According to new evidence, unroasted coffee beans may be able to play a big role in those who are trying to lose weight.

Scientists found that unroasted, or green, coffee beans can produce a substantial decrease in body weight in a short period of time.

They reported their findings at the 243rd National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS).

The study involved 16 overweight or obese people between the ages of 22 and 26 years old. The participants were given capsules of the extract or capsules containing a placebo for 22 weeks during the study.

The subjects alternated between a low dose and a higher dose of the extract. The low dose consisted of 700 mg of coffee extract, while the higher dose was at 1,050 mg.

All the participants in the study were monitored for their overall diet and exercise during the 22 week period.

Joe Vinson, Ph.D., the study leader, said their calories, carbohydrates, fats and proteins did not change during the study. He also said the participants did not exercise any differently.

The researchers found after the trial that the participants lost an average of 17 pounds during the 22 weeks.

The participants saw an average of 10.5 percent decrease in overall body weight, and a 16 percent decrease in body fat.
