If you’re looking for a simple and rather pleasant way to lose weight, drinking green tea may just be your answer!
There are many different weight loss suggestions floating around. Eat nutritious foods. Exercise daily. But, what about a suggestion that doesn’t take any work or planning? What about one that actually refreshes your soul as much as it helps your body take off that excess weight?
1. Make drinking tea a habit. In order to fully get the advantages of tea, you’ll need to drink it everyday, as often as possible and plain. How can you drink it if it’s not convenient, tasty and easy?
The easiest way to get started is to have “tea supplies”. If you happen to spend 8 hours at work everyday then stocking tea is good idea as well as having your favorite mug and kettle.
Sugar, cream and milk should not be part of your tea routine. To lose weight on this habit, your tea should be plain (or at least at most of the time).
2. Substitute morning coffee with tea. Instead of coffee, start your day with a cup of fresh tea. You can also save calories when ordering at a coffee house. Some coffeehouse drinks contains hundreds of calories unlike tea, what you see is what you get.
It is important that you drink your tea straight. Addition of milk to tea will neutralize it’s fat-stomping ability. Research also says that skim milk is the worst. This research is on cow’s milk. You can try almond or soy milk but it may had the same effect of what have mentioned above.
3. Drink unsweetened iced tea for lunch or dinner instead of soda. Diet sodas has been said to actually have the opposite effect on weight loss. Sodium in diet sodas can make you retain water so choose a smarter alternative sugar-free iced tea. It is also ideal because if ever you need a caffeinated to wake you up in the middle of the afternoon, iced or hot tea will have the same effect.
Another thing about the power of drinking tea to lose weight is that you won’t be consuming anything else. Tea is low in calories (if you do it right) and will keep you from eating other higher calorie things. It has the same concept as losing weight by drinking water.
4. To satisfy an afternoon craving, have a warm cup of tea. The EGCG properties in green tea has a glucose-lowering effect which influences your craving and may help control your hunger
5. Drink a whole glass of tea before dinner. Drinking a glass of tea just right before dinner fills part of your stomach, that means you’ll be less hungry when it comes to food. Cool tea is important too. In order to be metabolized, cold tea needs to be heated up by the body. This expends more calories, in other words weight loss.
6. Drink a cup if herbal tea (decaf) before going to bed. Having a warm cup of herbal tea before going to bed helps relax your body and brain. Also, a good night sleep contributes in losing weight.
Don’t drink tea too close on your bedtime, you might end up going to the bathroom and disrupt your sleep.
7. Drink at the right time. Some specialists says that teas should be taken at different times of the day to be able to take it’s full weight loss results. Although drinking it alone is good, try taking various types of tea throughout the day to see what best works for you.
White tea may block your fat absorption, so it’s best to drink it before lunch.
Bilberry balances your glucose levels, so it’s to be taken at dinnertime.
Oolong, pu-erh and green teas may get your metabolism going, so it’s best to drink them in the morning and also throughout the day.
8. Drink it while you’re on the go. These days, life is consumed by commuting the most. Turn this chance to enjoy by drinking tea. Have a thermos with you to make it convenient.
The more you drink tea the fuller you will feel.
9. Think of your caffeine intake. Some teas has caffeine but not as much as coffee does, but if you’re drinking tea everyday it adds up.
You can just stick to herbal teas or shorten it’s brewing time. This is not really an issue to some but some are caffeine sensitive and high levels of it can lead to nervousness and insomnia.
That is what green tea does for you. It has the ability to make your weight loss seem almost effortless. Well, other than having to actually brew the water to make the tea, that is.
Why is green tea so effective at weight loss? Here are three simple reasons:
Reason #1: It makes you burn more fat
Green tea contains catechins which essentially raise your metabolism so that your body burns off more fat than it normally would. Several studies have found that individuals who added drinking green tea to their daily regimen and changed nothing else lost not only weight, but fat weight.
That is wonderful in and of itself, but add that to the fact that green tea also helps lower your risk of heart disease and cancer and it makes this one tasty beverage heads above the rest.
Reason #2: It lowers your stress levels

Although you may not ordinarily connect stress with weight issues, the two are very much related. You see, when you are under a lot of stress and feel constantly tense and anxious, your body increases its production of cortisol. Cortisol is a hormone that not only helps your body retain your fat levels, but it also promotes the retention of belly fat, which is the most dangerous fat to have.
Green tea has properties in it that help soothe your body naturally, but it is also very relaxing to sip on a cup of warm or hot tea while watching nature or simply spending time in silence. Essentially, the act of drinking it can be as soothing as the tea itself.
Reason #3: It is easy to do
When you look at a lot of weight loss suggestions, most require a bit of work. To eat healthy means that you have to go to the grocery store and buy nutritious food and then come home and cook it. Exercise, of course, takes a bit of work as well which is why a lot of people shy away from doing it on a regular basis.
But, what kind of work is there to making green tea? Not really much. Just throw the water on the stove or in the microwave, throw in the green tea and you’ve got a weight loss drink that is easy as can be. All you have to do is drink it and enjoy the benefits. How hard is that?
How Much Green Tea Should You Drink?

Health experts vary on their recommendations, but the general consensus is four or more cups a day. That may seem like a lot, but there are several ways to get it in.
Swap your morning coffee for tea and you will easily meet, if not exceed, your quota if you are a person who is a pot a day java drinker
Drink one cup in the morning and one cup after each meal to get at least four cups every day
Have two cups in the morning to get you going and two cups at night to slow you down
You can split it up any way you like, just make sure you get at least four cups in and you’ll watch the fat begin to melt off your body, like snow on a sunny spring morning.
What if You Don’t Like the Taste of Green Tea?
Admittedly, tea is a lot like coffee in that you either like it or you don’t. So, what can you do to the tea to make it more pleasing to your taste buds?
You could add some honey to it to sweeten it up and cut some of the bitterness. Honey is also very good for you as it helps ease inflammation. It’s like getting two-for-one health benefits when you add it to your green tea.
Some people choose to add artificial sweeteners to it, but I personally don’t recommend it. Although it isn’t real sugar, it has the same general reaction in your blood stream and could incite your cravings for other sweet foods that aren’t as good for you, in addition to making you feel not your best if your blood sugar gets too high and then crashes.
If you really can’t stomach the taste of it, you can always make the tea weaker and just drink more of it. We’ve talked a lot about drinking it warm or hot, but you can also drink it cold as well if that helps.
Drink green tea and you’ll easily and effortlessly lose some of those excess pounds you’ve been carrying around for far too long. So, brew yourself a cup or glass and start losing weight today!
