    You would have to have a tremendous amount of tea in order to see any actual detox effects. I take a green tea extract supplement every day and it does wonders! :)

    scientific links please of studies

    My bet is you eat a a deficit too.

    The only green tea detox I do is detoxing my wallet of cash to buy a green tea latte on occasion. Much more tasty, and it keeps my kidneys and liver employed.

    I drink green tea every morning and have lost almost 60lbs!!!



    ... because I eat at a deficit. It's nothing to do with the tea.

    You mean the Master Peep Cleanse? Yeah, Tincanonastring obviously hasn't been promoting it enough lately methinks. He really needs to get the book on Kindle or something :D

    I'm a fan of the Haribo sugar free gummy bear cleanse. Best thing is, you can buy the bags in bulk!

    I drink green tea and it made me lose weight!

    I sneezed just now and that made my husband change the TV channel.

    My cat jumped on the printer yesterday and that made the phone ring.

    I was thinking about buying some new jeans and that made my sister email me a recipe for bacon-wrapped tater tots.

    My lucky rabbit's foot is going to make me win the lottery next week.

    ;)

    Uhm no.
    First off, green tea is consumed for centuries, its not a product made for scam as many modern products are, ofc green tea isnt some kind of miracle tea that works magic with losing weight but it contributes to losing weight.

    You need to eat clean and workout to have any benefits from it, then green tea can boost your metabolism but too much green tea can be bad for you.

    White tea is even healthier and have even more antioxidants than green tea.

    You're right, it is not a product made for scam. Unfortunately, people are turning it into one.

    As to the rest of the post: Nope. Whole lotta nope.

    You have to consume enormous amounts of green tea for it to cause any metabolic change. Nor do you need to 'eat clean' unless you're referring to washing your fruits and vegetables before you eat them.

    It all comes down to Calories in < Calories out.

    I don't think people are saying green tea is useless. My understanding is that it is high in antioxidants etc

    People are saying its a scam because of the bogus claims people make about it.

    Like boosting your metabolism, as if a cup a day will allow you to continue eating 500 more calories a day than you need but still lose weight.

    It's like the claim with drinking ice water or taking cold showers, sure there might be some calories burned to heat the water etc but it's so insignificant.

    A nugget of truth doesn't make an extreme claim true.

    Green tea is delicious, but there's no significant effect towards fat loss or anything else at normal amounts consumed.
    Anecdotally, it may help get rid of water weight. Maybe.

    I love black tea, and wish I enjoyed green tea, but I just cant :sick: I have tried many times to get the taste for it, and bought many different combinations, but they all taste like a dirt and grass mixture...

    It can taste very different depending on how it's made. The water can't be too hot and make sure you only keep it in the water for 2 minutes, 3 max.

    Aaah that could be my problem, I let it steep for 15ish minutes so it was cool enough to chug down! I've still got a pack in the cupboard, might try adding a bit of cold water instead.
