Hi all,
I've recently started a mostly seafood diet and started taking the Green Coffee Bean extract pills. Has anyone does any of these things and found any results?

    The only thing the green coffee pills will make lighter is your bank account. A sensible diet with exercise and a calorie deficit us how to lose weight. There is no magic pill.

    Yep, calorie deficit and clean eating, and exercise will get you there, there is no quick fix.

    I've never heard of green coffee extract - what is it supposed to do?

    Seafood is very low in fat, high protein - although I heard it has high cholesterol levels? Watch that :)

    Why not just eat foods you like in smaller amounts that fit a reasonable calorie deficit? Green Coffee Bean Extract is a waste of money.

    Green coffee bean does nothing. The great quack Dr. Oz suggests it and people went crazy with no evidence it does anything.

    Cholesterol in foods isn't bad. Fats aren't bad. Eating a low fat diet is not necessary for weight loss because your body actually needs good fats.

    What types of seafood are you eating? Are you also eating vegetables? What led you to these diet choices?

    High cholesterol is a factor in heart disease is it not? Hardly say that is not bad.

    The link between blood cholesterol and dietary cholesterol is limited.

    More recent studies have shown that the cholesterol in foods has little to no impact on your blood cholesterol numbers. What are your different numbers? It's not so much about just having high cholesterol any more. What is your HDL, LDL, and Tri numbers? What is your ratio? The biggest thing to do? Be a healthy weight and exercise. People with 'low' cholesterol die from heart disease just like people with high cholesterol do.

    Watch the green coffee bean extract. I've had friends who took it and wound up gaining weight in the end.

    That link is from 2010. The references stated are the International Dairy Federation and AlphaGalieo who are distributors of research. By the looks of it, it is a bias piece of research to promote dairy. You still have a lot to learn about your sources.

    ETA: You can find almost anything to support any style of eating. Cholesterol is good, cholesterol is bad, carbs are bad, carbs are good, sugar is bad, sugar is good. The most important thing is to learn what is and isn't effective for YOU. Part of this process is frequent testing by a doctor if your family is at risk for high cholesterol. I eat lots of cholesterol, my family is at high risk, but due to my lifestyle my cholesterol levels are excellent. Don't demonize something when it isn't true for everyone. Yes, dietary cholesterol may cause problems in someone who already has high cholesterol, but they should know their levels and know what foods to avoid.

    These are all about eggs? The big debate on whether eggs have an impact on cholesterol levels?

    Thanks for the tips guys. Luckily I did not spend that much on the coffee beans but I only tried it because a coworker recommended it to me and she lost about 6lbs on it, might have been some other factor but yeah :)

    "Taken together these studies suggest that the association between dietary cholesterol and CHD is small, as most subjects can effectively adapt to higher levels of cholesterol intake. Nevertheless, lowering dietary cholesterol content might reduce the risk of CHD considerably in a subgroup of individuals who are highly responsive to changes in cholesterol intake."

    Yes exactly, so don't say cholesterol is not bad when we are not sure of her levels or whether she is in the group of people who is unaffected :)

    I'd say to play it safe, generally watch the amount of cholesterol in your diet.

    Your body makes more cholesterol than you eat. The US is one of the last western countries to still have a daily limit imposed.
    High cholesterol has mostly a genetic component.

    I would like to concur with the information below. I am earning a Master's in Epidemiology and we are often exposed to the various types of research at the university. It is difficult to shake previous notions of what constitutes a healthy diet or one that promotes good cardiovascular health. However, the research I have seen from the Nutrition Obesity Research Center at my school is def in agreement with the article posted.

    More recent studies have shown that the cholesterol in foods has little to no impact on your blood cholesterol numbers. What are your different numbers? It's not so much about just having high cholesterol any more. What is your HDL, LDL, and Tri numbers? What is your ratio? The biggest thing to do? Be a healthy weight and exercise.
