CoffeeSlender

[Martin W .]

I don't know if this stuff is only available in the EU or not.

http://www.coffeeslender.com/

It is instant coffee made from green coffee beans. The
chemistry is such that it has the effect of stabilizing the
blood sugar and holding it steady at the desired low level for
eliminating hunger pangs and craving and hence for aiding
weight loss.

I've only been drinking it for a few days, but it certainly
seems to be working, at least with respect to eliminating
hunger pangs and cravings. On the container it says this:

"CoffeeSlender is a patented nutritional supplementdeveloped
in Norway. CoffeeSlender contains high quality coffee and the
unique extract called Svetol.

"This extract is based on green coffee beans and through
advanced methods of extraction is concentrated and purified.
Svetol contains large amounts of active ingrediaents. Medical
studies show that use of CoffeeSlender results in reduced
blood glucose and weight reduction."

Well, that last sentence is badly worded. I haven't been using
it long enough to say anything about weight reduction, but it
does seem to be squelching my craving for cookies. And the
part about "high quality" coffee is a bit misleading. As
instant coffees go, this one isn't as good as Nescafe, but
it's not bad.

I don't know if it's available outside the EU yet or not.

I should add that it is expensive. I paid about $57 for 200g,
supposedly enough for one month.

I bought a box of green tea bags - but no where on the box
does it say whether there is caffeine or not in it. Does
anyone know if green tea normally does or does not have
caffeine? Diane

You can get caffeine free green tea, just check for that
designation. I bought some fantastic Candy Cane Lane Holiday
Decaf Green Tea made by Celestial Seasonings. 0 carbs, lovely
peppermint flavor and tastes like a warm candy cane. I added a
half pkg of Splenda to mine, very yummy!

Unless it says it's decaffeinated - it isn't.

Different caffeine drinks (even unsweetend) are said to have
different effects on Blood Glucose and insulin issues, tho
different studies find different results. :)

I want the caffeine - but the package didn't say. If I make it
and assume it has it and that is all I drink I will end up
with a terrible headache. Caffeine never keeps me awake.
Because I am hyperactive - it actually helps me calm down and
focus. Thanks for the answers everyone - now it's off to
Austin to my daughter's dorm - since she doesn't get to come
home (She is in the Univ TX band and they play football Fri at
2:30). Diane
