How Green Tea Helps To Lose Weight

Most people are aware of the fact that green tea consumption has been linked to weight loss. What most people are not aware of is what it is in green tea that causes this weight loss and how green tea is actually responsible for a number of benefits to the body. This includes lower cholesterol, increased thermogenesis for a faster rate of calorie burn and enhanced oxidation of fats. Green tea provides great fat and weight loss benefits, naturally burning calories and fat and increasing metabolism. Green tea contains a high concentration of what is known as catechin polyphenols; compounds that work well with other chemicals in order to intensify the level of oxidations within the body.

If you are considering a green tea weight loss regimen, it is important for you to understand what contributes to how green tea burns fat and how you can best take advantage of green tea as a means of losing weight and fat. Drinking green tea can facilitate weight loss by affecting glucose levels. Weight is gained because excess fats and sugars are stored within the body in the form of fat cells. The catechins in green tea can prevent the onset of obesity by inhibiting how glucose moves in fat cells. EGCG or Epigallocatechin Gallate has been found in many studies to be effective for this purpose.

Herbalife Herbal Concentrate tea is a mixture of green tea, black tea and herbs to enhance its potency. Green tea by itself is a powerful antioxidant and energy booster. With the addition of enhancing herbs the mix has greater effectiveness. And also this green tea is a low-calorie tea mix. It is not just a refreshing drink but has a lot to offer to weight loss and over-all health such as:

  • Metabolic Boost - Green Tea has a natural thermogenic and energy boosting effect. The unique, clinically tested tea mix contains powerful EGCG catechins, which have been shown inhibit the body's fat storage process.
  • Heart Health - The cholesterol lowering effects of green tea have been proven in countless studies. Researchers at the University of Kansas found that EGCG catechins are twice as powerful as Resveratrol in lowering cholesterol.
  • Fat Burning - Scientists have found that the thermogenic properties of green tea promote fat oxidation far beyond that of its caffeine content alone. A study led by Dr. Dulloo at the University of Geneva concluded that men drinking green tea had a significant increase in energy expenditure, and a decreased respiration quotient over a 24 hour period.
  • Antioxidant boost - Catechin flavonoids in Herbal Concentrate helps fight damage from free radicals and support metabolism.
  • Hibiscus Flower Powder - an anti-inflammatory that has been shown to fight heart disease, lower cholesterol and is useful in treating fevers.
  • Lemon Peel extract - aids in digestion and may help reduce fat.
  • Orange Pekoe (Black Tea) - natural energy booster. Orange is a descriptive word referring to the size of the leaf.

Did You Know - Green tea has so many health benefits it has been nick-named the miracle leaf. Studies have shown that regular consumption of green tea promotes good overall health and wellness.

Secondly, have a healthy regular lunch. Avoid too much fatty foods and sweets. Try to have a healthy snack an hour or two before lunch so you will not have the tendency to eat more. I suggest fresh fruits for snack instead of junk foods. Also, drink plenty of water in between meals. You should drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day. Water acts a suppressant for your appetite and decreases your temptation to eat. This decreases your usual uptake of calories through food.
