Very Green Tea

ive been trying to exercize and eat healthy to lose weight but i havent noticed any results at all. its frustrating. so my friend said that drinking lots of green tea will help flush my system and help burn calories. but i tried some and i find the taste absolutely gross. is there anything similar to green tea that i can try? any vitamins that will help? thanks

When I first started drinking green tea a few years ago I lost 3 kilos in 2 weeks . I think it was because it works like an appetite suppressant , and is a mild laxative. Drinking too much of it though can be a bad thing . Have you tried flavored green tea, they have some nice ones like jasmine , peach, vanilla, citris, apple etc..

The other thing that works for me is raw apple cider vinegar , but if you don't like the taste of green tea, you most likely will hate the taste of the apple cider vinegar lol

yes i tried the soft gel green tea extract ( healthy options and another american brand ). anything that claims about losing weight is not promising unless you combine workouts and healthy eating. I lost 15lbs in 2months but i do not say the greentea is responsible for the weight lose. I used it to compliment my weight lose program only but i didn't relay on it completely. There are no miracle weight lose pills invented yet as there are no short cuts to a leaner, heanlthier body. Just save your money for now, start working out, eat healthy the when you start losing the 1st couple of lbs, combine the green tea supplement. Good luck!

Can any one tell me how to achieve a weight loss of 20 kilos to achieve a ideal weight of 55kgs. i am 37 and doiing some treadmill for about 20 mins a day and lot of walk during week ends, and on fat free diet.will green tea and oats help in weight loss?

i can give u one best diet plan
1)The very first thing u should keep in your mind and that is the extra weight u put on didn’t come in overnight so it is not possible and also unrealistic to take it off quickly. You have to show patience. Please remember learning to eat well and exercise is the only solution to long-term weight loss.
2)The 2nd important thing is that your body weight is controlled by the number of calories you eat and the number of calories you use each day. So, if you consume fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight. You can do this by becoming more physically active or by eating less.
3)The 3rd important thing is never skip ur meal or go to a crash diet. Don’t ever try to starve urself. It is very important to understand that when you skip a meal or go on a crash diet, the result is that it slows your metabolism to conserve your energy. And when you lose weight too quickly for a few days, your body thinks it is threatened with starvation and goes into survival mode. It fights to conserve your fat stores. There fore keep in mind never try to skip ur meal, especially breakfast and always try to take food on time
4)Before starting any type of diet, weight yourself and note ur whole body measurement in a dairy. Then after every week weigh your self again and compare with earlier measurements and see how much weight u r losing. Record a goal that you can reach in one month that is 4 to 8 pounds less than you weigh now. Set a goal you know you can achieve.
Now some tips how to set ur diet plan.
5)Start taking your food with out any oil. Try to use boiled/steamed vegetables, meat, and lot of salad. U can eat fruits too and boiled/steamed chicken or red meat too but no pork. Please note and put it in ur mind that nothing fried or oily.
6)Try to chew ur every food for atleast 20 times. And then swallow it into ur stomach.
7)No Potato Please. It is strictly forbidden during this diet
8)No Junk Food Please.
9)Drink at least 3 ltr of water daily. Make ur habit to drink water as much as u can. Rather take a bottle of water with you all the time, when you feel starving, drink it as much as u can.
10)Make you habit to use brown bread.
11)use skimmed and low fat milk and yogurt
12)Sugar is strictly forbidden in this diet plan.
13)First try to avoid any type of soft drink but if u really wants to taste some thing sweet then drink any soft drink (but not cola), but just one glass once in a week.
14)Eat at least once in a day a vegetable soap or Thai soup ( as ur dinner or lunch), as much as u can but no corn flour in it.
15)Just look at your food portion. It is much better to eat several small meals a day (like 5-6 healthy meals a day) than eat either one or two or three huge meal a day.
16) The most important factor in any weight loss plan is how many calories you consume each day,and eating too few is the most common mistake. Divide ur diet into 5-6 healthy meals a day (1 plate size only)
17)one bowl of oatmeal can be taken as a break fast
18)No hard drink of any type is allowed in this diet.
19)Smoking strictly forbidden in this diet
20)Watch out ur every drink and every single piece of ur food. Stay away from fatty foods, junk foods, synthetic foods, foods with preservatives and too much carbohydrate. Don’t try to take foods that are made of white flour for example white bread, cakes, pasta etc and food contain sugar such as cookies, ice cream, candy etc.
21)Remember after every 15 days you can take once in a while with a little treat any thing u like. But remember just a small portion. For example one small personal pizza or one small burger or small pastry.
22)Try to adopt some healthy timing. Early to rise and early to bed. No late sittings.
23)People usually want Quick and Easy result, we all are impatient. You have to be patient in terms of your weight loss and never give up. Always keep in mind that slow and steady win the race.
24)At least take this diet for 3 to 6 months and when u feel that u have achieved your desired weight then make this is as a Life Style change for you entire life. Remember do not focus on just losing weight; try to concentrate on diet plan forever so that you will never have to loose weight again. But occasionally u can take other junk food too.
25) You have to keep in mind that above plan is a not a quick thin program. Don’t try to deceive ur body. It will destroy your metabolism and in the future the proportion of gaining weight is much higher and easier than today.
26)Never ever go for any type of Diet pills or any drug which claim that it will reduce the weight quickly. Taking Diet pills will kill u.
27) Exercise: Rule-of -Thumb: remember the formula for weight loss and that is Diet= 70% Exercise= 30%. So remember exercise is must with every diet plan. The best indoor exercise machine is tread mill. Run on tread mill for at least 30 mnts daily. And if you don’t have this facility then best ind

Cause I’ve been drinking like half a gallon of it a day, and I’ve lost over ten pounds in the past week, and I know its not just water weight cause I can see where the fats gone away.

Yes, green tea has been shown as an effective weight loss agent to help you with weight loss. Is it the be all and end all solution? No.

I heard that it works, but does anyone know how well it works and what it really does to the body to help lose weight?

They say that green tea extract in pill form can be used as a weight loss aid because it "boosts the metabolism." I say if that is true, you would have to drink gallons of brewed green tea since there is only a small amount of the key elements (tocophorols?) in drinking tea and they are concentrated in capsule form.

There is NO substitute for consistant exercise and sensible portion control however, no matter what you take as a supplement and there are possible health risks because most weight loss supplements are unregulated by the FDA, so there is no telling what the right "dosage" is, etc.

or does it make no difference..??

In my opinion, it doesn't make any difference, but undoubtedly green tea with lemon tastes better. That's it!

Got these diet pills that are basically green tea extracts and it claims to boost metabolism, give more energy, and curb appetite. Wierd that green tea would do that, anyone know anything about it?

Yes it does. Most pills on the market doesn't even have the active ingredents of the green tea to promote weight loss. Green tea by itself can cause side effects. I would recommend a herbal concentrate to balance things out on the side effects.

I have heard that warm green tea is effective, but not ice cold. Is that true? Please help me. Thanks in advance.
Thanks everyone for giving me so much information on green tea. I really appreciate it.

you can have hot or cold ice tea, their both affective. but hot tea is a little more effective. either way you're going to lose weight, just dont add sugar, excercise and you'll be good.

I already know all about exercising, drinking water, eating healthy,ect.
I am about to quit smoking and desire to keep my trim figure. Yes, I know that the #1 reason for quitting smoking is for my health [as well as the environment ect]
I would like to know if anyone has ever tried one of those green tea patches, and have experienced good results, or what were the results if any please? Thank you.
P.S. I lost 25 pds. last yr. and even tho quitting smoking does cause some weight gain inevitably for a lot of people, thought perhaps drinking green tea and wearing that patch would help in maintaining my present figure :o)

I tried them. Big waste of money. Didn't help a bit.
