Q : Is this just yet another unproven slimming product?
A : No, unlike most dieting aids, the weight loss benefits have been repeated in studies from around the world – see Studies for more details. CoffeeSLENDER is drunk by thousands of Norwegians every day. They wouldn't continue to buy it if it didn’t work! See the video on the Testimonials page to see what Norwegians think about dieting with CoffeeSLENDER.

Q : Will it work for me? How long do I need to drink it get the full effect?
A : Studies have shown that CoffeeSLENDER can reduce blood sugar levels after meals, and so it is very likely to improve your dieting results.
However, do not expect "overnight" results. CoffeeSLENDER is not a miracle answer to instant weight loss (nothing is!). For it to be effective, you need to combine drinking CoffeeSLENDER with a diet for at least a month, preferably longer. In the short term, you may notice a drop in cravings for sweet things, but, as with any diet, the weight loss should start to become apparent after a few weeks. For maximum effectiveness, we recommend that you try the 12-week CoffeeSLENDER challenge!

Q : Will I like the taste?
A : CoffeeSLENDER tastes just like ordinary instant coffee. If you drink instant coffee, you should love CoffeeSLENDER! RyanAir's inflight magazine conducted a "blind taste test" on CoffeeSLENDER - it was rated higher than some expensive brands of coffee. However, if you don't like coffee, CoffeeSLENDER is now available in tablet form ( that doesn't taste of coffee) that contains the same active ingredient in the same quanity as a cup of CoffeeSLENDER.. |

Q : How much weight can I expect to lose using CoffeeSLENDER?
A : This depends on too many factors to give an accurate answer. However, you will lose more weight if you diet and exercise when using CoffeeSLENDER. To give you some guidance, the AVERAGE weight loss from one of the studies carried out on Svetol, over an 8-week period was 5kg (as part of a diet programme). |

Q : Does CoffeeSLENDER contain caffeine?
A : Yes, CoffeeSLENDER coffee does contain caffeine, but no more than normal instant coffee. The tablets contain almost no caffeine at all - much less than a cup of decaffeinated coffee in fact. |

Q : Can I afford it?
A : Even if you don’t take the CoffeeSLENDER Challenge three cups a day will still cost you around £1.00 if you buy the 200g tubes. That’s less than the price of a single cup of coffee at your local coffee bar! Many Norwegian drinkers have also reported a strong drop in cravings for sweet snacks – think of the money you could save here! |

Q : How often should I drink CoffeeSLENDER or take CoffeeSLENDER tablets?
A : You should drink CoffeeSLENDER after each main meal – i.e. three times a day. Drinking more will not increase the amount of weight you lose. If you are taking CoffeeSLENDER tablets, you should take a tablet with each main meal, i.e. again three times a day. You can combine the coffee with the tablets - for example, you could drink a cup of CoffeeSLENDER after breakfast and lunch, but take a tablet in the evening. |

Q : How much CoffeeSLENDER should I use for each cup?
A : You should use 2 level teaspoons of CoffeeSLENDER in each cup of coffee. This amount gives each cup the right amount of Svetol to be effective. Adding more will not increase the effectiveness of CoffeeSLENDER, although you can add more if you like strong coffee. |

Q : Do I need to tell my Doctor that I am using CoffeeSLENDER?

Q : Can I use CoffeeSLENDER whilst on a diet?
A : Yes, you can. Calorie controlled dieting is proven to be the best way to lose weight. Drinking CoffeeSLENDER whilst on such a diet should increase the speed with which you lose weight.
