Does the Green Coffee Bean Diet really work? Dr. Joe Vinson, a professor of chemistry at the University of Scranton, recently conducted a study about green coffee bean extract for fast weight loss. He presented the results on March 28 of this year at the Spring 2012 Meeting & Expo of the American Chemical Society held in San Diego, California. He has quite an impressive CV, and after the results were presented, interest in more information on this new way to lose weight quickly and safely went up.
In Vinson's study, 16 adults who were overweight at the time went through three 6-week periods using a 700 mg dose, a 1050 mg dose, and a placebo. The participants were aged 22 to 46 years old. Daily intake of calories for them averaged 2,400 per day, which is slightly above many recommended amounts for losing weight.
Still, at the end of the study, there was an average of 17 pounds lost by all participants. There was a delay in between stages of the study in order for their bodies to clear it from their system. In total, the study lasted 22 weeks.
While you may think it is the caffeine in the green coffee bean that is what causes the weight loss, some believe that Chlorogenic Acid plays a much larger role. However, more research is being conducted. Still, Chlorogenic Acid enabled the body to better regulate glucose levels and also helps speed up the metabolism so that the body can naturally burn more calories.
Something that points to Chlorogenic Acid playing a larger role in the weight loss help from green coffee beans, is the fact that roasted coffee beans (that are not green) do not provide the exact same benefits of green coffee bean extract. As mentioned, however, many more studies need to be done, but initial results are very promising.
This may be why green coffee bean extract was mentioned on a recent Dr. Oz episode along with other fat burning foods and products. All you need to do, however, is search the Internet to see that many people are starting to get interested in this new method of losing weight.
Green Coffee Bean Tablets or Extract?
While you may be able to purchase the extract of the green coffee bean on your own, when it is compressed into tablet form, it is easier to add it to the daily routine. The choice of which is better is going to be up to the individual that decides to try this alleged method to burn fat fast.

In addition to the benefits mentioned above, green coffee bean extract is also thought to be very helpful in other ways.
- Antioxidants - Chlorogenic Acid is a polyphenol that functions as an antioxidant, protecting the body from harmful cells that can cause damage - like cancer cells.
- Overall Health - Additionally, green coffee beans are thought to also help with cardiovascular health, although more research needs to be done.
- Blood Sugar Levels - By helping glucose levels in the body, you may be able to keep your blood sugar levels at an appropriate level, which can decrease the chance of type 2 diabetes.
There is still a lot of research to be done on green coffee bean extract and the diet pills that are made from it, but initial results have been quite promising for many people, prompting them to actually buy products based on the green coffee bean.

I've heard of Chlorogenic Acid acting as an antioxidant, but never knew that it could help aid in weight loss. I can't wait to purchase some green coffee beans!
