Green coffee bean extract has been in the news recently due to its reported weight loss benefits. Though there are only recent studies on whether or not green coffee bean is effective for losing weight, its other long-studied effects are enough to consider taking it.
Green Coffee Bean Extract and Weight Loss
A study was performed in which participants with a BMI of between 25 and 35 took GCA green coffee extract. Their diet was to where they ate 400 calories than they actually burned. In the real world where the basic formula for weight loss is “eat less than you burn,” the participants should actually expect to gain weight. Instead, they lost an average of 17 lbs. Each! The participants were told not to eat their eating or diet habits, they ate more than they burned, and they still lost weight. This is NOT a fake study.
