You could make the argument that by making you feel more alert (or giving you the will to live, in my case) you'd be more likely to be active thereby burning more fat and calories, but just as a chemical in and of itself it's not too effective for fat loss. For the insulin response, just check some stuff on pub med or read this somewhat lengthy article from John Berardi's site: http://www.precisionnutrition.com/coffee-and-hormones According to the article, chronic caffeine doesn't so much promote insulin as it may contribute to insulin resistance. Similar but different effects with the same hormone. Courtland, I haven’t recently researched this, but I do recall reading the fat burning effect of caffeine to be on the low side.

How does that square with its reputation as a lipolysis enhancer? Admittedly I only recall reading abstracts from peer reviewed literature on this latter point, but is it the case that caffeine's insulin response is so bad, to the point of outweighing its fat burning properties?
