Hii everyone...
I have a quick question.
I'm currently on a diet right now, but these past couple of days I have been drinking about 2 16oz cups of iced green tea with honey everyday.. would this mess up my weight loss in anyway? I work out at lot. I run/jog for at least 40 minutes twice a day, i do 25 regular crunches, 25 bicycle manuever crunches, 25 oblique crunches, at least 15 minutes on my ablounge, 10 minutes worth of wall squats, and 10 minutes of lunges and this is just my morning routine..I do the same routine at night too. Right now I currently weigh 135lbs, I'm 5'5". I don't eat junk food, or drink sodas or eat anything sweet like candy and stuff. Would I also benefit from drinking green tea with honey? THANKS SO MUCH!!

Drinking green tea has lots of health benefits. Experts say that drinking green tea helps you burn calories, in addition to helping to prevent various diseases.
You can read about green tea's fat-fighting power here:

I believe that green tea definitely helps with weight loss. I would recommend drinking it plain, though, rather than with honey.
Another refreshing way to enjoy green tea is to drink iced green tea. It's my favorite drink in the summer!

You many not get all of the benefits you want from the green tea if you are drinking it iced. I once read somewhere, Fitness magazine I think, that if you drink green tea hot you get more of the antioxidants than you would if you drank it iced. Don't know why though.
I can tell you too, that I drink green tea. When I first started drinking it (hot) I lost 10 lbs and didn't change anything I was doing. So you may potentially have weight loss benefits doing this. Honey is good for you too!

How would that mess up your diet? Green tea is great for you and honey is an all-natural sugar so that's healthy as well. Green tea has lots of antioxidants.
If you love chocolate as much as I do, try Hershey' Cacao Reserve drinking chocolate. They claim it has 4 times the antioxidants of a cup of green tea. Don't know whether or not that's true but it sure tastes great!

The un-roasted non fermented however uncooked inexperienced dried tea leaves yield this colour. Green tea is attributed as a result of its uncooked reputation of leaves. The black bleeds best in purple no black all in all.
