3. Drinking too much coffee
Coffee doesn’t give you energy directly — it actually triggers the adrenal glands to produce more hormones to keep you alert. While this can be useful when that extra boost is needed, using too much caffeine leads to an exhaustion of this system, referred to as adrenal fatigue.
A hormonally depleted body is more likely to hold on to weight, so keep the cups of coffee to a minimum, and give your body a break now and then.
