Green tea how does it make you lose weight?

Thank you. I understand what you are saying. Tea has the opposite effect of the food we eat, as it reverses the weight gain caused by the acid in what we eat.

wel I wouldnt want to take the pill an d drink the tea at the same time I would leave off the pill adn drink the tea one day and swap out. I dont know thoose that holler and screm get something else wrong with them.. I dont know how I got it for I do my share of hollering around here have to to get any thing done lol hugs

I know some people who took everything in them and got cancer. Me, I would never get it because I am not afraid to speak my mind. But there are people who do make others sick. You and I scream when there is something wrong, but these others do it all the time.

I suppose with anything it depends on the type of cancer, and also I have heard that some people take their problems internally and that encourages the cancer to grow, so those nasty people who shout and scream at everyone do not get cancer. I took some diet pills with green tea and other stuff in it, and it worked, but I like a nice cup of tea and it is hard to be told you cannot drink any while taking them as there is too much caffeine.

I use green tea and have not had a cold so far. Of course, I also have this weird concoction of hot lemon with honey, ginger, cayenne pepper, fennel seed and I drink this herb tea, so I guess it is a combination. I do not put sugar in my green tea. I heard that sugar is bad for you, although I will put a little honey when I drink herb teas. I do have some without replies. This one, but the pain was on my right side, but just in case it switches, you can answer it. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1023798.aspx And this one has one answer only. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1353238.aspx Plus this one has only one answer: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1350381.aspx I do not know if you can answer these, but it would help.

I just came to you response, I think if you drink the Green Tea with caffiene you could get addicted, just like coffee, you think?

I drink four cups a day. As for addiction, I have not heard about that factor, but if one does not have an addictive personality, you will not be. I also drink herb tea as well for a change of pace. Oh and drinking four or more cups a day prevents arthritis so I really should drink at least four cups.

That sounds good. I do not know if we can get some at our regular grocery store, so I will have to see. I know I can get it in Tetley Tea, but that contains a little sodium and I already have water weight.

I heard about the antioxidents, but not that it speeeds up your metabolism. I did not know about the vitamins, I will have to check the box of tea I have. I suppose it depends on what brand you buy.

Thank you for your comment. I didn't know that loose tea was better then bag tea. i will have to give loose tea a try thank you.

well, is it any wonder, then, that the people of the orient tend to be of a healthy weight? all this time I thought it was the brown rice.

Thank you. It does work, but I have to have at least four cups a day for it to be effective.

I do not need green tea to make me go to the washroom. All I have to do is to look at water, and it could be that I have water retention and the green tea gets rid of that, which makes me annoy because I want it to flush away the fat instead. But instead it goes straight to getting rid of my excess water and bypasses my fat.

Same to you, but the discussion was about what makes green tea good at helping people lose weight.

I always gain in winter, and I find it hardest to lose weight around my waist and stomach. I can always tell by the way my face sort of becomes rounder. I cannot walk that fast in winter, because of the snow and even shoveling it does not help. I have always been a stocky person so even a little weight gain is bad, so I need all the help I can get.

That is nice to know. I buy green tea at the groceries, and before it was because we were eating Chinese, but now I have it all the time.

Thank you. I was wondering about the effects green tea has. I had no idea about the compounds or whether it burns body fat or not. I did take some diet pills with green tea in it, plus other fat burning and it did cause me to lose weight, but I must have been allergic to one of the ingredients because I got dizzy. I have a slow metabolism anyway, so I guess I have to buy two packages of green tea at a time, not just one.

I do have a lot of water weight and I am always going to the bathroom, but I wish I could lose the fat weight.

I have to do way more walking. It seems in winter I cannot get out as much and I work at my computer and cannot lose weight that way. I tried a little dancing, but even with that, my heart beat stayed the same and did not speed up. I am the type of person who has to move very fast to lose anything, but I am unable to, which makes it very hard.

I have heard of that weight loss tea, but I just use the ordinary green tea you get in the store. I do not have trouble not getting to sleep because I am a light sleeper anyway.
