Diet plan: Drinking THIS with breakfast could help you lose half a stone

A diet plan with green coffee or green coffee extract could help you to lose half a stone, studies have claimed.

Multiple scientific studies have pointed to the fact that drinking green coffee has a positive effect on those hoping to lose weight. 

Green coffee extract is taken from unroasted, green coffee beans. Various weight loss supplements use green coffee as an ingredient, including Svetol.

The unroasted coffee beans are higher in chlorogenic acid, which is believed by some to be responsible to for weight loss.

A study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that the acids increase the metabolism. 

Another study from the US National Library of Medicine and National Instate of Health, found that green coffee can reduce carbohydrates being absorbed – meaning the body is getting less sugar, which can also lead weight loss.

Another large study in the same journal that looked at the use of green coffee extract as a weight loss supplement.

It pointed to numerous studies which found weight loss was achieved by test subjects taking the tea to various degrees. 

One study stated a median weight loss of 2.47kg or five and a half pounds. 

One stated a maximum weight loss of 4.23kg, which is 9.3lbs or over a half a stone.

Green tea extract can be taken in the form of a supplement, but it can also be drank like black coffee.

To make green tea it is possible to grind green beans into a powder and mix this with hot water before sieving it.

Otherwise, soak the beans over night before boiling them to make a concentrated tea which can be watered down.

Another weight loss method that has proven popular is the G Plan Diet, which looks at gut health to help Britons slim down.

Another morning supplement that can help you slim down is fish oil.

Various studies have found a link between taking the oil and significant changes to the metabolism, which are likely to boost weight loss.
