Has anyone had any success in drinking green tea and/or taking green tea pills? I've always had two cups of green tea each day (just because I like it), but I've recently been adding some iced green tea as well as taking green tea pills.

    Careful, too much green tea has been linked to kidney and liver issue - I am sure you are not taking anywhere near this much but just give you a warning. Green tea is great for speeding up your metabolism. I use it when I am cutting fat. (currently bulking - not working as well as I want but it's early days)

    I take zinc and magnesium also - the magnesium increase testosterone and I am thinking of stopping this as at my age...it's already at a high level.

    I have been drinking green tea for years - weight loss coach at Jenny Craig suggested I try it when I hit a plateau. It worked I started losing again. Over Christmas I indulged myself and drank coffee , no weight loss, this week back on the green tea and losing weight again. I drink around 8 cups a day but make it very weak. Green tea with lemon and ginger, yummy!!!

    I drink 1 to 2 cups of green tea everyday.....I don't think it does a thing for calories, at least for me!

    What about caffeine-free green tea? Would it have the same effect? I generally have to stop caffeine around 5pm so I can sleep later.
