The Potential of Green Coffee as Weight Loss Against Obesity

Abstract

Obesity is a condition in which there is an excess amount of fat in the body. Green coffee contains chlorogenic acid and caffeine, which has many benefits, including antiobesity and antihyperlipidemic. This study aims to determine the potential of green coffee as a weight loss in obesity. This research was conducted by literature study using the narrative review method and data collection from some literature. The literature search is done online using several databases: Google scholar, PubMed, Elsevier, BioMed Central, and Science Direct. This study showed that significantly green coffee could lose weight in HFD-induced animals or in obese humans where the green coffee extract was tested using several dose variants, and then the case group was compared with the control group. The activity of green coffee in losing weight is caused by green coffee containing chlorogenic acid and caffeine compounds that have the benefits of increasing fat metabolism, improving insulin resistance, regulating energy expenditure, and thermogenic activity.
