GREEN TEA!!

[OlsBean]

Green tea amongst other things is said to raise your metoblic rate but if it's to be believed it is only negligible, I think I read somewhere that drinking 5 cups a day MIGHT burn an additional 50 calories, hardly enough to make much of a difference!

Having said that there are additional benefits to drinking Tea. I myself when losing weight was keen to start drinking Green Tea, but I just found it too bitter and could only manage a couple of cups a day, then my wife bought me some TeaPigs Green Tea for Fathers day last year and I can honestly say it's the Best Green Tea I have had, not bitter at all, it's not the cheapest though.

HTH

I agree that TeaPigs are the best taste, just make sure you don't have any sugar with it!

The evidence around green tea and weight loss is weak. Here's a review of the evidence:nhs.uk/Livewell/superfoods/...

Hi iwanttobeslim,

I agree totally with Steve and OlsBean, the evidence is very slim, in fact more in the realm of mythology really.

However, green tea - which I happen to really like anyhow - does contain lots of anti-oxidants and white tea (white tea is a younger kind of green tea) even more so.

And, you don't take it with milk or sugar so there's no calories.

Perhaps don't see it as some sort of "wonder" food thing, but have it to refresh and hydrate yourself without having any calories.

Good luck with your weight loss journey.

Found green tea bitter my daughter suggested green tea and lemon found this very refreshing and more to my taste try tetley's lemon and green tea don't leave your tea bag in to long
