Slimming Coffee
Hi, just wondering if anyone here ever tried slimming coffee? I was recommended to try it by someone, but it is quite pricey so I thought to check it out first.

Re: Slimming Coffee
slimming coffee? Is that a skinny latte?

Re: Slimming Coffee
I wonder if people stop and think how drinking 'slimming tea' or coffee could cause weight loss
Still, perhaps it remains a more convenient false promise than the commitment the guaranteed solution of taking exercise and taking care with your diet would provide.
Googling on 'slimming coffee', just to have a laugh at how it misrepresents it's action, I came upon this below linked. It reminds me of the Chinese powdered milk scandal, where melamine (that's Formica, the plastic veneer used on desk and kitchen worktops), was added as a bulking agent.

'Public Notification: Lishou Slimming Coffee contains hidden drug ingredient
[10-23-2015] The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use Lishou Slimming Coffee, a product promoted for weight loss. This product was identified by FDA during an examination of international mail shipments.Image of Lishou Slimming Coffee
FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Lishou Slimming Coffee contains sibutramine. Sibutramine is a controlled substance that was removed from the market in October 2010 for safety reasons. The product poses a threat to consumers because sibutramine is known to substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and may present a significant risk for patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, or stroke. This product may also interact, in life-threatening ways, with other medications a consumer may be taking.
Health care professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of this product to FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event
Note: This notification is to inform the public of a growing trend of dietary supplements or conventional foods with hidden drugs and chemicals. These products are typically promoted for sexual enhancement, weight loss, and body building and are often represented as being “all natural.”

Melamine in milk, sibutramine in 'slimming coffee', hmmm, both amine compounds...

Sibutramine... 'Sibutramine is a centrally-acting serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) structurally related to amphetamines... It is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance in the United States.'

I'm surprised this drug hasn't been banned in Singapore, it sounds potentially dangerous...

It works the same way as a glass of water preventing conception (pregnancy). It has to be used as the substitute (food, sex).
Re: Slimming Coffee
Caffeine inhibits hunger, so in that sense, it can slim you down. Also, I guess if you have a lactose intolerance, and have a hot latte, then that too can slim you down in its own unique way.

This is at risk of coming down to semantics, a debate re: cause and effect.sgstrait wrote:Caffeine inhibits hunger, so in that sense, it can slim you down.
If coffee is slimming, wouldn't a slimmer simply drink that, rather than buying expensive 'slimming coffee'? By branding it as the latter, isn't the manufacturer suggesting it has weight-loss properties that regular coffee does not?

Re: Slimming Coffee
I tried this Fashion Slimming Coffee 4 years back, totally lost weight (like 7kg) as I just keep drinking fluids only due to dry mouth effect. Overall, I'm okay, still alive and kickin' 'til today. But still, will recommend go on healthy diet and clean eating to avoid future complications

Re: Slimming Coffee
People can come up with anything! Slimming coffee? Really!!! The fact that everyone wants to look slim and fit that people get fooled by such fake promises. Everyone should understand that how one can’t gain weight in one day, it isn’t possible to lose fat in a day or 2-days time. These products are just the gimmicks to gain money. Do exercise on daily basis to stay fit.

Re: Slimming Coffee
personally I know bodybuilders who drink coffee, without milk and sugar (of course) during their cutting/shredding phase.
Logic behind this is as sgstrait mentioned, caffeine inhibits hunger.
it also boosts metabolism and can be a great pre workout boost.
so yea, I guess this is the more 'legit' slimming coffee as compared to those fancy gimmicky marketed slimming coffee
