Another word on Green Coffee, from Steven Novella, MD:

"Dr. Oz recently jumped on the coffee pseudoscience bandwagon by recommending green coffee beans for weight loss. Oz describes this as a “miracle pill” and offers some anecdotal evidence as justification. There is some published evidence on green (unroasted) coffee beans and weight loss, but of such terrible quality that it is completely unreliable. The study is small, poorly blinded, and was not registered with clinicaltrials.gov. In any case, the results, although touted as positive, are not convincing because they do not show a dose response relationship. During the study people lost weight, but it did not appear to have any relationship to when and what dose they were taking of green coffee beans." (from James Randi Educational Foundation website)

As in you tell people they are in a trial of some wonderful weight loss pill and they lose weight. Whatever you give them. Power of suggestion.

Even better than pedalling away on a static exercise bag is getting out into the daylight and walking. I walk every day, even grey and overcast days, as long as it is not actually raining hard or snowing hard.
I don't take any supplements, just have a varied diet , eating all the four main food groups. I have never dieted, but I do eat small portions and if I want something between meals I eat a few almonds and raisins, or a piece of fruit. Since I started serious walking, I have lost two stone and about 5" off my waist and hips, dropping from size 18 trousers to 14.
Even if you live in an inner city, there is usually a park where you can walk and enjoy the different seasons.

Reported BTW!!

Dr Oz is known for boosting quackery on TV... He is a neuro-surgeon, so this is well outside his field .

Bad Science was recommended to me by DD who is a pretty successful scientist herself (Wears a white coat and everything!) Definitely worth a read.

The only sensible use for green coffee beans is roasting them and making coffee!
