Can You Lose Weight By Drinking Green Tea?
I know two people who claim to have lost weight just by drinking green tea. They claim that their diet did not change otherwise, and they did not increase their exercise regimen. My GF has heard claims that green tea increases metabolism. From brief, personal experience drinking the stuff, I seem to have more, um, movements, when I drink green tea. Anyone else out there have a similar experience?
There is no evidence that it helps you to lose weight. It is however a great antioxidant. I drink green tea daily and fluid will fill you up in turn suppressing your appetite. Tea is a stimulant as it contains caffeine. Perhaps they didn’t realize that they were doing more, activity wise, and in turn lost some weight.
I don’t think so.. my sis LOVE drinkin green tea and even eats green tea (from tea pack..oh my–), but she’s always Fat!LOL
be carefull, Green tea contains Caffine as much as coffie does and stain ur teeth too.
tHE TEA DOES INCREASE YOUR METABOLISM IT GIVES YOU HIGH ENERGY BUT LET ALONE BY ITSELF IT DOESN’T ALLOW YOU TO LOOSE WIEGHT. IT HELPS GREAT WITH DIGESTION THOUGH.
No, only way to lose weight is to decrease caloric intake & increase physical activity.
i read somewhere that drinking 4 cups a day coupled with at least 30 minutes of walking will help shed weight.
But, as with all these weight loss things, it is probably a crock
It has caffeine and so your heartrate will increase. That plus the fact that drinking a lot of warm liquid helps to feel like getting something into the stomach may help a bit during a diet. But I would not rely on it.
in asia, we drink green tea especially after meals beacuse it aids with digestion and cleansing.
as for drinking the tea alone, it does not serve as a weightloss supplement.
it is a very healthy addition to weightloss program though =)
