Only if you're drinking green tea (with no sugar or milk) instead of a beverage that is loaded with calories.8

He’s skinny because he’s eating at maintenance. It has nothing to do with types of foods/drinks consumed.sflano1271 wrote: »

What works for some may not work for others, but you can give it a try! Supposedly drinking it first thing in the morning helps. I used to drink it regularly but now I'm not so sure it actually does anything for me, so I switch it up and drink meant tea or ginger lemon tea. I have friends that eat so bad all day every day and are skinny, and then here I am total opposite

Calories are the only thing that matter when it comes to weight gain/loss. Anybody who tells you otherwise has no idea what they're talking about, and/or they're trying to sell you something.9 -

It’s the amount of calories that you eat, day in and day out, that keeps your weight stable.1

Eating at maintenance just means that you are eating the amount of calories that causes your body to maintain its current weight, neither losing or gaining over time. Some lucky SOBs can do this without thinking about it, although most people (in the US certainly) tend to gain slowly as they get older, or during major life changes.7 -

Lately I have black coffee and green tea through my work day. It only gives me something 0 calorie to reach for. That's all.

Weight loss will come down to how many calories you're eating compared to how many calories you're burning. Period. If your diet isn't in check, you'll have to do an awful lot of walking to make up for it.9 -
You've posted several threads. People try to help you. You mostly ignore their sensible answers. Now you're back, asking about magic potions.
Sure, consume the magic potion.
It won't work, though.9 -

I'm starting to think everything you post on this forum is one major troll.
And that's coming from a major troll.10 -

No, green tea has no magical properties but if you enjoy drinking it then drink away

Nah, don't listen to these people, they are too set in their ways. Drinking 1-2 cups a day of your most average green tea can actually help you greatly with weight loss. What they don't tell you, however, is that the sugar molecules in sugary drinks or high-sugar snacks counter the beneficial effects of green tea. The helpful substance in green tea works, but it needs to be taken for a while for someone to actually feel the effects and consuming too much additional sugar can prevent that entirely. Trust me, I know these things, I am an internet expert.

This is quite possibly the worst info in this thread but I can't tell if your being serious or not.2 -

With the wink emoji, I think this was written in sarcasm font.2 -
Along with ' trust me, I am an Internet expert'
Nobody says that in seriousness

Green tea won’t cause you to magically lose weight, but it is very healthy for you. (If it’s the real herbal green tea without all the sugar and chemicals.)5

Apologies for breaking your bull excrement-meters folks, I couldn't resist messing with OP there but it's all in good humour. Based on a comment from the first page, I was curious whether sflano1271 would turn out to be one of those posters that ignore sensible comments and focus on woo-worthy ones. In any case, ignore the made up science bit, the actual advice buried underneath calls for him replacing sugary drinks and some sugary snacks with green tea if he wishes to involve it in his weight loss process.8
