Green Tea Weight Loss

Green Tea Weight Loss


Many people are now turning to natural green tea weight loss plans to help them in their weight control efforts. It is simple too. Green tea can be taken like any other tea, hot or cold, usually without milk or sweeteners.

Research has shown that green tea helps to reduce weight by stimulating the body's thermogenesis process, which increases the expenditure of energy and the oxidization of fat in the body. Many compounds found in plants have this effect.

There are only two ways to lose weight: one way is by eating less (consuming fewer calories) and the other is by increasing expenditure of energy (using up more calories). Green tea works by increasing output.

Green tea has the added benefit of containing powerful antioxidants that may be beneficial to your health in many ways, strengthening the immune system and protecting against disease.
At the same time you will need to exercise control in what you eat. If you eat more to compensate for the calories that are burnt by the tea, you will not lose any weight.

Keeping to the same calorific intake that you have now. Taking green tea should result in gradual weight loss and better energy levels over a few weeks. You can of course increase the speed of this by reducing calorie consumption and/or increasing exercise.

Green tea is a great weight control aid that can easily be incorporated into any weight loss program. Natural green tea should be a feature in your program if you want to keep the weight off permanently.
