Green coffee bean extract may just be the key to cheap and effective
weight loss. In a recent research study, 16 overweight young adults
taking a regiment of varying doses for a period of 22 weeks lost an
average of 17 1/2 pounds.
All
16 participants lost considerable body weight without diet or exercise.
During the study they took in rotation a low and high dosage of this
extract and a placebo. Even though this was a very small study, the
results were remarkable. The participants lost on average 17 1/2 pounds
and reduced their overall body weight by 10 1/2 % and lost 16% of their
body fat, all in 22 weeks.
This was all done while not changing
their diet or exercise. As a matter of fact the subjects were monitored
throughout the study and had an average intake of 2,400 calories per day
and an expenditure of 400 calories per day. This amount of calorie
consumption and expenditure is no place near the levels necessary for
weight loss. However, substantial weight loss was achieved.
Why does green coffee bean extract cause weight loss?
There
is a substance in green coffee beans called chlorogenic acid.
Chlorogenic acid is very significant to plant metabolism and apparently
has a similar effect on the human metabolism. Unfortunately, chlorogenic
acid is removed when coffee beans are roasted, so you will not get the
same weight loss effect from your daily cup of coffee.
It appears
that the chlorogenic acid works by slowing the release of glucose from
the liver into the bloodstream and raises the metabolism speed. In turn,
as the release of glucose is slowed down, the human body will use fat
cells for energy instead of sugar and of course burning fat cells will
cause weight loss.
This extract not only causes weight loss but
also offers a number of other health benefits. As a matter of fact, some
doctors have even recommended green coffee bean extract as an effective
supplement for hypertension for individuals who are looking for natural
alternatives and are currently taking medication for high blood
pressure.
