Re: Is it worth it?

I don't really like coffee. At least not the way you should have it, black or with as little cream and sugar as possible. I hate tea, even iced sweet kinds.

Would something like green coffee bean extract be better than that GNC pill?

It'd be a simplified version, and you'd also need to think about supplementing with the B vitamins (or anything else that you might be defecient in due to your diet -- obviously the most efficiently processed sources of these nutrients are in food itself).

Caffeine from whatever source doesn't come without its own risks and potential side effects though, so you might still want to run it by your doctor if you have any concurrent conditions.

My own experience of trying this type of thing several years back was that it left me very jittery and borderline anxious, even as someone who already drank coffee regularly and was used to the effects of caffeine. It had a very mild effect on my appetite, but the energy I was using up while being so wired actually made me more hungry in the long run.

If you've only just changed your diet, then ideally you should let your body adjust back to normal quantities of food on its own. Supplements like this will unsettle your metabolism at a time you want it to level itself off, which is ultimately going to make it even tougher for you to ride out the initial hunger pangs than it is now.
