Green Tea after or before a whole big meal

ferd_ttp5

Should i drink my cup of green tea before or after a whole big meal? Some said it is best after a whole big meal because it helps digestion, or who else got a reverse opinion about dribking green tea before or after a big meal? Who else do this two things?

Drink it whenever you want. Green tea is nothing but a hot beverage with a little caffeine in it, it's not going to make any difference in your weight loss so you may as well just drink it whenever you enjoy it most. No different than drinking a cup of coffee (except less caffeine in the tea).

Well I have heard drinking a big glass of water before you eat can make you eat less because you feel fuller faster but really it would just be personal preference as to when you drink your beverages. I like to drink something with my meal. Green tea has no magic properties so drink it as you would any other beverage.

To me it would depend on what i am eating. I like the taste of green tea with some foods but not others.
It has no magic properties so I would aim for max delicious.

Personally, I would say don't drink it at all, but that's just me.

I like to drink hot tea during those in between meal times when I feel myself wanting to snack, but I'm not really hungry. Otherwise, I'd drink it before your meal to help fill you up a bit more.

No, me too. Why people like drinking warm grass is beyond me...

A lot of things people eat and drink are beyond me.

I drink hot green tea after dinner...it keeps me from snacking on something sweet. I have to add a little honey and steep with a flavored tea...green tea alone is not very tasty.
