Somebody told me Green Tea Extract is good for keeping your metabolism speed up. I've done some research, but wanted to poll my fellow MFPers :wink:

    I drink 32oz a day, but I am still undecided if it speeds up my metabolism. It makes my skin look awesome though(:

    I wish I could drink that much green tea :-)

    I was referring to the capsules you take the supposedly have all the awesomeness of green tea in it.

    The standardised extract is many many times more potent than any tea you make yourself. Expect to burn less than an extra 100 calories a day, it won't set your weight loss on fire.

    it wont hurt you but it wont speed up your metabolism any better than any caffeine source and that aint enough to buy pills

    metabolism in general is where you should start your research not with green tea extract
