  • Oh if your wondering what green tea I drink its blueberry slim life tea by yogi tea. You can find it at health food stores or kroger. Thats the tea I think helps weight loss. It's a weight loss and metabolism booster.

    I just started drinking green tea again and made my portions smaller. I have lost 15lbs.
    You lose weight by eating fewer calories than you burn. Period.

    You lost weight because you made your portions smaller—not because of the fictional weight-loss properties of green tea.

    This does not help weight loss.

    This may help weight loss.

    There is no miracle in any tea, not even the ones that sell themselves as 'slim' teas and make you poop. They don't boost your metabolism or make weight melt off. They may help if you replace your other beverages with them, if your other beverages have calories. That's pretty much it.

    You realize the boost is like 20 extra calories, right? And that's if you drink 12 cups. Not to mention, it's just theory.
