How To Use Green Tea Lose Weight

Dieting is not meant to just look good, although it is one of the major reasons why people try to lose weight. One of the most important things to consider is what it can do for your physical health and well-being. If you are exceeding what your ideal body weight should be, it is a sign that you should start working to take all the excess out and get back to being as fit as you should normally be. That said, you should also find the healthiest options available, so you lose weight safely and get all the proper nutrition in your body in spite of your limited intake of food. Coupled with regular exercise, you’ll be back to normal before you know it. A popular and healthy choice to help in your dieting process is green tea. Aside from its powerful anti-oxidant properties, green tea contains catechin, a substance that has be studied to burn fats quickly and hold back frequent cravings to eat. It is all natural too, and a lot of its active elements does not help you to only lose weight, but helps in the prevention of other diseases as well. Although not everyone may have the taste for green tea, there is no reason why they should not make use of it and benefit from all it has to offer. Here are some ways to do that.
  • Taking green tea as a regular beverage. If you enjoy the flavor of tea, take at least three cups a day. This is an ideal amount to consume if you want to lose more pounds in less time. If you wish, you could enhance its flavor according to your taste by adding a little bit of honey or a bit of lemon juice. You can also do as the English do and drink your tea with milk if you wish.
  • Taking green tea in pill form. If you are not happy drinking green tea in its liquid state, you may want to consider ingesting it in pill form instead. The recommended dosage for someone on a diet is 1 to 2 pills a day. This amount is sufficient to cover for the 3 cups a day routine, performing for your body the same function as when you drink tea directly.
  • Adding green tea extract into your regular diet. Drinking tea is healthy, and if you don’t like its taste, you can always add tea extract in your diet but always make sure to let your doctor know before doing it. The effect is basically the same as drinking the tea, but its flavor is masked by the other flavors you have on your plate.
  • Using a green tea patch. If you have no known allergies, a green tea patch may be another way of incorporating green tea into your weight loss program. The patch is attached to the skin, on any portion that is free from hair. This must be left on your skin for one whole day to allow it to work on your system and help you lose some weight.

Consider green tea as your healthy option, whether to lose weight or to stay healthy. With all that it has to offer, you help build up your body’s defenses while breaking down unnecessary body fats.

How Green Tea Can Burn Belly Fat

  1. Caffeine

    • Green tea contains caffeine, which speeds up the metabolism and breaks down fat. While the fat-burning properties of caffeine are generally harnessed only by exercise, caffeine keeps blood sugar at higher levels than normal and thus reduces hunger, which could also be considered pre-emptive fat burning. Still, as with any caffeine-based product, the best way to harness the fat-burning potential of green tea is to take it with lots of exercise.

    Thermogenesis

    • Green tea contains catechin polyphenols, which like caffeine tend to increase the body's thermogenic activity--the increased consumption of calories as energy. This increased caloric usage can also result in more fat-burning. As with the caffeine, the effects of this increased thermogenesis are most pronounced when the consumption of green tea is paired with exercise, although drinking green tea alone is still better than nothing.

    Research

    • A study on Japanese men showed that green tea extract (as compared with pure caffeine or a placebo) resulted in a 4 percent increase in metabolism when paired with exercise. Three cups a day of green tea provides a sufficient quantity of polyphenols and caffeine to stimulate the body's natural fat-burning propensities and makes exercise slightly more effective at burning fat.

Teas That Burn Belly Fat Fast

Different teas can help the body lose stubborn belly fat. Most weight loss teas are herbal and contain naturally occurring minerals, plants and herbs. They work by helping the body to metabolize and digest foods that may otherwise convert to fats and calories. Most weight loss teas are low in cost and readily available from health food stores.

Green Tea

  • Green tea has long been known in China to help with digestion and metabolism, which aid in weight loss. Having green tea after a meal helps the body break down the food it just ate and increases metabolism. According to japanesegreenteaonline.com, green teas help to create thermogenesis (which is the speed of which calories are burned and also helps in fat oxidation.)
    Carbohydrates are also released slower as a result of drinking green tea, this eases them into the body and helps the body metabolize them more efficiently.

Cleansing Teas

  • Cleansing teas, sometimes known as detox teas, work by flushing the body's digestive tract clean of any built up waste residing in it. The process of a detox usually takes approximately one week of daily tea consumption. According to circlesoflight.com, the teas help remove mucoid plaque that can line the colon walls, this plaque not only can cause constipation and inhibit waste elimination but can also arrest digestion, so that the nutrients in foods are not eliminated.

Oolong Tea

  • According to Teas Etc, A study conducted in 1998 in China demonstrated that by drinking oolong tea for six weeks will result in weight loss reducing body fat. Oolong tea helps in energy expenditure, the body burns more calories as a result of drinking oolong tea and it helps to convert body fat into useful energy. Some people have claimed oolong tea only helps to burn fat because the caffeine it contains burns energy. According to Dr. William Rumpler's 2001 study, this is a myth and oolong tea has many other factors which contribute to weight loss.

Tips For You



  1. In the Morning. The first thing I do in the morning is come down and cut on the tea kettle to warm some water. Then I get my first glass of water (I drink about 10 a day). When the water is Hot I steep my tea and have a cup before breakfast. Oolong provides healthy weight loss benefits by increasing your metabolism. As we increase our metabolism we also energy. Therefore, Oolong is an energy boost and very helpful to start the day. Much healthier for you than that first cup of coffee.
  2. Before Lunch. Typically, I get two cups of tea from my tea bags and I have a cup before lunch as well. Admittedly this is easy for me as I work from home. Maybe you can not have your second cup until the evening. The increased energy we get is also needed throughout the day.
  3. Before dinner. Have you noticed a pattern. I drink three to four cups a day. I always drink them before meals. I usually drink water as well.
  4. The other benefit is that i have less of an appetite. Even though I eat 6 small portions a day (breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, evening snack) I am never hungry and my body digests my food better. Furthermore, I am energized all day.
