Should You Be Using Green Tea For Weight Loss

Posted in Green Tea, colon cleanse, dieting, exercise, weight loss on June 7th, 2010 by Steve – 3 Comments

Many people are eager to lose weight and more than ready to pay for it. These people are also easily ripped off when it comes to weight loss supplements, as most of them think that eating supplements will help them burn fat. Most of these people think that weight loss teas are highly efficient because people usually lose weight while using them – the problem is that the weight will easily be gained back after discontinuing the use. Why is this?

First of all, quick weight loss is always about losing some extra water retention, and this does not contribute in your fat loss – muscles contain almost 80% of water, where as adipose tissue only has less than 5% of water in it. This means that when you lose water in your body, your bodyfat percentage actually goes up, as your lean body mass decreases. Using green tea for weight loss will usually cause you to lose water because these teas contain caffeine which is also a thermogenic. This means that it will boost your metabolic rate and induce some fat burn.

The problem with thermogenics is that you will develop a tolerance to them quite quickly, making them quite ineffective in the long run. Usually as they boost your metabolic rate temporarily, they will also slow your metabolism after you discontinue the use – this will make it even easier for you to gain the weight back.

All in all, it is not a good idea to base your weight loss project to green tea, or any other supplement that is designed for weight loss. You will not get permanent results, and in the end it will be quite difficult to achieve long term results with them. You should always focus on eating a healthy diet and increasing the amount of exercise that you do, and use supplements only when these two things are under control.

Can a Green Tea Diet Burn Calories?

Posted in Green Tea, dieting, weight loss on April 15th, 2010 by Steve – 3 Comments




Recently, science has proven that consuming green tea can have an impact when you are attempting to lose weight. On its own, green tea has been touted for its many health benefits including lowering of blood pressure and for the prevention and treatment of cancers.

When it comes to weight loss, green tea is not a magic bullet that will instantly shed unwanted pounds. But, one of the polyphenols contained in green tea, epigallocatechin gallate (ECGC) is believed to cause thermogenesis (increase of the heat production in the body). This increase in heat production supports calorie-burning properties enhancing weight loss.

Asian countries have consumed green tea regularly for centuries finding benefit from the catechins it contains.
Black tea leaves are fermented and therefore lose many of the potent catechins contained in green tea. Since the leaves are steamed instead of fermented, green tea retains the powerful polyphenols that are beneficial. Due to the fermentation process, black tea only contains between 3-10% polyphenols, while the steamed green tea leaves contain 30-40%. In terms of potency in tea, white tea is the most potent being the least processed, followed by green tea, oolong tea and finally black tea.

When consuming green tea diet plans can be more effective. The increased metabolism that you will experience by drinking green tea will enhance the weight you lose when attempting to diet. However, for weight loss, it should be part of a healthy lifestyle regime for best results.

A diet rich in organic produce, whole grains, nuts and deep water, wild caught fish like salmon that is chock full of heart healthy omega 3 fatty acids is important for good health. To further enhance your weight loss potential, exercise is key. Take a brisk walk 4-5 days each week. A 30 minute power walk will increase your stamina, improve your mental outlook and help to keep you fit.

For long term weight loss success, a green tea diet plan, while not a magic bullet and as part of a healthy lifestyle regime, can help you to achieve your goal.
