One Of The Benefits Of Green Tea Is Losing Weight

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.

Another step to losing the weight, was doing very simple exercises. I would go for speed walks for about 20 to 30 minutes. I would recommend jogging for greater results, but since some people have bad knees like myself, I prefer exercises that are easy on the joints. Once you increase your cardiovascular endurance, I challenge you to do jumping jacks, sit-ups, and push-ups.

In order to lose weight and burn fat, you must drink 4 to 5 cups of green tea. I would suggest drinking decaf tea in the evenings to keep you from not sleeping at night. Also, don't forget to get daily but easy cardiovascular exercise. Remember that green tea increases your basal metabolic rate so it is important to drink tea daily. Thank you for reading this article, I hope it will motivate you to start drinking green tea for many several health benefits other than losing weight.
