It is well known that green tea helps weight loss. In fact research in Japan has proven that consuming green tea daily helps to burn fat, boost metabolism and aid weight loss.

Green Tea can boost your metabolism because it contains powerful antioxidants called catechin polyphenols, these antioxidant together with epigallocatechin gallate (or EGCG for short), have been found to not only stimulate the metabolism but accelerate weight loss.

EGCG

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG for short), along with the caffeine in green tea, produces a process known as “thermogenesis” or heat production, by influencing enzymes the metabolic process, which provides extra energy, sheds excess water, and helps to burn body fat.

EGCG seems to increase the amount of calories burned throughout the day for all activities, from digesting food to climbing stairs to typing. It is the key component in green tea that contributes to fat burning and weight loss.

Green Tea & Weight Loss

Green tea as a supplement for weight loss is by far one of the best natural supplements on the market to help you lose weight.

There are two ways in which you can use green tea. You can use it either as a tea or as a supplement in capsule form. Needless to say taking it in capsule form means that you will receive a higher potency when compared to the tea as it it more concentrated. If you are going to take a supplement the recommended dose is 1 or 2 500mg capsules twice a day.

Because green tea acts as a stimulant and boosts your metabolism to burn fat it is advised that you take one capsule in the morning and one early afternoon, say around 3.p.m. so that it does not interfere with your sleep patterns and keep you awake all night! And always ensure that you take the capsules with a meal.

However not all green tea capsules are created equal and some may include other stimulant ingredients. Wherever possible try and purchase pure green tea. There are two on the market that offer pure green tea and they are Primaforce Lean Green and Troo's green tea extract.

Another great benefit of green tea capsules is that they also act as an appetite suppressant, and lowers your food intake, which means that you will lose more weight. However, to be really effective the capsules have to contain green tea extract.

Finally, green tea is a great supplement that can help you lose weight, and whilst you will lose weight by taking a green tea supplement, you will lose a greater amount of weight if you follow a weight reducing diet and include a little exercise at the same time.

Taking a green tea supplement will change your normal eating habits and encourage you to adopt alternative healthier choices which you can continue to use even when you have lost all the weight you want.
