I recently saw an episode of Dr. Oz that was explaining about the green coffe bean pills. We have some, and have been taking them. I'm noy 100% sure that they are doing any good. Has anyone else trid these, and if so, how did you take them and did they help you loose Weight?

    Bah I want green coffee beans to do some of my own roasting... but can't do that from them in pill form.

    Oz is an effective marketer... he'd have been a snake-oil salesman if he were from that era :P Pay enough for your spot on tv anyone can get on there, just because he's ON tv doesn't mean he knows all.

    Agreed! Didn't he promote Raspberry
    Keytones too?!
    I've tried enough of these products to know it all comes back
    to eating right and exercise. Dang!

    Thanks....I'm all too familiar with "TV" since I work in the industry, But I did do some online research before I bought them. Based on that, we started to take them. I'll give it a month or so, but I agree whole heartedly that eating right is THE best way....I'm counting the calories each day, and THAT alone is the main reason why I've lost...Thanks again !

    :wink: I have been trying them for 2 weeks and I see a somewhat change. I take 2 a hour before my meal if I remember or wait 15 min. than eat if I forgot. I get mine at Whole Foods. Did research other than TV or magazines, couldn't find any bad side effects. A friend has been taking them for 8 weeks and has seen a 7.4 pound decrease. He is fit and has some tummy skin he wants help with. He exerecises 4 times a week also. My DR. said it was okay with him to try, he did blood work and said he would re-run the blood test after I have been taking it for 8 weeks. Take care.......
