Green Tea Diet

Green Tea:

Basics

Green Tea has been used for more than 4,000 years in Chinese culture and medicine, to treat everything from headaches to depression. More recent studies have found it to be helpful in conditions like cancer, arthritis, high cholesterol and heart disease. Green tea can also help to boost your immune system and combat all kinds of viruses.

The health benefits of green tea are beyond dispute, but how does it help you to stay slim and burn off those extra pounds? Green tea can actually help you lose weight in two ways:

Firstly, Green tea regulates blood sugar levels by reducing the amount of insulin produced. This prevents fat being stored and keeps your appetite under control.

Secondly, a 1999 study showed that Green Tea extract results in a significant increase in energy expenditure. EGCG, the main polyphenol in green tea, is an effective thermogenic which increases the metabolism of fat. This was not just as a result of the caffeine in the tea, because those who lost weight on Green Tea lost more than those who were given caffeine alone.

Diet

Just drink Green Tea with each meal. Its that simple! You should find that it helps to suppress your appetite, while increasing your metabolic rate.

Studies tend to agree that 4-5 cups a day of Green Tea is enough to get the maximum benefits. Or you can order the extract in a capsule form. If you drink it as a tea, add some honey, lemon juice and ice for a refreshing summer drink. You can even carry it in a thermos to drink wherever you are.

How To Exercise Easily

1. Take the stairs: If you work in a building with an elevator, try taking the stairs at least once a day. It may take a little bit longer, but you’ll be burning fat while you walk. This of course may not always be feasible, but try to do it at least once a day. You’ll have even better results if you completely stop using the elevator.

2. Suck it in: It sounds silly, but sucking in your stomach throughout the day can actually help tighten your abs and whittle your waist. No one even has to know you’re doing it. Just suck in your stomach for five minutes of time
