Well, coffee in itself doesn't really add calories to your body except if you are a Starbucks addict. However, caffeine induces desire for sweets.
Scientific studies show that caffeine hits a part of your brain and tells you to crave for sweets. So you'll want more sweets when you drink coffee... that's when you get fat.
So if you are trying to lose weight, stay away from caffeine.

I would suggest it doesn't induce a desire for sweets per se, but a desire for energy, so it could be any form of sugar, natural or artificial. Nothing wrong with sugar, its the lack of nutrition in the diet and over-consumption of calories vs exercise. Afterall sugar is the basic energy fuel for the body, which is why we measure blood sugar levels. Even fats are eventually converted into sugars.
