Skinny coffee?
You've heard of low-caffeine coffee and low-acid coffee...now what about "diet coffee" that is low glycemic, or as they call it, "skinny coffee?"
Check out the video below. It's from a new company named Boresha that says low-glycemic coffee will help you lose weight. They claim it's "patented, low-glycemic thermogenic."
I think it's an innovative idea, but I'm suspicious. Coffee is a naturally low-glycemic food. It's low-carb to begin with. It's the roasted pit or nut of a fruit. Bite into a coffee bean...it isn't sweet. That's because it doesn't contain much carbohydrate at all. That's why we have to add sugar to a lot of coffees...
Caffeine may help with weight loss just by itself because it's a stimulant that increases metabolism and suppresses appetite. That's a reason caffeine and other stimulants are in weight loss tablets like Proshape, Cylapril and Metabolite although it's often from Green Tea, Ginseng or Guarana rather than coffee.
I like innovators in the coffee industry (Eyal and I among them!) but I'm not so sure about this coffee. There's an interesting response below from a reader. Post thoughts on "skinny coffee" in the comments below.

I can only talk about my own experience. I'm a food addict and over the years I've gained an extra 50 pounds. I could diet and I did and I'd lose the weight, but it would come back as soon as the diet ended. I couldn't ever keep it up.
Boresha doesn't say the coffee will make you lose weight, they say it will burn fat and give you more energy.
What it has done for me is turn my appetite and cravings "off." So it isn't the coffee that creating my weight loss. It's the fact that I'm not hungry and the fattening stuff I used to eat doesn't even appeal to me. It's been like a gastric bypass without any surgery. I can't speak for other people, but for me this product line is like a miracle. I feel free for the first time in decades. And I'm not going to give you my website because this post isn't about selling anything, it's just a testimonial to one of the best things that's happened to me.
To all those who are having such trouble finding the patent for the Boresha Skinny coffee you can follow these instructions to finding it.
1. Go to www.google.com/patents.
2. Type "Ann Dewees" in the search bar.
3. TA DA! You will find several patents under her name.
I clicked on the first result it brought up and found the information for the coffee, tea, and other products listed.
I hope this helps!
Hello all. After reading most reviews on the Boresha product, I decided to give you all a real fair review on the products. First I have to be totally honest with you guys and tell you I am with Boresha and have been since they started up. My wife and I joined in '07 we are the 24th distributors in the company. We took a year and a half off due to "life happens". We did stay in touch with our upline during this time and returned once all distractions were under control. My wife and I have been involved in Health and Wellness for several years, we decided before selling anything we needed to be our own testimonials. Well after drinking both the BSkinny Coffee and BSkinny Tea all our family and friends are now drinking it as well. It is safe, it works and yes both are delicious. I am not saying this because I work for Boresha I say this because of what it has done for me, my wife, my daughter and several of our friends. The fat burning works beyond what you can imagine especially with the tea. Most important though is to get people to follow directions because when they dont as with all diets they are doomed for failure. The best thing anyone can possibly do is read on our products. They DO have many years of research behind them, not just because Dr. Allen says so. Dr. Allen is well known for her research and having quality products above all. When Dr. Allen was involved with GNC it again was very successful for both parties, but now because the product she is involved with being coffee it is not looked upon seriously. Is it because Boresha is Direct Marketing (MLM or Network)? Has anyone ever heard of Avon or Amway or Shacklee. These are all companies that took their products to market the same way and have been around for quite a while. Boresha will be as well, while we are young I have great belief in all our products because they are what the name means, "to make better, to make superb". I hope I didnt put anyone to sleep and I really hope if you dont need skinny coffee try our regular Estates Coffee. You will like what we have, that I promise. As for info here is my website it has my phone number on it and its not a sales ploy if you really want to know or learn about our stuff read on it. www.2bhealthy.igetpaidtodrinkcoffee.com Thanks and good health
I was trying to drop about 10 pounds for a vacation we were going on and a friend had me try Skinny Coffee . I was not a fan of coffee before and to be honest I still dont think of coffee as a favorite drink but I can tell you that I did lose about 8 pounds in two weeks without really changing anything other than drinking that coffee.
Can't say for sure it was the coffee but if I need to drop a few quick pounds again, I will certainly drink the skinny coffee.
I think the company site is http://www.boresha-bskinny-coffee.com . I saw a comment below with another site but it looks like that is just the science behind the coffee. Anyway, just my 2 cents
I got this coffee from a friend of mine. My wife was looking to drop a few pounds and I thought why not?
After 3 weeks she lost 7 pounds with no side effects at all. She loves the taste of the coffee and has an increased energy level/alertness without jitters. I don't drink coffee so I did not test it myself. I gave a weeks supply to my brother and he lost 3 pounds. Again no side effects just increased energy.
I don't know the science behind the coffee but it did work.

I'm researching this because my 74 year old father decided to try this diet, against my advice. So far, I have nothing conclusive that can make or break this product. I have yet to find the actual patent held by Dr. Allen, but I have my suspicions that it is not as broad as she would have us believe. Neither caffeine nor buffering are new, or patentable. I believe her patent is on a product cleverly named "Buffered Caffeine(tm)" containing, you guessed it, buffered caffeine paired with a specific non-cephalic carbohydrate.
Just to be clear, "buffered" caffeine is still caffeine, and there is no difference in its physiological effect, it just releases at a slower rate and has no bitter taste. The lack of bitterness requires less sweetener to mask it, making it suitable for the "Infused Fruit" product, which is less sweet than sucrose and does not trigger the cephalic response from the brain. This prevents the release of unneccessary insulin into the blood stream, subsequently preventing a drop in blood sugar levels (the body reacts to this drop by making us hungry).
I would like to see an FDA review of this product, but that will likely never happen since it is marketed as a dietary supplement and is therefore not subject to approval before it is distributed. What really bothers me is that all of the so-called "Certifications" this product touts come from private organizations that are all partially owned by Dr. Allen. They make claims to be "Government Certified" but that is extremely vague. I can get a letter stamped at the post office and call it government certified. I want to know what department of the Federal government certified them, exactly what certs have they been awarded, and what kind of scrutiny they had to face to earn these certs.
I havent looked into it yet but I understood the low glycemic effect to mean that because the caffine is buffered it would not effect your blood sugar. I remember reading that caffine can mimic a spike in you blood sugar and your body reacts as if it had sugar. I read that I think in a Atkins diet book, or one of those no carb deals, they recomend no coffee for that reason. I hope it works cuz i love coffee but but i worry about my adreanals and it hipes me up and who wouldnt like to loose a few lbs. :)Terry
Thanks for posting your interesting thoughts. I haven't tried Boresha's coffee. But I toned back my blog post above based on your feedback. Much appreciated.
After reviewing both Boresha's website and the scientist behind the coffee, Dr. Ann de Wees Allen, it's not just the coffee that is low glycemic, but an actual compound that is added to the coffee - a certified low glycemic, natural sweetener (Acai Sweet) that I believe is allowing them to add to the claims of low glycemic, hunger control, and combating stress related eating.
The Thermogenic or fat burning properties obviously aren't typically found in coffee (too bad though), and seems that the thermogenesis isn't from the low glycemic part but from the 'buffered caffeine'. There are a few clinical trials and studies (which is impressive for a coffee product) but found must were linked through the site, www.skinnysciencecoffee.com.
I can understand how you originally felt, but after looking through the technical and scientific research on the Skinny Coffee product I've actually found this to be a pretty riveting discovery.
Obviously, after is all said and done, the proof is in the pudding, or mug. :) Have you tried it and does it work?
