If I drink 3 cups of green tea per day, will I lose weight?
I’m on a diet too. & exercising. But I wanna speed up my weight loss a little bit. Will I lose weight drinking 3 cups of (Tazo) green tea per day? K thanks [:
Ugh I know. I’m gonna be eating healthier from now on & watching my weight. It’s not temporary- it’s a lifestyle. Yadayadayada, yeah. Mkay.
While green tea does have some properties that help speed your metabolism slightly, drinking green tea alone will not cause you to loose weight. I’ve done lots of my own research on the topic and successfully lost 23 lbs in 2 1 2/ months and have kept it off for 2 years now… and I didn’t do one stitch of exercise!
What I’ve learned is that the primary key to loosing weight is your metabolism. Your metabolism has to burn more calories and fat that you take in. When you don’t eat often enough, your body basically thinks it’s not getting what it needs and it "stores" the fat for later use if needed (but usually never needs it because you keep in taking more and more but in large qty’s fewer times a day). In my research I found several key factors that contributed to my own success.
1. Eating 5-6 small meals a day rather than 1 or 2 big meals a day will speed up your metabolism. And always start with breakfast! It’s important to kick start your metabolism right off the bat and keep it going strong all day. My own schedule was to eat breakfast at 8 am (at my desk), a snack at 10 am, luch at noon, a snack at 2 pm sometimes a snack at 4 or 5 pm and then dinner around 7 pm.
2. Protein speeds your metabolism too. Choose items that are high in protein but low in calorie/fat. I always started my day with something like a bagel with fat free cream cheese, a bran cereal with reduced fat milk, a toasted muffin with reduced fat peanut butter, oatmeal with reduced fat milk mixed in, a couple of boiled eggs or something like that since dairy is high in protein. Chicken and turkey are also very high in protein so I often chose those main dishes with chicken or turkey for lunch and/or dinner. I got hooked on huge toss salads with grilled chicken! I also would eat lots of grilled fish.
*My snacks were fruits, cold veggies and fat free ranch (for taste and protein), sugar free jello which is really very good and cures a sweet tooth, low cal fat free yogurt (more protein), pretzels, or other low cal/low fat items.
3. I also found that WATER is very important. Water helps flush the fat cells from your body. Drinking eight 8oz glasses a day is the recommended to MAINTAIN your body weight but to loose weight if you drink 1 oz of water for every 2 lbs you weigh then it washes out additional fat cells. I would buy one bottle of water every morning and then refill it all day long… "trying" to drink 1 bottle every hour or 2. Adding lemon to it will help with the taste and the lemon is also a natural diuretic which helps your body not to retain the water at all (you will urinate more often).
It is hard to remember to eat and most of the time your not hungry but I promise, it works! My co-workers made fun of me for eating all the time and then when I lost the weight they all joined the band wagon and copied my plan and did it too… and all lost weight!

Which is healthier for you, Green Tea or Chai Tea?
green tea. chai tea is just tea with spices in it, so if you think the spices are healthy for you, then i guess chai would be, but usually chai has lots of calories.

Health Benefits of A Green Tea fast?
I’m hoping to try a 7 day fast. I HATE juice so that’s out of the question, but drink loads of tea ( unsweetened, usually without milk, though I’ll add a bit of honey and soy milk to a chai tea as a treat ). What are the health benefits of fasting for a one week period? I’m not doing this for weight loss ( 5"2, 107.. obviously don’t need to lose, I’m a 19 year old female if it helps), I’m just curious as to what kinds of benefits it would bring, and I will be moving out quite soon so I won’t have the option of experimenting this way when I’m home alone, as I will have loads of errands to run, as well as loads of school and work. I’ll probably stop running for that week ( usually 7km a night ) and maybe just stretch or do light yoga. What types of benefits can I hope to see from a short term fast? I don’t eat junk food or meat (Vegetarian), but are there still benefits to cleansing like this?
And should I substitute Green Tea for something else? I usually only sweeten two cups a day with a bit of splenda ( the equivalent of two teaspoons of sugar in sweetness ), the rest are just plain.
I’ve heard that it can help clear the digestive tract of waste, help mental clarity, regulate appetite, and can help your taste buds " re-familiarize" themselves with taste, ect. Just looking for confirmation/things that I’d have missed researching. The Green tea is just because I like the taste better than plain water.
I’d never fast for weight loss at all let alone at this weight, there really would be no point.
