It is instant coffee made from green coffee beans. The chemistry is
such that it has the effect of stabilizing the blood sugar and holding
it steady at the desired low level for eliminating hunger pangs and
craving and hence for aiding weight loss.

I've only been drinking it for a few days, but it certainly seems to
be working, at least with respect to eliminating hunger pangs and
cravings. On the container it says this:

"CoffeeSlender is a patented nutritional supplementdeveloped in
Norway. CoffeeSlender contains high quality coffee and the unique
extract called Svetol.

"This extract is based on green coffee beans and through advanced
methods of extraction is concentrated and purified. Svetol contains
large amounts of active ingrediaents. Medical studies show that use of
CoffeeSlender results in reduced blood glucose and weight reduction."

Well, that last sentence is badly worded. I haven't been using it long
enough to say anything about weight reduction, but it does seem to be
squelching my craving for cookies. And the part about "high quality"
coffee is a bit misleading. As instant coffees go, this one isn't as
good as Nescafe, but it's not bad.

I don't know if it's available outside the EU yet or not.

I should add that it is expensive. I paid about $57 for 200g,
supposedly enough for one month.

I bought a box of green tea bags - but no where on the box does it say
whether there is caffeine or not in it. Does anyone know if green tea
normally does or does not have caffeine?

Different caffeine drinks (even unsweetend) are said to have different
effects on Blood Glucose and insulin issues, tho different studies find
different results. 🙂

You can get caffeine free green tea, just check for that designation. I
bought some fantastic Candy Cane Lane Holiday Decaf Green Tea made by
Celestial Seasonings. 0 carbs, lovely peppermint flavor and tastes like a
warm candy cane. I added a half pkg of Splenda to mine, very yummy!

Unless it says it's decaffeinated - it isn't.

I want the caffeine - but the package didn't say. If I make it and assume
it has it and that is all I drink I will end up with a terrible headache.
Caffeine never keeps me awake. Because I am hyperactive - it actually helps
me calm down and focus. Thanks for the answers everyone - now it's off to
Austin to my daughter's dorm - since she doesn't get to come home (She is in
the Univ TX band and they play football Fri at 2:30).
