Green Tea Weight Loss
Green tea has been the center of a recent explosion of weight loss products and promotions, some have been advertising on Steepology, and I try to block them but a new one pops up everyday which is beyond my control. The marketers are focusing on the fact that green tea boosts your metabolism, they neglect to tell you that the boost in your metabolism is quite negligible. To lose a pound a week a person must cut their calorie intake by over 3500 calories a week, but drinking 5 cups of green tea a day for a week allows you to burn only 70-90 calories. 70 - 90 calories off of your regular calorie intake is definitely a positive thing considering every calorie counts. However just drinking green tea alone will not cut the fat as many of these products claim. A conscious change in a current lifestyle is required to cut the fat that has been gained by living and eating a certain way. We all would like to think that there is a quick and easy way to reverse the effects of an unhealthy diet, but aside from drastic and expensive surgery this is not possible. I hope readers will take this into consideration before purchasing any of the green tea weight loss products offered on the internet right now, hopefully reading this will save you time, money, and the distress of a failed diet. If you are serious about losing weight, we recommend entering a training program at your local gym, matched with a balanced diet with an appropriate calorie consumption for your activity level. Be wary of wu yi slimming teas and weight loss teas parading as one fix wonders to your weight struggles. Don’t stop drinking tea and keep visiting the blog!

Wow… what an interesting blog!
On your posting here… we have found in our studies on the website that we are busy building that indeed drinking only green tea can indeed assist with weight loss but not necessarily at high speed.
Please feel free to visit our website at any time if you need more articles or interesting stuff 
I can’t wait to come back for more!

This is a great post, and one that is very relevant these days! I love that you have pointed out that consuming green tea is NOT the only way to achieve weight loss. Losing weight and keeping it off requires a serious commitment…one that involved changing your daily routine to include more exercise, portion control of meals, consuming less calories, and eating a healthy diet. So drinking tea (any and all kinds!) is definitely a great step in the right direction, but only one of many!

Great post! I agree while there are many products that assist with weight loss only surgical procedures provide the immediate benefits. It is important that people recognize the need to change their entire lifestyle. Lack of exercise, eating habits, sleep patterns, and stress as well as many other factors contribute to weight management. I am excited to see the truth in print!

Great Post! I use green tea to aid in weight loss as well. However, it isn’t a magic drink by any means. It only helps a small amount for me.

This is such an important thing. No amount of tea or anything for that matter can make you loose weight if you don’t curb other bad habits also. Thanks for an interesting read.

My favorite thing about using Tea for weight loss is that it increases metabolism even when at rest here is a study on it: http://www.asian-tea.info/effect-of-green-tea-on-resting-energy-expenditure-and-substrate-oxidation-during-weight-loss-in-overweight-females/2008/09/26/
