Diet with Green Tea to Lose Weight
Drinking green tea to lose weight is a natural way to help shed unwanted pounds, lower cholesterol, and maintain good physical well being! There is evidence that a chemical found in ordinary green tea, epigallocatechin gallate, may assist with weight loss - call it EGCG for short (green tea fat burners).
A diet with green tea has been used for centuries in Asian countries. Green tea is produced by steaming fresh leaves. This production process results in higher content of polyphenols like EGCG, which is a flavonol. Black teas which are made with fermented leaves, have only 3-10% polyphenols, while green tea has 30-40%.
Because of its high polyphenols, green tea is associated with all manner of health benefits, from improving blood pressure to lowering cancer risk.
The calorie-burning properties of green tea are in the ability of EGCG to influence enzymes in the metabolic process. This means that EGCG appears to increase the metabolism and the amount of calories burned throughout the day for all activities, however, the effect is not likely to melt pounds off overnight. Green tea diet supplements contain green tea extract which have concentrated EGCG level and proven to be more effective for weight loss.
Try green tea for fat loss. If you want to add green tea to your diet plan, keep in mind it also contains caffeine, though a lot less than coffee.
