yes, green tea extracts do work. unfortunately due to deceptive marketing practices they should not really be labeled as "fat burners". at most you will see a 2-3% increase in fatty acid oxidation over a 24hr period.
the medical study below is one of hundreds that state some of the know effects of green tea extracts.

* you have to realize that when it comes to fat loss there are many small pieces to the puzzle. how have to count calories, increase water intake, increase protein intake, increase soluble fiber intake, decrease processed carb/sugar intake, increase healthy fat intake, increase intake of fruits and veggies. you see steady results when you do all of these things or as many as possible in addition to increasing regular exercise. and you have to do it consistently for a period of time. that's when you really start to see results and you will lose more body fat and preserve or even increase the amount of lean body mass that you have.
there are no quick and easy ways to safely lose body fat. it takes a significant amount of time to increase body fat levels and it will also take a significant amount of time to decrease body fat levels.

I think the cardio will help you more than the tea--tea is good for you, they don't have much calories, but most of those things are sham, and i seriously doubt that it'll help you lose weight in any way.

Yes tell your aunt. I think most parents wouldn't want their child to be taking pills of any sort behind their back. If you don't want to tell her directly, leave a note or something in your aunt's purse. it can be anonymous

Yes, as long as you use them with a healthy diet and exercise. Don't expecet miracle weight loss inhancers, but they do speed things up.
