On his Emmy award-winning talk show, Dr. Mehmet Oz frequently features weight loss supplements. He's particularly excited about the benefits of two new ones: green coffee bean extract and raspberry ketones. From melting your midsection to curbing carb cravings, get the skinny on what each supplement can do to help you achieve the body of your dreams.
Interested in trying green coffee bean extract? Before you head over to Starbucks, be warned: Dr. Oz emphasizes the importance of taking the right supplement to benefit from this belly-blasting pill. The researchers who developed green coffee extract used a pure supplement branded as GCA, which contains chlorogenic acid. What they learned: overweight study participants lost an average of 17.5 pounds in 22 weeks. Get the details on their study by clicking here. In addition to confirming that it has GCA, choose a well-known brand, such as Life Extension CoffeeGenicTM Green Coffee Extract.
Dr. Oz views raspberry ketones as his "number one weight loss miracle in a bottle," he declared on his show recently. This compound, which is made from red raspberries, helps to control adiponectin, which is a hormone that stimulates your body to boost your metabolism. Some say it also suppresses their appetite. The result: your body burns fat more effectively and faster. Think you can just substitute red raspberries? Dr. Oz says that to get enough to make an impact on your metabolism, you would need to eat 90 pounds of raspberries. Gulp. If you want to try raspberry ketones, Dr. Oz recommends 100 mg per day.
