Green Coffee Supplements?

Hi,

Has anyone tried any of the green coffee supplements? They were once recommended on Dr. Oz, and I'm just curious if anyone has had a great amount of weight loss with them. I'm a stay at home mom with two little ones so I need a boost for energy, and a deterrence from eating. Please share your feedback on this or any recommended ones.

    There are no magic supplements for fat loss. Green coffee is very over-hyped and overpriced IMO. Save money and just drink coffee, which is amazing.

    The most effective and least dangerous (in terms of risk/reward ratio at least) thermogenic/appetite suppressant is still ye olde EC stack (ephedrine+caffeine), but appropriate dosage is very important, and abuse/addiction is a concern (as with any stimulants).

    Scam just like all the others. I got sucked in. Don't do it.

    Sounds absolutely disgusting. Black coffee is far better.

    My stepmother tried them and I believe they worked. She lost weight. More people on here would be "open" to them if they weren't in pill form and were touted as a powder or something.

    If they worked....wouldn't everyone be using them, and there would be no obesity?

    Many people here are smart enough to recognize ineffective weight loss scams and avoid them regardless of how they're packaged and/or what quack/snake oil salesman promotes them.

    I have been using it along with diet and exercise and have found it to be effective in curbing appetite. It's not coffee or a drink, it's a pill. It's made from raw coffee beans whereas coffee is made from roasted beans. It is supposed to inhibit the release of glucose in the body and increase metabolic process. I think it's helpful for me.
