How Coffee Bean Extract Can Make Your Desired Weight A Reality

By Karl Holling


Since it was featured in the Dr. Oz Show, much hype has been created in green coffee bean extract. The claims are all the same - the extract can promote weight loss, often without having to change one's diet and engaging in any physical activity. So with all this buzz surrounding this new magic weight loss supplement, how can you be sure that this is not just another overhyped product?

It is quite known that caffeine has something to do with losing weight, but the thing is, it is not the case with green coffee bean extract. Since green coffee is not roasted, it maintains a high level of the substance known as chlorogenic acid and it is the real deal when it comes to helping people lose weight. Chlorogenic acid is what reduces the body's absorption of fat and glucose, which ultimately leads to weight loss.

Dr. Oz has conducted an experiment with 100 women and the results show that those who took the green coffee extract lost an average of two pounds. The experiment was conducted within two weeks and the dosage for the extract was at 400mg. A similar study was also presented at the American Chemical Society and results show an average of 17 pounds lost over a period of 22 weeks.

It is important to note that Dr. Oz refrained from recommending any particular brand of green coffee bean extract. Instead, the doctor mentioned guidelines as to how to choose a quality product. One of them is that the amount of chlorogenic acid has to be at least 45% to be effective. Chlorogenic acid may also be referred to in other products as either Svetol or GCA (green coffee antioxidant).

Because of the buzz surrounding green coffee extract, it is not surprising why a lot of products have been sprouting all over the market today. The problem is that some products are of low quality and are just after your money. Always make it a point to read the labels, especially the list of ingredients. Quality products are those made from pure green coffee and does not contain additives or fillers.

The coffee bean extract should not have any extra amount of caffeine besides what it is supposed to contain naturally. A good benchmark would be to have just 20mg of caffeine for every 800mg of chlorogenic acid. At this rate, you get less than 20% caffeine compared to regular roasted coffee. Over indulgence with caffeine usually leads to increased heart rate, insomnia, nervousness, and restlessness.

When looking for green coffee extract on the market, you should be cautious about exaggerated claims on its efficacy. A reputable manufacturer should also be able to mention any possible side effects if the product is not used as intended. They should also be able to tell you how their product is made and will provide a clear list of ingredients used.

While it would be a great thing to simply take green coffee bean extract and see those extra pounds go away, it is not the best way to do it. It is still important to have a balanced diet, one that steers clear from processed foods and focuses on whole foods, especially fruits and vegetables. If you add in quality cardiovascular exercise to the mix, there's no reason not to get the body you've always wanted.
