The Link Between Weight Loss And Unroasted Coffee Beans

By Billie Schroedel


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.

The key to the fat-busting capabilities of green coffee bean extract lies with the substance known as chlorogenic acid. The roasting process is important in reducing the bitterness of coffee beans, but the amount of chlorogenic acid is being sacrificed because of it. Several tests have been conducted on this type of coffee extract and the results proved to be very satisfactory in weight reduction.

One thing that is quite noticeable in weight-loss supplements being sold these days is that quite a lot are actually made from green coffee bean extract. Since it contains chlorogenic acid, the bloodstream is able to delay the absorption of glucose and consequently cause absorption of fat to be reduced. When looking for a supplement, make sure it contains either GCA (green coffee antioxidant) or Svetol.

Another important thing is that the supplement should contain a minimum of 45% chlorogenic acid. Anything below 45% may not be very effective for weight loss. You should also take note of the dosage, which can be anywhere from 200mg to 800mg per serving. Based on the study conducted by the Dr. Oz research team, the recommended was 400mg and taken 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.

As for the side effects, supplements made with green coffee bean extract are said to be safe and free from any side effects. However, it is still important to remember that while its caffeine content may not be significant, taking it in large doses may cause some health problems. Taking diet supplements like this is generally not recommended for pregnant women or those with serious health problems.

As a final word, before you proceed with purchasing supplements made from green coffee bean extract, you should still aim to have a healthy lifestyle. This means that you should still not ignore having a balanced diet and adequate exercise. Of course you might lose weight without those, but the best way to lose weight and keep it off is if you eat quality food and burn those extra calories.
