Green Tea Helps You Lose Weight
One study showed that green tea stimulated an increase in metabolic rate of 4% among healthy men, meaning that they were able to burn calories more quickly. Another study showed a 17% increase in fat loss. The results are precise: drinking green tea should be included in the diet plan of anyone who is trying to lose weight.
Granted, some studies about the fat-burning power of green tea are inconclusive. But that doesn’t stop it from being included in the list of ingredients in many, many weight-loss supplements. Part of this fat-burning benefit is merely caffeine, which has long been shown to improve metabolic function. The additional beneficial compounds in green tea certainly don’t hurt.
