Green Tea & Weight Loss

[yvonne326]

I started drinking Green Tea - - basically because I like the taste but also due to the anti-oxidents in helping boost immune system, etc... I also noticed that it can help in losing weight which makes me wonder if that may be the reason I dropped 2 lbs in last 4 days - - I really didn't change my food intake...

Anyone have success in adding Green Tea to their diet and found that it speeds up your loss?

I wish!!! :p

It's possible though. Green tea is supposed to be wondrous stuff. :) Unfortunately, I drink it pretty regularly and while I've been exercising and losing a good amount of inches, no noticable weight loss.

Good for you. Perhaps green tea played a part in your visit from the whoosh fairy!

Hi Yvonne & Skamito!

According to the exercise guru's in the supplement/nutrition and exercise threads ...

green tea between 300-500mg will raise your metabolism 4% but that's 4-10 cups per day. So you can opt for a tablet but be sure to get 60%polynols (whatever that means - but it's on the bottle) ;)

Personally, i think it could be right... i've been taking the supplement and drinking green tea for about a week and i'm still losing. I'm sure it's just one of a combination of factors - but whatever helps!

Green Tea or any tea is more like water ... It refreshes your body for over all good health.

It's been around for ages for asians. :)

I drink green tea, but see too much of a difference. I know I feel better when I am drinking it.

Are you drinking decaf? or regualr green tea?
