Green Tea also help to loss the weight. It is a powerful fat burner. Unlike other herbal tea, green tea does not curb the appetite or cause toilet runs. Green tea also contains theanine, which calms the mind and promotes a relaxed awareness. So it is not only can loss weight but it is more relaxing. So i suggest to take Chinese Green Tea. It is more helpful in you loss weight.

I tried tea before but the taste is too bland and I stopped taking it. I don't see any noticeable results but I think that works out long term. I think it's not suitable for me cause I prefer fast method.

Although I've read that green tea can help you to achieve weight loss but I never took it seriously. Some of my friends also mentioned that I should try it as well. Maybe I should really consider.

We here at Weight Loss HQ just did an article on this about a week ago. Please visit our Shedding Pounds With Green Tea article.

I hear a lot of positives about the healthy benefits of green tea. That's why i drink it too. Not too much though. There are a lot of so-called green tea miracle weight loss thingies out there, such as this (www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/ultra...ea-drink-c70889.html)so be EXTRA careful.

Any green tea from the supermarket will do. it doesn't need to be any mega wonder product that sells from tons of cash. the japanese drink green tea like crazy, and you don't see many of them having problems with obesity. I feel more full and find I eat less when I drink green tea, so that's one benefit that is a positive for me.

The truth about green tea weight loss

Green tea weight loss has been both lauded as effective, and criticised as being a child of advertising without evidence that it works in weight loss. So what’s the truth?

Studies relating to green tea and weight loss.

I went looking for studies that would either support or disprove green tea weight loss. Contrary
to some critics, I found both studies in the animal and human model that are very promising.
Animal studies are currently used by mainstream science for leads as to whether something is worth proceeding to human studies on. There are a lot of drawbacks to animal studies, one of the main ones (aside from the pain caused to the animal) is that for different species of animals, you get different results. And that can lead to false conclusions as to whether what is being studied, like green tea weight loss, is effective.
There were a number of studies done with humans in relation to green tea weight loss, however.

Firstly, the green tea and weight loss studies in animals (mice)

1. The University of Chicago’s Tang Center for Herbal Medical Research on epigallocatechins (EGCG) (which are part of green tea) – shows blood levels of glucose
(sugars), lipids (fats), and cholesterol are reduced. And fat deposits under the skin and in the abdomin are also reduced.

2. Another green tea weight loss study described in the health section of the msn site also found that green tea extract improved the metabolism of glucose and lipids, which is beneficial for weight loss

3. There have been a number of green tea weight loss studies done on the ability of green tea extract to lower blood sugar. This relates to our metabolism, energy levels, insulin production and hence could be useful to the dieter in terms of cravings, and maintaining their energy levels.

But what about studies that support weight loss with green tea in humans?

In this particular green tea weight loss study, oolong tea or green tea extract (an extract is more concentrated than just drinking it on its own) resulted in an increase in energy used by the body of 3-4% (on average). The Linus Pauling Institute say this effect of green tea weight loss is “apparently due to increased fat oxidation and thermogenesis”. Thermogenisis refers to energy used in heat production that is not related to resting metabolism or physical activity. (our bodies use energy even when we’re doing nothing. It’s less than energy used in other activities, of course).

In another study, different groups of people were given caffeine, to see how that compared to green tea in thermogenesis. And people taking the green tea had higher thermogenesis than those taking the equivalent amount of caffeine without green tea catchetins.

Green tea does contain caffeine, but you can get herbal preparations without the caffeine. The good news for people who don’t like caffeine, is that it is the catchetins that produce green tea’s thermogenesis effects, not the caffeine.

There have been no studies done on long term green tea weight loss. And like any product that has a beneficial effect, there’s no use using it and then living on junk food. That would counteract some of the green tea weight loss benefits. The more odds you give your body by following a healthy slimming diet, the more successful you’ll be.

Other elements to ensure your long term weight loss success might be to start a high repetition, low intensity weights program, or exercise like walking (not aerobics – its good for your circulatory system and your heart, but not weight loss.)

Personally, I think the effects of green tea weight loss combined with its superb health benefits for blood sugar, cholesterol, bad breath, dental cavities, antioxidant effects, and potentially anticarcinogenic (promising studies in mice), make it a good adjunct to any weight loss program.
