Green tea weight loss is a fairly new concept that has hit the market. We have long known green tea for its power to keep us alert and focused but it is now known that it lowers cholesterol, oxidizes fats and increases the thermo genesis within the body-or its ability to burn calories at a high rate of speed. Drinking green tea regularly (5-6 cups daily) will increase metabolism as well as help burn fat.
Another aid for dieters that green tea possesses is its ability to causes carbohydrates to be released more slowly. This prevents the sharp increase in blood-insulin levels and promotes instead, the burning of body fat, and it does so even while we sleep.

Weight is put on when the intake of sugars, empty carbohydrates and fats are stored in fat cells. In green tea weight loss obesity is prevented by the teas ability to inhibit the movement of glucose into fat cells.

Because of the high levels of polyphenols in green tea the body is able to speed up its heat production (known as thermo genesis) which in turn speeds up the metabolic process. What is taking place is an increase in the amount of calories burned whether you are active or not. This melting factor does not work overnight, but it does work in conjunction with the body in a natural manner and when combined with other healthy tools will deliver results.
The green tea weight loss program works at its peak when the dieter combines drinking 4-6 cups of tea a day in conjunction with a daily green tea extract tea supplement-usually in capsule form. It is important to do a little research and find a good product because some brands use more of the extract is their formula than others.

When choosing a diet plan choose one that offer variety as well as flexibility. You want to concentrate on complex carbohydrates (vegetables, legumes, peas), simple carbohydrates (fruits), lean proteins (soy products, fish, poultry, legumes) and a variety of nuts and seeds. These foods will make sure you get all the nutrients needed for health and to work with the tea as it burns fat.
Eat three small meals and a couple of well balanced snacks throughout the day incorporating your tea as well. Exercise several days a week choosing activities that hold your interest as well as helping your body to slim down. Drink plenty of water.
