Green Tea for Weight Loss?
Everyone is looking for that secret little pill or 
drink that will make losing weight more effective and easy. Many people question if green tea should be used as a dietary supplement in boosting one's weight loss and helping suppress one's hunger.
Green tea has many benefits as we are learning more and more every day.
Green tea is a decent fat burner and can be found in many over the counter supplements today. So the question remains, how does green tea work and will it be effective in your weight loss goals?
Green tea is a power antioxidant. Some researchers have suggested that green tea is 200 times more effective than vitamin E. That's right, 200 times more effective in burning fat for weight loss. Green tea may be used as a sugar regulator also known as a glucose regulator. What this means in a sense is that taking green tea slows down the rise in blood sugar following a meal. Green tea's ability to help one lose weight is a result of several different factors like an increased metabolism, a positive effect on blood sugar and insulin regulation, and possibly the inhibiting of certain enzymes which are required for the processing of carbohydrates and fats. Green tea has also been shown to lower LDL levels (that's "bad" cholesterol) as well as triglyceride levels. The next question one might ask is, is it safe to take green tea with caffeine? Simply put, yes it is. You can find that many over the counter diet pills will contain caffeine and green tea or at least one if not both. Now, not to raise one's hopes that just taking green tea alone will allow for weight loss, it is important that we remember we must exercise in order to effectively take the weight off. Green tea's true effects are very minimal at best and the effects can truly only be seen with the right diet and exercise program. |
