Does drinking green tea regularly help me lose weight? Is it a healthy way to lose weight?
Mar 25, 2013

Dr. Thierry Yazbek Surgery
Green tea – how true is this ‘green tea for weight loss’ claim? Over the last decade, several health studies have looked into the health benefits of green tea. Most of these studies are inconclusive and most results are tabulated under ‘potential health’ benefits. Green tea benefits weight loss, because it boosts metabolism, aid fat oxidation. While green tea may boost metabolism; this is not enough to make one lose weight fast, unless one complement it with physical workouts ...
There was a study in which it was seen that green tea caused only about 0.3% reduction in body weight in a 12 week period, so that would be only about 0.27 kg weight loss for someone who weighs 90 kgs in 3 months, which is insignificant and disappointing to say the least.
So if you need to lose weight, look at the bigger picture, and start eating foods that help your body, and get regular exercise to boost your metabolism for real, and of course get adequate sleep and keep your stress levels low.
