Information I read said that coffee bean extract is not a stimulant but it speeds up your metabolism. I guess that means one could take it and then would be able to eat more. That's one possibility. Or, to look at it another way, if it speeds up your metabolism, doesn't that mean you would be burning more calories and therefore need more calories? In other words, it might make you hungry.
How safe is it? Have there been any clinical trials? Has it been approved by the FDA? Can it be habit forming? What happens when one loses 10 or 15pounds and then stops taking this "Extract"? Do they gain the weight back quickly? Most likely they will if they haven't bothered to change their eating habits. In that case they will likely start taking it again and again and who knows what the long term effect will be?
This Coffee Bean Extract sounds like a money making fad diet and I would stay away from it. There's no substitute for learning and practicing how to eat a better diet.
Shame on Dr. Oz. for pushing this stuff.
