    I have done rasberry ketone and green coffee bean. I had lose weight with the rasberry ketone but not with the green coffee bean. I know others that have lost weight on both of them. Each person is different. What might work for one might not work for another. I say give them try and see for yourself. Make sure they don't have fillers.

    So, I bought the pure green coffee bean extract. Started taking 800mg twice/day and had absolutely no effect. No increase in energy, no weight loss and no side effects with poop. Does this stuff really work? Maybe for some people, but I am not that lucky.

    I wasn't lucky, but I found out that I was taking one with a filler. Make sure it has no filler in it.

    In response to ElisaGal123 post above this post about the sad sad quote given.

    This message quoted is so sad. Why would someone do this? Maybe because they are just plain angry, or feeling hopeless....depressed and felt compelled to share their dark dreary cloud?

    Understanding where our food comes from, how it reacts with your body; you will learn we are all 'victims' of obesity
    and bad health to the food industry. Our soils are so depleted of nutrients to fortify our crops, pesticides and genetic modification has had a negative effect of how our bodies metabolize our food. Meat, dairy, eggs poison our bodies,
    our minds, every day, never mind the horrible lives animals endure before they are murdered all becomes apart of
    our mind, body, and spirit after we eat it without good results.

    Going organic and vegan will help a lot of our health but it is still just as easy to be a fat vegan as it is to be a fat omnivore.
    The green coffee bean is what it is, derived from a 'plant'. So, just because it is encapsulated, doesn't mean it is
    a pill. It is a 'supplement'. It is pretty bitter to take without the capsule and most don't like this but with a little honey,
    or putting it into a smoothy helps get it down. It is also very healthy and good for you. I'm all for the natural process,
    and if Mother Nature has a solution, I am listening.

    is this a joke? i'm honestly beginning to think that if someone relies on a pill to lose weight then they don't deserve to lose it. Work hard. Have your own self-control rather than taking a pill that supposedly "curbs your appetite." Plenty of people on this site and other sites lose weight by exercise and self-control. Honestly. I've gotten over multiple plateaus on my own by changing up what I do. Yeah, it takes a little process of elimination work but it happens. If you're just gonna be lazy and take a pill you might as well not even try. Your magic solution won't work and you'll give up.

    This isn't directed to the OP, just the thread in general.

    I can appreciate how well you've done and the hard work it has taken for you to get to where you are. But, don't be so harsh in judging others who are just starting out on their path or have encountered road blocks and are looking for help. From what I've heard about any supplement that helps in weight loss...it is just an aid..never touted as a magic pill that you take and that's it. ..you still have to diet and exercise.. I think most people know that.

    the issue is that most people don't know that... that's why i get annoyed

    I have been taking it for about 1 1/2 weeks. I bought mine at Sprouts at $20 for a bottle of 90. I do not know whether I have lost any weight or not but I have noticed that it make you poop alot. No less than3-4 times a day for me. I have not noticed a energy boost but I was already taking B-12 daily. Anyway, Good Luck!

    I noticed that people arent answering the question. I would be frustrated if I sought answers and everybody decided to go on a tangent. Anywho....I bought this Friday and its Sunday and I feel a TREMENDOUS difference in my energy level. After I ate I always wanted to go to sleep but that is not the case anymore. I am full of energy now. This stuff does however, make you poop. Has anyone else noticed that? I dont have a scale so I don't know if I am losing weight but I feel great and for that reason Im sticking to it. I don't think this is the placebo effect because I used to DRAG *kitten*. I was so tired I had to take a nap everyday. I don't feel that way anymore. Good luck to you all :-)

    She asked for opinion - she got them

    She wanted an opinion from those who have tried it.

    Took them for 30 days and nothing changed... It was like Sensa- it did absolutely nothing.
    It was called pure health pure coffee bean extract- bought it was walmart for a 15 day supply $10.
    Right next to it was raspberry ketones- same thing Dr. Oz mentioned... Now I'm beginning to think he is loony!

    My aunt is doing the weight watchers weigh ins. After taking the coffee bean extract along with chia seed she was down 6Lbs in 8 days. It could just be water, but who knows. I say if you want to try it go for it. The health food store also sells them. If it works for you, then who's to judge. I just find it interesting how a site that is supposed to be so positive, has so many negative people!!!

    Dr. Oz is such a jerk. Really his show is like an infomercial. Doesn't he have enough money already? He could be doing a great public service by talking about how to be healthy and what health means. But instead he would rather hawk some goods for profit.

    I so agree. People are so negative here at MFP. Where did she get the Chia seeds?

    Agreed. He used to be more concerned with health when he was a guest on Oprah's show back in the day. Now that he has his own he's no good..

    I got them...dropped 5lbs in just over a weeks time...eating on ave 1900 cal per day leaning toward protein more than carbs and walking 2-3miles per day. Not working out. 1 cap 30min before breakfast 1 cap 30min before dinner. 64oz of water for the day too.

    I was stuck at 214-211 for the longest time since starting at 224.5 a year ago next month.

    My cousin has invested in a company that produces green coffee extract pills. She gave me a bottle to try... not sure about the weight loss component, she said a different dosage would be required, but as an energy boost they reminded me of taking green tea pills. Apparently the green instead of roasted aids in quicker release or something, more pure I guess. Interesting anyways. I'd be interested in what you find here.

    I don't agree at all that people here are negative. Many have just discovered that there's no magic pill or shortcut for weight loss. It takes hard work and dedication, there's simply no way around that. If it was just a matter of popping a pill or drinking a magic potion, we wouldn't have the obesity epidemic that we currently have - everybody would ride the magical unicorn to the rainbow and be slim and healthy. To me, the negative people are the ones who get nasty and defensive when told that Dr. Oz's latest "miracle" is yet another load of B.S. and insist on throwing their money down the drain in pursuit of a shortcut to weight loss. If you ("you" generically, not "you" specifically) really want to try these worthless things, why even bother asking when the answer is always going to be the same - they don't work, the only thing they're designed to make you lose is money. The diet industry is a multi-billion dollar machine which depends on people staying fat and trying snake oil after snake oil in search of that magic pill that will melt the fat off them before their very eyes without having to raise a finger. If any of these supplements truly did what they promised, the FDA would be all over them in a heartbeat and the "supplement" would become a "medicine". Sorry if that sounds negative, but it's the truth.

    I drink one cup of coffee in the morning and it keeps me from being hungry for 3 hours. Same thing.

    Okay, well the other reason I ask is because Starbucks has introduced a new line of low-cal beverages with the extract in it. I drink coffee every day anyway and I'm more curious about the results of unroasted vs roasted.

    I tried those Refreshers you put in the water. I dont know about weight loss aspect of it but I did feel like I had more energy, plus they were tasty. I put the whole packet into 1.5L as 16oz makes it too concentrated.

    I think for some it might be a way to "jump start" the weight loss. Having immediate visible results is more motivating than 0.5lbs down. And for some, added energy is helpful when starting a new workout lifestyle.

    Even with the first and second seasons it was more interesting and geared towards health and now it is all gimmicks. He's always promoting this stuff in First magazine too.

    I was doing the Raspberry Ketone after Dr Oz recommended it and I was losing weight. Then I added in 7-Keto where it gave me a lot of energy and had me working out plus still losing weight and I lost 10lbs in 2-3 wks. I thought I stop that and started doing the HCG diet where I am lost/losing 15.5lbs with just the HCG alone. I decided to experiment and use the Green Coffee Bean Extract with the HCG diet and I thought I was going to lose 2-3 times more weight but I wasn't. It stalled my weight. I stopped taking the green coffee bean extract and continue with the HCG injections and I am still losing. I was 168lbs back in August 29, 2012 & am now 153.8 lbs today. I think once I reach my goal weight of 150 or 145lbs I will start with the Raspberry ketone, 7-Keto & Green Coffee bean extract again. I am almost there.:love:

    Dr. Oz DOES NOT promote any product. If you watch his show you would know this.

    The HCG didn't work for me. I haven't tried the raspberry ketone or green coffee bean. It's hard to find the right ones. There is so many fake ones.
