the both coffee and protein can help\u00a0make you feel fuller<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0help improve levels of belly-flattening good bacteria in the digestive tract<\/a>.\u00a0Plus, it turns out that coffee and protein both have a thermogenic effect<\/a>, \u201cwhich means they create heat as they digest, burning extra calories,\u201d explains Dr. Peeke, who is also the author of the bestselling The Hunger Fix <\/em>and host of the popular HER Mind Body Life <\/em>podcast on iHeart Radio. Studies show that just digesting the protein in proffee\u00a0can temporarily fire up metabolism by 35%<\/a>, while coffee\u2019s caffeine boosts it\u00a0by as much as 29%<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On top of that, bonus doses of protein naturally shrink appetite by about 494 calories a day<\/a>, according to a\u00a0University of Washington study. As metabolism amps up, you\u2019ll also automatically eat less without even trying.<\/p>\n

How proffee helps increase fat burning<\/h2>\n

As proffee\u2019s caffeine wakes up the nervous system, \u201cit stimulates fat cells to release fat and make it available as fuel,\u201d explains Dr. Peeke. Meanwhile, amino acids in protein prompt the release of hormones that help do the same thing. So fat not only circulates in your blood, your proffee-boosted metabolism has an enhanced ability to burn it off.<\/p>\n

To maximize this benefit, \u201cuse the energy proffee gives you to do something physical \u2014 walk the dog, chase your grandkids, clean the house \u2014 then watch how well your system responds,\u201d suggests Dr. Peeke. Adds Dr. Petrucci, \u201cProffee gives you the potential to turn your body into a fat-burning machine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Proffee\u2019s impact on over-60 weight gain<\/h2>\n

The main culprit in age-related weight gain: Hormonal shifts that lead to muscle loss. \u201cMuscle is your fat-burning engine,\u201d says Dr. Peeke. \u201cThe less muscle you have, the less of a calorie-guzzler your body will be.\u201d Proffee to the rescue! While our body isn\u2019t as good at building and maintaining muscle as we age, we can compensate by giving it extra building blocks in the form of protein.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scientists say this is especially important at breakfast, when we tend to skimp. In one study,\u00a0older adults who upped their protein\u00a0intake at every meal saw dramatic improvements in muscle strength and overall health<\/a>, plus doubled weight loss compared to those eating typical amounts of protein.\u00a0(Click through for more on the power of morning protein to spur weight loss<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can go from a four-cylinder engine to an eight-cylinder one, especially if you make a little time for exercise,\u201d says Dr. Peeke. \u201cProffee is a fantastic tool.\u201d Dr. Petrucci, who created an instant proffee mix for her patients (Collagen Coffee<\/a> at DrKellyann.com), adds: \u201cThis drink stimulates fast and lasting fat loss.\u201d At age 60,\u00a0Mary Jo Liccar\u00a0is living proof.<\/p>\n
