    It does work, there is a study about the perfect combination of green tee in order to loose weight, it's Jasmine pearl + sencha mixed by yourself. It boost metabolism, increases detox, increases the anti-angiogenesis (which makes your fatty tissue to dye or prevents its growth). That combined with lots of water, a healthy lifestyle and exercise is a deadly combination for fat. Once a day is OK, but if you want faster results take it right before exercise, before lunch and before going to sleep.

    Well, I've been a big green tea drinker when I was at my heaviest and when I was at my lowest. You'll see no effect on your weight loss. Calories are far more important than any potential tiny boost in metabolism.

    The only positive it will have is helping you drink more calorie-free fluids.

    "May" is not a statement of fact... it is supposition. A lot of maybes in that link ... no studies linked ... nothing peer reviewed ... it lacks science.

    Is it true that Green tea helps boost your metabolism and it good to drink while trying to lose weight???

    Nope. It's a myth. The only way to lose weight is to eat less calories than you burn.

    Nah, it's the calorie deficit that works. There are no magic properties in any type of tea, food, or anything else.

    I can't believe how many people in this thread truly believe green tea is the cause of weight loss.

    Think about it- if you're drinking green tea, or any other non-calorie drink, instead of eating, you're reducing your calorie consumption, leading to weight loss.

    So the tea along with diet, healthy lifestyle and exercise increased weight loss, but it was the tea that was really responsible? Where's the study? Increase what detox?

    He is clearly a Dr. Do not question him.
