Maximize Your Weight Loss with Green Tea

While green tea isn’t a magical ingredient that causes weight loss, it can help you maximize your weight-loss efforts by boosting your metabolism and reducing your appetite. While many teas offer great nutrients that help prevent and fight diseases, green tea is especially popular for its many benefits.

Research has shown that epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the active component in green tea, is excellent for treating bladder, prostate, cervix, and brain cancer. EGCG also can treat multiple medical problems, such as endometriosis, neurodegeneration, HIV, chronic fatigue syndrome, spinal muscular atrophy, and sjogren’s syndrome. It’s also known to help promote weight loss.

Studies show that the EGCG in green tea may help::

  • Increase the body’s fat excretion
  • Increase fat oxidation and metabolism
  • Inhibit the development of fat cells

If you want to maximize your weight loss results, how much green tea do you need to drink? Here’s a look the benefits of drinking one, two, or three cups of green tea daily. Below you will find the benefits for one, two, and three cups of green tea per day.

Drinking 1 Cup of Green Tea for Weight Loss

Lose a pound of fat!
Simply start replacing a cup of soda or your non-fat latte with one cup of green tea and you’ll begin saving at least 150 calories daily. Since green tea is nearly calorie free, researchers from John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health estimate that you can lose approximately a pound over six months.

BONUS: Stabilized Blood Sugar Levels

Studies done by the Journal of American College Nutrition showed that consuming a cup of green tea daily can help keep blood sugar levels stabilized when the tea is combined with exercise at least three days each week.

When you improve glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, the body can more efficiently use its energy, which will help you lose weight or keep your weight at a healthy level.


Drinking 2 Cups of Green Tea to Lose Weight

Give your metabolism a boost!
Drinking two cups of green tea each day provides your body with essential minerals, such as zinc, selenium, chromium, and manganese. Two cups of green tea can also help prolong the fat burning accelerating hormone known as norepinephrine.

Increase your motivation!
An important amino acid, theanine, is found in green tea, and it’s been found to help improve alertness. However, it won’t cause the jitters, like caffeine often does. The theanine may also help to increase the levels of serotonin and dopamine in the brain.

These important neurotransmitters aid the brain and body with learning, sleep, mood, cognition, appetite, motivation, and memory.

BONUS: Prevents Heart Disease
Some research has shown that after you drink two cups of green tea, 30 minutes later the circulatory system’s endothelia cells dilate. This helps the veins and arteries relax, aiding in proper nutrient assimilation and blood flow. Just two cups of green tea daily are enough to reverse endothelial dysfunction.



Tips for Making the Most of Green Tea

  • Dunk green tea bags several times before you consume your tea to extra more of EGCG, the fat burning component.
  • Add some lime or lemon to the tea to help with antioxidant absorption in the digestive system.
  • Make sure you only steep green tea bags once, since they lose their antioxidants after a single use.


    Drinking 3 Cups of Green Tea to Blast Fat

    Drop 11 pounds of fat!
    One scientific study found that three cups of green tea daily, along with a little low-fat milk, can help you burn as much as 106 calories each day when you drink three cups of the green tea three days in a row. If you have three cups of the tea each day of the year, you’ll burn an extra 38,000 calories, which adds up to 11 pounds of fat loss.

    Blast away belly fat!
    According to the Journal of Nutrition, combining exercise with three cups of green tea each day will help burn belly fat. After just three days of exercising, the body will start burning fat, although results were not seen until three months later.

    Enjoy 17% more fat loss!
    The ECGC in green tea can help you burn off more fat when you engage in moderate intensity cardiovascular exercise. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, your fat burning potential increases by 17% during a 30-minute cardio exercise session after consuming 366 mg of EGCG.



    BONUS: Strong, Healthy Bones
    Strength training is known to help improve bone strength, but drinking three cups of green tea daily can also help you enjoy stronger healthier bones. Studies show that the fluoride, phytoestrogens, and caffeine found in green tea can improve bone density.


    Use Green Tea with Caution

    Most adults will find that green tea is very safe. However, you should not have more than five cups of green tea each day. Drinking more than five cups daily may result in unwanted symptoms, such as irregular heartbeat, convulsions, dizziness, vomiting, headaches, insomnia, tremors, confusion, irritability, and heartburn. This may occur due to the high amount of caffeine intake.

    In small doses, green tea has the potential to cause constipation and an upset stomach. It may also interact with some medications. Before you begin drinking green tea daily, make sure you talk to your physician if you are pregnant, lactation or on prescription medications.

      @Arshi,
      Drinking green tea only helps with your metabolism while reducing your appetite. It all depends on yourself actually on how much determination you have in order to lose some extra pounds. By incorporating green tea with your healthy diet and regular exercise, I’m confident that you will shed weight in no time.
