(drinking lots of green tea)

is it dangerous? what is the theory behind it? how well does it work?

The Green Tea diet is not a liquid fad diet where you drink green tea morning, noon, and night to lose weight. The properties of green tea have been shown to speed up the metabolism of the person drinking it. It’s almost like eating a really hot pepper. The body goes through a thermogenic reaction. Heat is released and the body’s metabolism gets a jumpstart. You don’t have to only drink tea to get this reaction.

Green tea works in conjunction with the body. Adding green tea to your healthy eating plan is enough to enjoy the effects of the ingredients in the tea. Drinking the tea reduces the appetite too. The blood sugar remains stable when green tea is drank on a regular basis. Essentially, it helps you to feel full longer and keeps you from being hungry all the time.

Carbohydrates that aren’t used for energy by the body are stored as fat. This process occurs each day. Green tea is also thought to block the storage of carbohydrates as fat for a short time. When a person drinks green tea, the body allows a bigger window for the consumption of carbohydrates for fuel by the body and less gets stored as fat. The length of time is not certain but any help to keep fat from depositing itself on our frame is beneficial.

I am male, 16, on a diet, i jog and i herd green tea helps boost weight loss and i want to try it, and drink 1 cup a day for like a week or so, to try it to help me loose weight.

Green Tea alone is not harmful but you have to watch it with any of the "Dieter's Teas" because these may have additives. Meaning, that's not just Green Tea. Some of these products contain ingredients that can actually speed up your heart rate, etc. This alone is dangerous but if you have issues with your heart, blood pressure, etc., whether diagnosed or not, this can be fatal. Read the labels carefully or,better yet, don't use the dieter's type, just regular Green Tea bags by someone like Lipton or get the bottled stuff.

I don't know much about diluting green tea in soda. It seems over the top to me. Maybe you just need a green tea supplement that you don't have to taste. If so, check this out…

Green Tea is a product that has been growing in popularity for a couple years now. Typical of ancient herbs from the Chinese culture, Green Tea is loaded with healthy nutrients like antioxidants that will give you energy, assist with weight loss, and fight a number of diseases.

Now we have an even better product called Enhanced Green Tea. Just 1 serving of Enhanced Green Tea contains as much nutrients as 1 gallon of brewed green tea.

Studies suggest that green tea extract may boost metabolism and help burn fat. One study confirmed that the combination of green tea and caffeine improved weight loss and maintenance in overweight and moderately obese individuals. Some researchers speculate that substances in green tea known as polyphenols, specifically the catechins, are responsible for the herb's fat-burning effect.

The benefits of green tea are numerous. In fact, if you were to go to PubMed.com and do a search for green tea, you'd find over 2,000 studies performed on green tea and its components (eg, EGCG, theanine, vitamin E, etc…).

Possible benefits are being investigated for weight loss, cancer prevention, antioxidant activity, cognitive enhancement, general good health and well being… and the list goes on and on.

You can order a free trial of Enhanced Green Tea from the source link below. So far all I've heard is that the Enhanced Green Tea supplement is helping people to feel great. It provides more energy and antioxidants than you would normally get from drinking cups of tea all day.

Does regular green tea have more vitiams than diet ?
how do they get all the calories out does it get rid of some of the nutrition in it?
what about the hot green tea bags and the cold powder mix with water
R they the same pretty much? which is better?

there are no calories in tea in its natural state, no carbs, no sugars
if you consume a drink that contains a sugar substitute that has no calories your body will think that you are getting sugar and release insulin into your blood stream, which increases your appetite because when the body thinks it's getting sugar it will also beleive that it's getting calories to use as energy. once it realizes there are no calories with the sugar it will start to demand calories, increasing your appetite and decreasing your metabolism.

For thousands of years the Chinese have claimed many health benefits can be gained from drinking teas. In fact, many international, Canadian and U.S. based tea drinkers agree that Chinese teas should be the beverage of choice.

In fact, during a recent survey conducted by the Canadian Tea Council, over 40% of Canadians agreed that they drank tea for its “health benefits” and others stated that it “tasted great, had no calories or fat and can help you take better care of yourself.”

Only in recent years has the medical community jumped on the Chinese tea bandwagon. Now, researchers are conducting numerous studies on the viability of Chinese tea extracts in the treatment and prevention of many diseases and conditions. The most common types of Chinese teas are:

• Green tea
• Red tea
• White tea
• Black tea
• Oolong tea
• Pu-erh tea
• Flower tea
• Yellow tea
• Pressed tea
• Iron Buddha
• Kudin tea

However, of these eleven types, scientists seem most concerned with learning about green, red, white, and black tea. Here’s a little background about these teas:

Each of them come from the same plant Camellia sinensis but are merely picked at different stages of development and fermented or oxidized for different periods of time.

The differences in oxidation and development allow for more or less of a certain kind of antioxidants in them often called catechins. Antioxidants have been shown to help protect the body from all kinds of damage.

Lucky for us, some of the claimed benefits look like they really exist. For instance, Chinese teas may help lower and maintain your cholesterol levels.

A recent study looked at the possibility that the antioxidants in Chinese teas, specifically called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) could affect diet induced Hypercholesterolemia in rats.

Hypercholesterolemia is high levels of LDL or ‘bad’ cholesterol in the blood. This in of itself isn’t a disease but it can cause heart diseases, such as Atherosclerosis or ‘hardening of the arteries.’

In the study, laboratory rats were divided into four groups. These groups were all given a diet high in cholesterol and fat along with no EGCG, 0.2 grams EGCG, 0.4 grams EGCG and 0.7 grams EGCG per group on a daily basis.

The rats were given the same diet for four weeks. After this time it was found that the levels of bad cholesterol in the rats given 0.7 grams EGCG was significantly reduced compared to the levels of bad cholesterol in the control group of rats given no EGCG at all.

In addition, the rats were given a sample liquid meal high in cholesterol and it was observed that cholesterol absorption in the intestines in the group of rats given the most EGCG was significantly reduced (62.7%) compared to the control group with no EGCG (79.3%).

In essence, the study demonstrated that the cholesterol in the food the EGCG rats were given wasn’t being absorbed into their bodies as readily it normally would be, thus preventing it from getting into the bloodstream.

Researchers speculated that the EGCG interfered with the solubility of the cholesterol in the digestive tract so that it couldn’t be absorbed.

Another study of laboratory rats had similar results. This study used the extracts from Green tea, Jasmine, Iron Buddha, Oolong and Pu-erh teas in examining their effects on hypercholesterolemia in rats.

Jasmine tea is made from a mixture of Jasmine flowers and Oolong or black tea leaves. Oolong tea is fermented or oxidized to a level between green tea and black tea in taste.
Pu-erh is a tea made from tea leaves that are fermented and then aged for as many as 50 years. Iron Buddha tea is an Oolong tea noted for a particularly fine flavor.

This group of rats was given a high cholesterol diet for one week before receiving the different tea extracts in their respective groups along with a continued high cholesterol diet for eight weeks.

All the teas were found to lower the atherogenic index and increase the total ‘good’ vs. ‘bad’ cholesterol ratio in the rats.

The green tea and the Jasmine tea extracts contained higher levels of EGCG than the other extracts and it was found that they had significantly lowered the cholesterol levels in the rats compared to the other tea extracts.

The teas also worked to reduce the average increase in liver size of the rats due to lipid disposition while they were on their high cholesterol diets.
