Diet products that could help you lose weight

Coffee Shape

What is it and how does it work? Coffee Shape is made up of raw green coffee beans and roasted coffee beans. Raw green coffee beans contain chlorogenic acid, which is destroyed by the roastig process. The makers claim that this helps to regulate your metabolism by reducing the effectiveness of the enzyme that helps to turn the liver's fat stores into glucose, which is used as energy in the body, as well as inhibiting the absorption of fat in the intestine. Green coffee beans also have antioxidant properties. Each cup contains no more than 60mg of caffeine.

Our tester says: 'It smells surprisingly like Bovril, but tastes like normal instant coffee. I tried it for 10 days, just drinking it at my desk in the morning, and lost 2lb, which I couldn't attribute to any other reason. It's not cheap but £1.78 a day could be what you spend on a fancy coffee anyway...'

How much is it? £25 for 14 sachets (two weeks' supply) from www.coffeeshape.eu
