I've started drinking this stuff a lot more now that I'm losing weight it really helps keep off the cravings! Anyone else think it helps keep the sugar cravings away?

    I think so! I try to have a cup after dinner, the warmth fills me up so I don't snack. I also loved unsweetened iced green tea from Starbucks for a treat!

    I agree with you. I drink it unsweetened and think it helps with the metabolism too.

    I drink Green Tea after Dinner and usually it does help me avoid snacking . I do find it a problem if I have it before I have eaten though as I suddenly want to eat everything in sight. I have tested this out a few times over the weekends at 4ish (Yes I am sad lol) and the times I don't have the tea I am not that hungry but when I do have the tea, I always end up feeling more peckish. So now I always have it after dinner.

    I don't know if it's the tea itself or just that I'm drinking something warm? But it does tend to help out somewhat in stopping me from eating too much!

    I drink it because I like the taste. And I put honey in mine, so I guess that would be defeating your purpose for it. But I *love* it with honey! It is second only to jasmine tea!

    I bought some green tea but haven't tried it yet. The reason being is that I was told that it can make you pee and poop afterwards.

    Is this correct?

    I drink black tea, but still agree that it keeps the cravings away.

    I like all sorts of tea, but recently a new thing I've been doing is drinking lemon water. It's true that if you have an ALKALINE diet (and believe me, lemon turns to alkaline in your system, not acidic), it helps with weight loss. I've been trying to drink a cup - 3 cups of hot lemon water with each meal, plus some in the evening when I get cravings for those oh so delic after eight choco bar... :) BUT that being said, all teas keep the cravings away for myself, but lemon water is my new thing. :bigsmile:

    Love my green tea, I have several different flavored green teas that I drink. I like it in the morning and at night. I also have a Trader Joe's Ruby Red Chai Tea, that I love.

    Green tea is great! I drink about 3 cups a day. It's helped me to feel full for a longer time :)
