Has anyone used this? I have seen it feature on dr oz as potential for weight loss, but don't know of anyone actually using it.

    Dr. Oz is a quack pedaling anything he thinks will help make him a buck. Save your money.

    This is only my 2nd day taking it, but I have not had any side effects. But have not taken it long enough to form an opinion either way. I heard about it from a friend and figured it wont hurt to try LOL

    Both myself and my husband tried green coffee bean extract . It didn't do anything that exercising and a good diet won't do. Save your money!
  • Just one more "magic pill" in the endless lineup of money-generating garbage. Shame on Dr. oz for promoting this crap! IMHO

    This! If Dr. Oz says to do it then run the other way as fast as you can. Eat right, exercise - quit looking for a magic pill.

    100% bunk.
  • OK, well I'm 58 yrs. old and always had a hard time to lose weight. When I start a strict diet & exercise, I usually lose 5 lbs. per month which is good for me. My metabolism has always been slow therefore I thought I'd give the Green coffee bean extract a try. So far, for me, it has made a difference. The Green coffee bean extract seem to be helping to boost my metabolism. I've lost 5 lbs in 2.5 weeks and I'm not doing anything different. I am dieting & exercising the same as I always have and the pounds are coming off easier. It's been encouraging. I've only used it for a short time so we'll see if it will help me gain my goal.
  • Thanks for input. I am not looking for a magic pill. Just wanted to see if this supplement worked and was a good adjunct to diet and exercise.

    I was already losing weight at about 1 lb a week when I tried it. I went through 3 bottles and noticed NO difference. :(
