Can You Lose Weight With The Benefits Of Green Tea?

By Andrew Jackson


I have this personal unbelievable story about how I lost weight just by drinking green tea. Before I started drinking tea I use to weigh about 190 pounds. Three months later, I had lost 30 pounds. Just how simple is that? Virtually anyone can do what I did, just with little effort.

There is a catch though. It is very simple, I just gave up 2 of my favorite daily beverages that contain a lot of empty calories and sugar. Coffee and soda, that's it! Instead of drinking soda for lunch, I drank tea or water. For hot days, tea can be poured over ice too. For breakfast, I drank regular caffeinated tea and quit drinking coffee. So how does green tea help you lose weight?

Catechins is an antioxidant found in green tea. The catechins boost a person's basal metabolic rate. Increasing your basal metabolic rate will make your body lose more calories naturally, without any exercise. Additional benefits of green tea are preventing heart disease, fighting cancer, and decreasing bad cholesterol.

Exercise was another secret to losing the weight. Just simple exercise like speed walking or a light run for about 20 to 30 minutes is good enough. If you have bad knees, I would recommend riding a bike or a stationary bike too. After you improve your stamina level, I would add more physical exercises like jumping jacks, push-ups, and sit-ups.

The combination of drinking green tea and doing simple exercise help me achieve to lose fat and weight. 4 to 5 cups a day is necessary in order to bring your basal metabolic rate up. You can also buy caffeine-free tea to drink in the evenings or nights for those sensitive to caffeine. I hope this article will encourage you to start drinking tea, not just for losing weight, but for the many other benefits it provides.
