How Green Coffee Bean Extract Can Help You Lose Weight

By Belkis Conrod


One of the most popular supplements these days is green coffee bean extract. One reason that this product is so popular is that it's natural and doesn't have severe side effects unlike most OTC and prescription diet supplements. And while it's not exactly cheap, it's relatively economical compared to many other supplements. In this article, we'll share with you a few things about how green coffee bean extract can help you achieve your weight loss goals.

If you're going to be using green coffee bean extract to help you lose weight, you should be aware of the dosage you're taking. Manufacturers of coffee bean extract vary quite a bit when it comes to the amount they use in their products. Most studies that were done on this product involved taking two 500 mg capsules, twice per day. That's a daily dosage of 2,000 mg. It's usually recommended that you start off slowly with any supplement, so you may want to start off with less.

There are no severe side effects to using green coffee bean extract for weight loss. However, it's still good practice to exercising caution when using it. The amount of caffeine contained is usually the main concern for a number of people.

Caffeine, even in small amounts (such as amounts found in green coffee bean extract), is something some people have to watch out for. So if you're trying to keep your caffeine consumption at a certain limit, you'll need to take into account the caffeine content in the weight loss supplement you're taking. There are supplements that do offer the decaffeinated variety so you don't have to completely miss out on the weight loss benefits that green coffee bean extract offers. The catch, however, is that you can't count on the decaffeinated variety to be effective in weight loss because there have been no studies done on it, only on the caffeinated variety.

Do you drink coffee regularly? One of your concerns may be the extra caffeine that will get added to your diet if you start taking a green coffee bean extract supplement. Typically, a capsule has 20 mg of caffeine. A cup of coffee, on the other hand, contains at least 100 mg of caffeine. Depending on the coffee bean and the method of preparation (and the size of the cup of course), a cup of coffee can have as much as 400 mg of caffeine. So don't be worried because the caffeine in green coffee bean extract isn't going to drastically up your intake of caffeine. However, non-coffee drinkers will notice that this supplement is a mild stimulant. If you are thinking of trying green coffee bean extract, the information covered in this article may help you choose the best kind. Although there are lots of other weight loss supplements available now, this is one of the few that has been proven effective in scientific studies. If you do try it, remember that you'll get the best results if you also follow a sensible diet and exercise regularly.
