Anyone Had ( Green Tea Capsules ) For Weight Loss .

[dieseldick]

do they work ?

i put a few pounds on recently , not much but i want to lose some body fat. do these work ? obviously along with healthy diet etc.

[Old_Geezer]

In what way work ?

They'll probably quench your thirst. And according to my experience of green tea, make you go, "Yuk ! I'm never drinking any more of that muck."

If you want to drop weight eat more low energy foods and fewer high energy foods.

Eat less, move more, for weight loss.

[Peter Pedant]

it is true enough today
as it was when Dr Johnson said in 1760

a man is fat because he eats too much

eat less and exercise more ....

[ummmm]

But that's not the question!! I think dd knows the conventional way to lose weight

[Old_Geezer]

But he's still considering a 'miracle product'.

Even if it had a small effect on metabolism or whatever it isn't going to be significant or they'd be raved about everywhere. Green tea has been around for ages so it'd have been noticed.

The healthy diet is the way to go. Be disciplined and you can lose a few pounds in a week or two. It's keeping it off that one has to keep an eye on.

No it won't help you lose weight on its own. I bought some high strength green tea. It won't do anything, nor will the raspberry capsules that are often advertised on web sidebars.

[dieseldick]

green tea capsules ( just bought them from ebay this morning ) are not a " miracle product " nor do i think they are.

i am only asking do they really help in " speeding up" the weight loss obviously with a controlled diet lifestyle plan.

just wanted to hear from anyone on here that has taken them and at least felt a difference .

[dieseldick]

ill try them for 2 months and report back.

Ditch the white carbs diesal...then you'll start to lose some weight.
I keep going on about this,( no one listens,though... lol), and that "eat less do more" doesn't work...all you do is feel hungry. I read about recent research that shows reducing caloric intake for long periods causes the body to kind of "reset" what it needs...permanently...to a lower requirement.

[TheChair]

"ill try them for 2 months and report back."
How?
The only way you could know if they worked would be to travel back in time, then travel forward again, eating exactly the same foods, and doing exactly the same things, to see if there was a difference.

If you drink alcohol cutting it out altogether will quickly make a big difference. Far more effective than tea capsules

[dieseldick]

pasta,
sounds interesting, whats the " white carbs " ?

ive cut down on beer for 3 weeks now and im putting weight on !!!!!

[-SharonA-]

Aren't white carbs, like white rice, potatoes, white bread etc??

[dieseldick]

ok get it, im going to cut white pasta and bread etc...i have noticed that it bloats me .

[hc4361]

White carbs - white bread, pasta, white rice, potatoes.
Replace with wholemeal bread, wholewheat pasta, basmati and wild rice.

[hc4361]

As you've given up beer, what have you been drinking instead?

Green tea can help you lose weight - if you don't drink it normally.

Any kind of dietary change like this can, if you're not used to it, cause a bit of a "clear out" in your guts because it will act as a minor irritant.

So it might mean you literally lose weight. But it won't "burn fat".

Never seen the capsules, but if they're harmless, and they help in some form, have a go :)

They act as a diuretic (promoting the production of urine) and therefore green tea is used by those who want to detox - so make sure you are drinking plenty of water.
Green tea claims to detoxify and keep the immune and circulatory systems ticking over efficiently - but there isn't a huge amount of science behind the claim. Arthritis, cholesterol and joint problems are other things that green tea "may" help with. Risk wise - it may give you a dicky stomach.
When used as part of a healthy diet, green tea is worth trying but I wouldn't bank on shifting a great deal by just drinking teas.
Hope that helps
