It has been said many times that drinking Green Tea is an effective way to lose weight. This is no myth either. You might not lose hundreds of pounds, but you will certainly lose a few without the need to change anything else in your lifestyle.

Green tea increases your metabolic rate which is known to burn calories and fat. Green tea contains essential antioxidants as well as polyphenois which helps block glucose sugars in cells. They increase fat oxidation which enhances the fat burning process in your body. Green tea also contains epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) which is a type of catechin and has been known to alter hormone levels. This in turn suppresses the appetite and promotes weight loss. If you are trying to lose weight, it seems that drinking 2 to 3 cups of Green tea a day can help.
