In a world where rapid weight loss often involves complex prescriptions and expensive injections, a simple, green brew is quietly making headlines. Cricketer Sarfaraz Khan’s candid revelation that he shed 17 kilos in just two months, without Ozempic or medical shortcuts, has turned green coffee into a household name overnight. Once a lesser-known health drink, it’s now being poured into mugs across the country, one hopeful sip at a time. But is this trend all it's brewed up to be?

Green coffee, made from unroasted coffee beans, is no overnight invention. It has, just like green tea, long existed in the health food aisles, mostly overlooked, until Sarfaraz put it centre stage. His transformation sparked curiosity, not just for the result, but the simplicity of the process.

In an age where Ozempic and its side effects are under increasing scrutiny, Green coffee is becoming the gentler choice for those wanting to lose weight. Interestingly, green coffee isn’t just a passing trend. According to a research study in the National Institutes of Health green coffee’s high content of chlorogenic acid might help manage weight by reducing fat and sugar absorption in the gut. It can also soften the spike in blood sugar levels after meals.

While the brew doesn’t promise the kind of dramatic results one might expect from prescription drugs, its natural makeup and low risk of side effects make it a good option for many. As per the researchers, the real power of green coffee lies in how it works in harmony with other healthy habits, nothing fancy, just small, steady steps.

So why is green coffee suddenly the drink of the moment? Here’s what you need to know:

It boosts metabolism: Chlorogenic acid has been linked to a slight uptick in resting metabolic rate. This means your body could be burning a little more fat, even when you’re not making much effort.

It’s kinder to your body than heavy drugs: Unlike weight-loss injections or tablets that play with your hormones, green coffee does its job without interfering with your natural routines. That makes it a gentler companion for long-term goals.

Fewer unpleasant surprises: There’s a reason people keep coming back to green coffee, it doesn’t leave them jittery, nauseous or light-headed. It’s a calm cup of focus rather than a frantic rush of effects.

It becomes a comforting daily habit: For many, green coffee isn’t just a weight-loss aid, it’s a habit, a ritual. That silent 10 minutes in the morning sets the tone for better choices all through the day. It slows you down in all the right ways.

It pairs with clean eating: The warm, earthy flavour seems to complement healthy meals. People often report feeling fuller for longer, which helps cut down on unnecessary snacking or impulsive eating later in the day.
