Have You Thought About Coffee As A Fat-Buster?

By Katy Caporiccio


For many people, having a cup of coffee in the morning is a way to jumpstart their day, but did you know that there is a type of coffee that can also help you lose weight? If you take coffee beans that have not been roasted, what you get is green coffee beans. Green coffee bean extract has received much popularity as a weight-loss supplement after it was mentioned by Dr. Oz in his show.

So what makes green coffee bean extract so special compared with its regular counterpart? The thing that makes it special is its high amount of the substance called chlorogenic acid. Regular coffee beans have little to no chlorogenic acid particularly because of the roasting process it undergoes. Green coffee beans are extracted in its raw form and several tests show that it is very capable of weight reduction.

If you will observe the type of supplements being sold on the market today, a significant number are made from green coffee bean extract. Through the powers of chlorogenic acid, it is possible to keep glucose absorption to a minimum and this means less fat absorption as well. It is important to look for a supplement that contains GCA (green coffee antioxidant) or the brand name Svetol.

The study conducted by Dr. Oz on green coffee extract made use of people who took supplements containing at least 45% chlorogenic acid. It is not known whether the efficacy would be the same if something below 45% is to be used. Dosage can be anywhere from 200mg to 800mg. As for the Dr. Oz study, a dosage of 400mg was used and it was taken for a total of 3 times a day.

When choosing a weight loss supplement made with green coffee extract, make sure to check the list of ingredients. Stay away from any product that does not provide an ingredients list. There shouldn't be any hint of fillers or artificial ingredients in the label. If you find any ingredients in the list that sound weird or look off, it may be wise to call or email the manufacturer and ask about it.

To minimize risk, always buy from a reputable brand, particularly those that have been in the business for several years. Their product should have very good reviews and feedback from consumers. It is always a good idea to do some research on different brands and take note of the features, price, and reviews and then make an informed decision will work best with your situation.

When it comes to the side effects, it would be safe to assume that taking green coffee bean extract as intended would not yield any negative side effects. However, keep in mind that there is still some amount of caffeine in it and it is still possible to suffer some side effects if misused. Weight-loss supplements like this are generally not recommended for pregnant women and those with serious health problems.

Another thing to remember before you buy any green coffee bean extract is that there is still no substitute to having a balanced diet and proper exercise whenever you want to achieve ideal weight reduction. Diet supplements like this can indeed work, and you would be able to get results faster if you are consuming less calories than the amount you are burning when you exercise.
