Green Tea

godsbeloved79 · 01-17-2005, 08:36 AM

Has anyone ever tried it?? How has it worked for you? Would you use it again? I seen a classmate that had lost a numerous amount of weight; although she hits the gym she gave the green tea alot of credit for the lost....

rdolldee · 01-17-2005, 09:12 AM

Yes I heard green tea does help with weight loss i was watching Oprah I doctor on her show said you can lose 10 pounds in a month if you watch your carbs and drink green teas it is also concentrated in a pill that you can take once a day instead of drinking hope this helps

godsbeloved79 · 01-17-2005, 11:31 AM

I decided to get the tea bags. If it tastes bad then I will switch to the pills. I thought the drink would be more effective then the pills. So I will keep you posted on my results and thank you again for your help... lol

The doctor who recommended taking green tea is Dr. Nicolas Pericone. He is a dermatologist. He said that if you stop drinking coffee and start drinking green tea you can lose the 10pds in 6 wks. If you're anemic you shouldn't drink it, but it does raise your metabolism, give you pretty skin, and elevate your mood.

Hello Every1! I bought some Green Tea yesterday after reading this post. Would love to hear some of the great benefits from this. It taste very bitter, but I have a slight cold. I am scared to add equal. So if anyone has any good news with Green Tea. Please let me know. Thanks, Kim

Green tea also lowers your risk of cancer by helping to eliminate the "free radicals" that are in your body - Green tea is also good for your teeth because it nutralises ( spelling) the acid from plaque etc. It's good stuff. I've been doing Atkins since Dec, 2002 and I truley believe that the Green Tea helps. If you look at the label on the Atkins Accel tablets - green tea is a major ingredient.

Drink at least two cups a day to feel a difference.

P.S. -Try Splenda instead of Equal. It's better for you.

J'sGirl · 01-21-2005, 08:32 AM

Thank you for the info. I will try to drink atleast 2 cups a day and use splenda. Splenda will not effect the nutrients will it? Thanks again, Kim

zukpr · 01-24-2005, 07:37 AM

No affect at all.
Good luck girl!

Sorry it took me so long to post to your messages. My computer didn't alert me that there were post. Well I have been drinking green tea for a week and the benefit that I get from it is that I have normal bowel movements and I feel lighter as times goes by. I believe that it is healthy for me in many ways. I do not use any sweetners though.. I like the bitter taste; because the benefits are great...

Have a great day....

J'sGirl · 01-24-2005, 10:57 AM

What brand Green Tea does every1 use? I bought Lipton's. I am sitting here laughing this is the only place I know where we can talk about bowel movements..LOL, but I need the Green tea then even if that is all the benefits I get...

andipandi · 01-24-2005, 03:42 PM

We buy ours at the asian grocery store....much cheaper then the regular store. If you are used to bags just let it steep until the leaves sink to the bottom (about 5 minutes if you use boiling water.)

This has been found to not only increase ones metabolism, but also to increase dopamine levels. They are now experimenting with alzheimer patients who have lower levels of dopamine then the average person. It has been found to increase concentration, attention and general mental clarity.

I find I can only drink one or two weak cups a day before it starts churning in my stomach.

godsbeloved79 · 01-27-2005, 02:23 PM

I get Basics Organics from GNC or BADIA from Publix. It has been a blessing to me.

plavala · 02-25-2005, 08:20 AM

Hi, I drink alot of green tea but mostly decaf. The caffeinated tea dries me out . Does the caffeine have some effect with the green tea for weightloss or is it just the green tea??

singpraise · 02-25-2005, 12:21 PM

Hi, i've been taking green tea capsules. I find they give me more energy and my skin does look better. I ran out a few days ago and I didn't get to the store until yesterday, I feel better already after being on it a day. I can't tolerate the drink. I hate the taste. i have to make sure I don't take too many pills in a day (usually 2) if I go over it upsets my stomach.

godsbeloved79 · 02-28-2005, 06:57 AM

I think the ingredients in the Green Tea have much to do with the weight loss; I try to get decaf as well.

Congrats on reaching your goal a week earlier than planned!!!
