Anyone heard of this?

Does this really work? My mother says she's lost 7 lbs in 4 months, but I'd like to know if anyone else has had experience or knowledge of it.

Thanks!

    there are 50 pages of search results on MFP already for this subject.

    - click "search" just above this thread
    - type in "green coffee bean extract"
    - read any or all of the search results

    it's a topic that has been posted many, many times.

    A good diet and weekly exercise works. Green coffee bean extract is just another fad going around. No offense, Dr. Oz's information should be taken with a grain of salt, too.

    Diet scam. And Dr. Oz is a quack, pimping products he's paid to endorse.

    Really? Just use the search button. There were like three topics posted on this yesterday. It does not work. What you're mother has experienced is a placebo affect. She thinks it's working because Dr. Oz told her it would. In reality, she's just eating less or moving more. Nothing else to it. And anything Dr. Oz promotes is pure crap. He just wants to promote anything that will put money in his pocket. Ever notice how he always has the next big thing in weight loss but you've never heard about it from anyone else? And every single show has something to do with some kind of pill you can take to lose weight. How can there be so many that work? Dr. Oz is a fraud.

    Sorry I didn't do my "research" before asking! LOL I figured that this forum was the first place I could start.

    Anything claiming to be a miracle drug is not.
    A lot of snake oil is sold to people that think they can get something for nothing.
    Eating right and moving one butt a bit costs a lot less. But it actually requires one to make an effort to change one's patterns. Change is what so many try to avoid. Marketing agencies make $billions pitching products to people who would rather spend money than make changes to their lives.

    HAHA...Newbie mistake. ;) You will learn very quickly that there are some "emotional" topics on this forum. To be nice, Dr. Oz is seem as Satan in the flesh around here.

    I agree. He doles out so much information that basically it's overload. Today it's this, tomorrow it's something else.

    I think some of the replies were a little rude! I believe this is what the forums are for. So what if 3 other people asked about it yesterday. Could you have done a search? Sure but obviously you didn't think of that first. Relax people, give the lady a break! For those being helpful, thanks, that is what this is all about!

    reminding you to search for previous threads is a valid response. all of those threads exist and are full of exactly the sort of feedback you asked for.

    so you're saying that somebody should spend an hour or two summarizing all of those previous threads and then post the results here, for the OP, so that she doesn't have to do any work whatsoever to get the answer to her question?

    when you need to research something in a library, do you go to the librarian and expect her to give you all of your answers for you? or do you expect the librarian to point you to the bookshelf full of books where the answers can be found? why is an internet forum with thousands and thousands of threads any different than that?

    If coffee made you think I'd be super scrawny by now. Alas.... they will make you pee a lot though, and if you're prone to water retention I suppose that could be helpful.

    If there were a pill that made you lose weight, there'd not be a fat person left in America. There are lots of us fat people in America. The pill does not work. Save your money, your motivation, and invest in an calorie deficit lifestyle.

    I am currently taking the green coffee bean and it has been working for me. I have lost 9 lbs in just over 2 weeks.

    it's the placebo effect and you're losing water. you can't lose 9lbs in 2 weeks unless you have a calorie deficit of 2250 calories per day. it's against the laws of physics and physics applies to everybody the exact same way.

    I am currently taking it. I don't know if it is really helping me lose weight, but I have lost 13 lbs. since Jan. 28th. I have more energy and I do not get hungry between meals. Since it is keeping me from getting hungry between meals, it is worth every penny.

    I've lost 14 lbs in about 2.5 months. No magic extracts or ketones, just "eat less, move more".

    Seven pounds in four months? That stuff must be retarding weight loss. I lost 20 pounds in 4 months eating healthy food and exercising in moderation.

    ^^^^ This this this! There are no miracle pills, special combinations of foods, or magical elixirs. Dr. Oz panders to people who are looking for a quick fix.

    That's what I need. Energy. I was thinking of getting it, but it's too expensive. Does anyone know where to get it cheaper? :flowerforyou:

    Thanks!

    Omg, I was just wondering about this yesterday @ work -as I am drinking a Starbucks Refresher-

    That's hilarious. I used to be a barista @ the Bux and I loved these drinks. About two months after quitting, I have my first "green coffee extract Refresher" for the first time again yesterday. I was wondering if the hype was true as well.

    I honestly don't know. I have yet to read everybody else's replies, so sorry for the premature comment. Interested
    to see what I learn.

    It's not really energy. It's just a surge from the caffeine. Drink some coffee. Or better: get enough sleep and nutrition from healthy food. I have tons of energy. I think if is all the vitamins and minerals from the fruit and veggies I eat.

    I would not call a loss of 1.3 pounds per month a smashing success story, and I certainly wouldn't pay money for any product that would give me "results" like that.

    Doesn't matter if it has already been asked, I was wondering about it myself. And somebody may ask again tomorrow. After reading about it, I think I will save my money and stick to what I am doing so far. :happy:

    I'm currently taking the Green Coffee Bean Extract. It's too soon for me to tell whether or not it's a waste of time & money because I'm only on day 3. But one thing's certain is that nothing can replace diet and exercise. Supposedly, the Coffee Bean pill can enhance the efforts you're already making.
