At 5'3" tall, I weighed 136 lbs, having gained 18-20 lbs over the last 20 years. I saw DietWorks Green Coffee Bean Extract (400 mg/caplet, containing less than 8 mg caffeine) at Costco and decided to give it a try. About six weeks prior, I'd started walking more and consuming less, especially of known dietbusters - stuff made tasty by the addition of salt, fat and sugar. But my 'diet' had plate...

The Pure Green Coffee supplement caused a dark discharge from my right breast. I know it was this product because the discharge stopped after I discontinued the product. Just to make sure, I took it again, and had the same problem. It caused me a lot of fear and anxiety thinking I may have cancer. I would not recommend using this product!

Have been taking this for 9 days and have gained on average a pound a day. Not effective at all for me.

It certainly has not worked for me. I have seen no difference in my weight loss, even though I'm still sort of dieting. I would hate to think what would happen if I ate normal amounts of food!

I was excited to hopefully loose some weight. I have not lost any weight. I had to stop taking green coffee bean because of my stomache and headaches. It gave me irritable bowel. Continuously did not feel well.

I wasn't able to determine if it works because I had to discontinue after only 2 days. I had the most severe heartburn/indigestion - it felt like my stomache was in my throat. I was told the caffeine amount was minimal but I just read on this site that caffeine is similar to regular coffee. I did experience anxiety while on it. I don't usually drink coffee because I suffer from anxiety disorders which caffeine aggravates. I took it because of the claim that caffeine is minimal which I even heard on Dr. OzRead More Read Less

I have been on Nutrisystem for four months and since I've lost little weight on the diet after stringently following the diet, I thought adding the 800 mg. twice a day of the green coffee bean extract would speed up my weight loss. I have noticed NO significant weight loss. Since I bought three months of the extract I will continue to use it up but I won't reorder. I had absolutely no side effects and on some days I felt like it gave me a little more energy but not consistently enough for me to purchase more. It might work for some people but it didn't for me. I'm 5 lbs. from my weight goal so if it can't help me to do that quickly, what good is it!Read More Read Less

I am diabetic and took these in hopes of getting off insulin am/pm long lasting 7units each. I am also on metformin am/pm so I am only taking 1 400mg pill at lunch but for me it works. I am down to 3units and still dropping insulin dose. Maybe it does stuff with the sugar/carbs or maybe its just cleaning my organs but it is working. As far as weightloss goes well not so much but i am only taking 1/2 the recommended dose. I have had no ill side effects. I started taking fenugreek at the same time only I take it at bed time so that may factor in there somewhere as well. Read More Read Less

Started green coffee bean extract last Sunday (10/21/12). It was hard to find until I found the last bottle at the 4th store we searched-Walgreens. I was 197lbs. I am now 192lbs!!! That's insane because I haven't changed my daily routine which doesn't include an actual exercise regimen.I also eat the same. I will not stop using this ever!

Been taking Green Coffee Extract now for 4 weeks. Stomach has been very very gaseous and last few days have been getting pains on my left hip area as mentioned in other reviews. Stopped taking for 2 days and my stomach is back to normal and the upper hip pain is gone also. Not sure of the weight loss claim, I actually gained 2 lbs in 4 weeks!

I took 800 m. green coffee extract capsules twice a day for 3 days. I am type 2 diabetic taking diabetis meds. On the 3rd day I experienced the worst case of hypoglycemia..blood sugar dropped to 50 had to have help to up my blood sugar to healthy level. I know now that I should have consulted my MD before adding supplements that might interact with my diabetes meds. If you are diabetic, I would advise caution.
