Have you heard of the "Slimming Coffee"?

Well, have you heard of slimming coffee??
I'm actually researching on it. Making sure that it is safe because it is very famous in some Asian countries. And, i figured that it'll make for good business. However, I don't want to convince people in buying a product that will not work.

Many slimming products have claimed results, but the latest in that line of the weight loss technology is the slimming coffee. There are a lot of brands available and so far, i haven't seen or heard that much of a difference among them.

Of course, we know of the different drugs and how they function. Some solely increase the metabolism rate of a person. Others inhibit the absorption of fat resulting to fat excretion in feces and urine. This kind of product does not do that. I think that was why a lot of people have joined their growing fan-base. They do not have to deal with their daily lives worrying that the effects of the product may take place in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It is said to absorb little amount of the fat you take in and eventually suppress your appetite. It also has effects such a whitening and smoothening of the skin. Health effects such as good heart circulation, cure for Low BP, and it serves as anti-aging and anti-cancer.

However one effect of it is that you'll feel somewhat dehydrated most of the time. So, sellers best recommend that whoever takes this drink, also incorporate water in their diet. Aside from that, light-headedness is felt especially during the start of the treatment.

It tells people that they can lose pounds and even inches off your waist with just days in taking this produst. Results are mostly seen in as early as three days to one week.(of course, results vary depending on existing weight and other factors) The drink should be taken 30 minutes before the first meal of the day and eating should follow thereafter. If not, you'll vomit.

The dehydrating factor led me to the thinking that this drink will affect the functions of the kidney in some way. People always say that regular intakes of water should be taken so that the toxins in the body can easily be removed.

Although I sounded like I was advertising this product, well, I'm not. I'm just curious and I wanted to know if this is just to good to be true despite the numerous accounts of users have flaunted staggering results. I'm also concerned that the long term effect will eventually catch up to the body and what sounded like good news is actually just a hoax.

I don't know what all of the ingredients are, but too much caffeine can be toxic.  AND if you aren't eating, your blood sugar will drop too low and cause dizziness, etc.  

I don't know of any "get slim quick" gimic that is going to work without potentially dangerous side effects.   It's sort of like the "get rich quick" gimics -- someone else gets your money, you get nothing.

Please be cautious.

i tried it to and i lost almost 10 lkbs in 2 weeks, my tummy became flat, may thighs got slim, but side effects occurred during the 2nd week. i think i had orthostatic hypotension, i got dizzy all the time, someon said, it's because i was having hypoglycemia since i do not have appetite to eat. i was dehydrated. Even though i drank almost 3 liters of water everyday, i felt so dry. I kept on urinating and i was so energetic and kept on palpitating so hard. I also perspired too much. I also got a lot of pimples, and i think it was due to the drastic loss of weight. but my menstruation period was still normal. I stopped taking it after 2 weeks but the side effects lasted for almost a month.
