Want to shed flab? Drink green coffee daily, says a new study. Researchers in the United Kingdom have carried out the study and found that chlorogenic acid from green coffee causes significant levels of weight loss the drink works by reducing sugar absorption from the gut and speeding up the rate at which fat is burned.<br/><br/>In a four-week trial researchers found that those who drank one cup a day lost 3.5 pounds in two weeks, and 4.45 pounds in a month. That compares to drinkers of standard coffee, who on average lose just 0.3 pounds in two weeks compared to those who drink no coffee at all.The findings of this study have been published in the 'American Journal of Clinical Nutrition'.
