CoffeeSlender: Weight Loss Coffee?

coffee slenderCoffeeSlender is being released in the UK (link).

The Norwegian coffee drink has become one of the fastest selling weight loss products in Scandinavia (src)- and even has a number of clinical trials to back up its claims.The Coffee Slender drink is essentially an instant coffee that contains 200mg of Svetol per sachet. Svetol is an extract from green Robusta coffee bean (Robusta is a species of coffee (caffea) plant). Svetol has been available as a dietary supplement since 2002.

Since that time a number of studies (src) apparently show that Svetol helps regulate blood glucose levels, and spurs weight loss.

The people at CoffeeSlender claim that CoffeeSlender “can help you lose around twice as much weight compared to dieting alone.”

Will this become the next major fad supplement?

    If you look at it as a way to cleanse the digestive system, it really looks like it would do the job. And sometimes, you need a good flush (pun intended). I’ve found that to be the case as I’ve gotten older.

    That said, I wouldn’t want to use it for anything else and certainly not for weight loss. The most you’ll lose on this is water weight which comes back quickly. There are some perfectly safe amino acid supplements out there that will help gear down glucose absorption. And, with good research and help from your doctor, they’re pretty easily incorporated into a daily diet.

    I overheard someone mention coffeeslender at a dentist appointment. It got my attention, so I ordered it when I got home, even though I always thought weight loss products to be suspect. However, I was very pleased with the results! Now only do you lose weight, but I always noticed some muscle tone, extra added benefit. And I feel great; not as lethargic as I usually did in the afternoon. Also, I did not experience any “bathroom” side effects, which is a definite plus!

    Exercise and eat healthy? If we could do that, we wouldnt be on this line. I am thinking about trying the coffee slender. And the things you pop in your mouth for cravings. I am really not a coffee drinker, but I can drink it to lose weight.
    People that are not food adicts dont understand how hard it is. Just like non-alcoholics cant understand why someone cant have just one drink. I quit smoking and now its even worse. the cravies. so maybe I can try coffee. The diet pills help, but sometimes stomack cramps and acid reflex. i havent taken anything for a while, and when i did, i couldnt seem to do it on a regular basis, because i wanted to eat.

    Personally I don’t drink coffee. But while I’m reading it, it think it’s great. Very helpful for those people who are dying to lose weight. And for those coffee addicts. :)

    Coffee Slender is a good product, but I found it is sometimes not convenient to make a cup of coffee.

    I am also using a product called “Skinny Latte” which is a sugar free milk coffee candy which has 200mg of green coffee bean extract per piece. It tastes good, and it seems to be working, so I’m very happy with it. I just pop one in my mouth before meals or for a snack.

    Regarding the above post, please note Slim Coffee has NOTHING to do with Norwegian developed CoffeeSLENDER and shouldn’t be confused with it. Unlike many other diet products on the market, CoffeeSLENDER and its active ingredient are supported by independently carried out clinical studies which have been published in peer-reviewed journals (3 at the last count). All this information is avaialable for consumers to read on our website at http://www.CoffeeSlender.co.uk.

    I’m an American living in the UK and I’ve been drinking coffee slender for a couple of months now – I was a sceptical at first, but it definitely helped my cravings for snacking to drop off and the pounds seem to be following. No side effects noticed, although I have always been a big coffee drinker anyway, so it was easy to switch to it

    Coffee slender is a completely fake product and is a scam. CoffeeSlenderUSA.com runs some con art scheme where they give you a free sample but trick the customer to be billed on a recurring billing. Product is a gimmick. The company is run by some con artists from the dietary supplement industry.

    I have bought some coffee slender over the web couple of weeks ago. Am very pleased with my 3 lb weight loss. I had not changed any eating habits other than to replace my usual “after meal” coffee with coffee slender. P.S. Suffered no adverse toilet effect either :-)

    I’m from Norway. In Norway, it is illegal to advertise these kinds of products with claims that have not been proven in proper scientific studies. You have to be able to document that it does what you say it will do. I’ve never really heard of this stuff before; I may have seen it in supplement shops. It hasn’t been in the news so maybe their noses are clean. I’ll look further into it later on :)

    And if you sit as far from the restroom as possible, you could lose even more weight, haha.

    People are always looking for the easy way to lost weight without restricting their caloric intake.
    Therefore, others will continue to take advantage of this by coming up with new ways to lost weight, effortlessly.
    A ton of money can be made before people discover that a product really doesn’t work.

    Hey James!! This one’s for you Buddy! On Good Morning America today which is broadcast from New York City, the Muppet character Kermit the Frog was a featured guest. When asked if Miss Piggy was with him, he answered,” No, they won’t let her in, she’s got too much TRANS-FAT!!” HaHa!!

    Just what we need… another weight-loss supplement.
    Do people really get roped in to buying this stuff?
    Coffee itself has been known to curb your appetite.
    Oh well, somebody will get rich off this idea.

    As with all supplements, you have to do your part.
    At the bottom of some weight loss supplement there is a statement to the effect ‘when used with a diet and exercise program’ and when the weight loss companies advertise a person’s weight loss they add ‘not typical’ even if it is just a couple of pounds.
    If you are willing to be running to the bathroom and want a little extra help this sounds like a program for you.

    This is a prime example of fraud marketing campain that makes people lose weight unhealthy. Fokes, Keep this “weight loss” junk out of your diet. Instead, try eating “weight loss” fruits and vegtables and stay away from tras fats. You’ll lose weight healthier there.

    I work for the UK distributor of CoffeeSLENDER. Perhaps I could clear up a few points;

    1. CoffeeSLENDER costs £11.95 for 21 sachets (one weeks supply) or £29.99 for a 200g tube (one months supply)
    2. Its not a scam – our claims are backed by rigouros studies performed by qualified independant third parties. Unlike other companies, our studies are available to download on our website. Our evidence has also been positively reviewed by suitably qualified professionals.
    3. Its not an “overnight weight loss” or “miracle” product. You need to drink it after meals for at least a month to get the benefit. You also need to diet for it to be effective.
    4. Unlike other products, our Studies are available for everyone to see for themselves on our website – http://www.coffeeslender.co.uk

    Hope this helps

    I bought this product when i went to norway over the summer. I tried the product for a week and i lost nothing, it just had me running to the bathroom all day long. So unless you have a problem with regularity I wouldnt take this product. Its just another scam.

    “The people at CoffeeSlender claim that CoffeeSlender “can help you lose around twice as much weight compared to dieting alone.”
    I believe 98% of people who “diet” do not sustain any weight loss so twice times zero equals…honest advertising…Geez!!

    Well, it’s not for me I guess, I very rarely drink coffee, and it says to drink one cup after every meal. Great for people who are coffee addicts though, I wonder how it tastes?

    Probably not. We already have a similar product – Slim Coffee.
