I have actually been taking it for about a month and a half now. But, I have also been eating well, gotten back to logging everything on here and exercising again. I have lost 3 - 4 lbs in the past month and my clothes are fitting better. So who knows if the supplement is helping or not? I decided when I finish the bottle I have, I won't buy anymore0

Why?
....if you're in the giving money away mood...there are a lot better ways to give it away.
Is doing it the hard way too much that you need a mental crutch like a placebo? Why even try to lose weight in the first place if you aren't ready for the commitment?0 -

no side effects at all. At first I was only taking one in the morning and not in the afternoon because I was worried it would keep me awake, but I started taking it in the afternoon also and haven't had any issues0 -
Fads usually do get a lot of hype.
Get rich quick schemes usually get a lot of hype.
Thin down schemes were diet and exercise aren't a part of the equation get a lot of hype.
What do these things have in common besides hype? They are a load of crap.0 -
Please give your money to charity instead.

green coffee beans is a stupid concept and you might as well take a caffeine pill.
The stuff that does work is usually illegal due to abuse
1 of them can be taken safely but I do not ever suggest it to anyone unless they have experience with powerful stimulants and do not have an underlying heart condition
the other 2
which is clenbuterol can cause cardiac myopathy. which is dead cardiac cells.
The other one is DNP which has been known to cause death.
So lets just say this.
Spending money on something to boost your metabolism is a little ridiculous when you could optimally lose weight just by eating less than body requirements and exercising.
If you want something truly worth it you should make sure you get adequate calcium because it is associated with optimal fat oxidation. Calcium is used for cellular transport0 -

Excellent idea. Maybe donate the money to your local food bank. Great cause and you'll get the same results!0 -
Tried it - and it was worthless - shame on Dr. Oz! I had expected better from him than to promote "junk". I lost all respect for him and now refuse to watch his show if he's going to promote gimmick products.0

He's been doing this for years. I'd be shocked if he promoted something that wasn't complete nonsense.0 -
Green tea is also a very powerful antioxidant, which we can all use. Free radicals damage tissues in our bodies daily that can lead to other more serious complications. So, for me there is a benefit to taking it regardless of the wight loss support.0

Thanks for your comments. I hear what your sayin, I also added a good muti-vitamin, one of the MEGA line from GNC. They're great. I used to take them and didn't even have to change when I was pregnant or lactating.
I have a medical backround am and familiar with ephedra and "phen" drugs and do not take them because of the cardiac risk associated them. I used to be an exercise junkie, loving the energy that came with it. Just trying to get going again!

Also, a mental crutch is called emotional support which can make all the difference to someone. If your not intersted in that then why are you participating here?0

Oh no! I hear ducks!

Whenever you see the Name Dr. Oz be very wary.0

It's just diet pill mental crutches are expensive. That's like saying "Well, I know wiring money to some random dude in some random part of the world won't REALLY make me lose weight, but it's emotional support, so that's okay."
Unless you really do want to wire money to a random person.
I can give you my info to wire money to. No problem.0 -
Just exercise and eat right0

So I don't look like a total jerk, there is a group on here called "supplement reviews" that might have more answers on it, just in case it gets ugly in this thread.

Yeah, thanks. I'm new to MFP and was suprised not by what some people had to say, but how they chose to say it :frown:0

You mean by one person calling it a mental crutch, which in no way is actually insulting towards you or your character, but rather an assessment you AGREED with concerning the product?0 -
I prefer methamphetamine.
I used dextramphetamine0 -
I tried Green coffee Bean extract and was also drinking 2-3 cups of coffee in the morning. Before I tried it, coffee never affected me. I developed heart palpitations. Went to have them checked and I had to spend the night in the hospital and had several tests done. Had insurance but still spent my own money to find out nothing serious. I cut out caffeine altogether and stopped taking them. They are gone now, so I must be sensitive to caffeine. My doc said there is no magic pill. Just watch your calories and exercise. Be careful.0

FYI, Dr. Oz states quite plainly that he doesn't endorse this or any other product. His name is sometimes used illegally, but it is 100% not his endorsement. Go check out his channel on Youtube or go to his facebook/twitter pages and you will see.
Coffee raises your metabolism, but only by some way out number like .000001 %. It's not bad to have a cup or two of java throughout the day, but thinking it is anything other than what it is is not healthy. Do a bit of research please.0 -

Hey, give me the money instead and I'll give you all the moral support you can handle.0 -
Dr. Oz jumps the gun again. From WebMD: "Weight loss. Some research shows that taking green coffee extract (Svetol, Naturex) 80-200 mg daily might cause modest weight loss over a period of 12 weeks. However, the research so far is preliminary and poor quality."
It also contains caffeine so consider that in your consumption of it or save your money and have a cup of coffee.0
