Green Tea and Acai

Bump!

Hi there,

Has anyone been taken either green tea and / or acai tablets and noticed any improvement in energy, weight loss etc?? I have been taking them for the past two weeks in combination with a very strict diet and exercise programme but wonder if anyone has had success. I guess they cant hurt as they are natural supplements but just wanted some thoughts. Thanks!

I take vitamin C & Fish Oil... Fish oil actually helps you burn up to 100 more cal during excercise and vitamin C helps boost metabolism. Either way both are good for you along with a multi vitamin ❤????

Both are useful as anti-oxidants but not much else. Rather than taking supplements you can just drink green tea (also a good way to make sure you're getting enough fluids) and add blueberries to your diet - a lot less expensive than the supplements and equally effective (yummier too)

A little OT but "natural" doesn't always = good. It's a word that gets grossly overused, arsenic is natural but I wouldn't recommend consuming it.

I'm skeptical that what you said is true. Can you provide some references about fish oil and vitamin C?

Low vitamin c levels make it hard to break down fat..


Now I'm not saying go OD on vit C or fish oil. They come with other benefits as well these two along with a multi vit improve everything overall FOR ME... But everyone should take thier own personal opinion into account as well.. It's just a suggestion take it like a grain of salt ????????

I also take fish oil and a multivitamin for overall health. I had just never heard of the other "metabolism boosting" properties.

Yep maybe it's just the mental aspect of knowing it has been proven before to help weight loss . Maybe the mental aspect is all I need kind of like a placebo except with health benefits my nails grew so much I don't have to get them done anymore ???????? . And maybe it does. I take it like a grain of salt and it gives me an extra boost to go the extra mile ????

Yes - you are right perhaps it is a mental thing, but thats my biggest challenge - getting my head in the zone!! So whatever helps. I am sure as an antioxidant my skin, hair and nails will be benefitting also!!

Exactly as long as they don't hurt what's the hurt in believing thier helping you with wieght loss wether it be mentally or physicaly ... Either way your getting results❤ my nails seriously grew tho lol there strong to not like flimsy or breakable ... Best of luck lady ????????????
