Green Tea And Weight Loss

[Trixabelle21]

Do you think it works? I'm petite so only drink it for the health benefits but a friend swears that it keeps the weight off, do you find this also?

Her brand has finished so she's interested in finding out what's a good brand, power, capsules or bags?

The only way green tea helps weight loss is by making you feel fuller.

You won't lose twice as much weight by posting the "question" twice. :))

[Trixabelle21]

Let's not forget the caffeine and the Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) that boost metabolism!

I don't like green tea even more so after drinking copious cups of the stuff and not losing an ounce!!!

[woofgang]

have you got any proof of that Trixabelle?

[Tilly2]

I have tried green tea and it makes me feel sick, therefore, I cannot eat. Result!

[Trixabelle21]

Ill see what i can find in a bit woofgang

If all you have is a cup of green tea a day, after a month you won't recognise yourself.

[Trixabelle21]

Just for the taste ive just had a cup of twinings green tea and jasmine and it is total heaven!

From the NHS website:
"A well-conducted review from 2012 of 18 studies involving 1,945 people found no significant effect of weight loss from drinking green tea"

yeah lets forget them
Dr Johnson - a famous dietitian in the 1780s obviously said "if a man is fat he eats too much"
so you lose weight by limiting calorie input

sorry to be a party pooper

slimming crystals and the rest are a con
and if you market them as such - you rightly go to prison

Green tea is vile!

[Trixabelle21]

I'll post some proof tomorrow as i don't want to get drawn into another 500 post "Prisonsmokinggate" thread at this time of night!

I'm another who finds Green Tea unpalatable, but if you enjoy it and it keeps you away from snacking then enjoy it.

[Peter Pedant]

I mean it is OK
I would go to your local chinese supermarket and get a packet
a shelf will have black, green and white ( er in chinese of course - but the colour gives it away ) and cheaper

gun powder green is OK

( not to lose weight tho)

[Trixabelle21]
