Answer 3

Green tea increases your metabolism by up to 5% short-term so if had every day, is a great way to help you lose weight.

It does not contribute majorly to the weight loss as I'd imagine the diet and exercise when trying to lead a healthy lifestyle to lose weight, would do that.

I used to drink green tea but it doesn't have a very nice taste and is a bit dull and placid to some people but if that doesn't bother you then I would stick to drinking Green tea rather than drinking regular sugar and milk tea.

Foods with 'negative' calories also burn off extra calories as your body uses up more energy digesting it than it does actually burning it off. Negative foods are things such as :


Asparagus Fennel *
Aubergine * Gourd *
Broccoli Leek
Cabbage * Lettuce *
Carrots Marrow *
Cauliflower Peppers
Celery * Radish *
Chicory * Spinach
Cress * Tomato *
Cucumber * Turnip
Apricot Mandarin orange
Blackberry * Melon Canteloupe *
Blackcurrant
Peaches
Clementines Plums
Damsons Raspberry *
Grapefruit Rhubarb **
Guava * Strawberry
Honeydew Melon Tangerine
Lemon * Watermelon

When trying to lose weight, these are the best things to eat - you can eat as many of these food items and wont put any weight - within reason and responsibly of course.

Good luck with all x

Tea is a natural direutic. So, any weight that comes off is probably because you're going pee more. However, green tea is supposedly loaded with antioxidants, which are wonderfully healthy, and it has no calories, which means you're filling up your stomach and not eating as much (hopefully). So, can drinking more green tea help you lose weight....yes. However, so can drinking more water...the key is, and always will be, to take in less calories than you burn.

Answer 5

Medical studies show that it MAY help, but it's not a case of drinking the tea and watching the pounds fall off. There are other benefits to green tea though. Take a look at this article, and see if that gives you any insight.

I chewed green tea gum for a while when dieting...I don't know that it helped my diet at all and I finally quit using it. The best way to lose weight is to eat right and exercise.

There are three main ways to lose weight quickly.

1) Use only water as liquid and eliminate all other liquid drinks from your diet. You must drink as much water as possible every day. You must drink about half of your weight. If you have weight of 200 pounds then you must drink about 100 oz of water.

2) The interval between the eating is very important. If you eat once, then you must eat next after 4 hours. You must take breakfast regularly. In the night eat your food three hours before going to bed.

3) Walking is very good. You must walk as much as you can. Walk everywhere you can. Use of elevators and escalators must be reduced and instead of these you must climb stairs more often.

These are some of the fastest ways to lose weight. By just following the simple steps, you can lose your weight very quickly. You must consult your doctor if want to change your diet or exercise routine.

Answer 11

Green tea has been highly valued in Asia for centuries for it's medical properties. In the recent years green tea benefits caught the attention of western scientists. Alongside with confirming many of the green tea benefits scientists indicated that green tea can also help you lose weight.

During their research they've made an amazing discovery. Even though green tea did contain caffeine it have not change the energy expenditure nor it have significantly change a heart rate.

That led to a conclusion that green tea helps to lose weight naturally and safely. In this respect, green tea or green tea extract is different from most of the prescription drugs for obesity or herbal products like ephedra, which can raise heart rates and blood pressure, and are not recommended for many individuals sensitive to stimulants.

The secret of such influence on the body lays in high concentrations of catechin polyphenols. These compounds work with other chemicals to intensify levels of fat oxidation and thermogenesis, where heat is created in the body by burning fuels such as fat. Green tea causes carbohydrates to be released slowly.

This prevents sharp increases of insulin in your blood (insulin stimulates the transformation of fatty acids into fat molecules which are stored as fat droplets). As the result fat is burned faster without being "locked" in the fat sells. I want you to remember that even a small effect can go a long way when you are dealing with your metabolism. For example, just by drinking one cup of tea a day or by taking green tea extract in the form of supplement you will burn about an extra 78 calories. This adds up to over 28,000 calories in a year. Which is about 8 extra pounds of weight.

There is also clear evidence that green tea's polyphenols (EGCG) helps depressing leptin (a protein produced by fats that plays an important role in how the body manages fat storage through brain signals). Lower leptin levels decrease the appetite. It means that you will get that "I'm full!" felling faster and as a result consume less food.

It is quite certain that green tea is now holding promise in various areas of weight loss. Drink a cup of your favorite green tea every day and lose those extra pounds easier and faster. Good luck!
