Green Tea

Try not drinking it. It may be that there is something specific in the tea you chose that your body does not seem to respond well to.

There have been a couple of studies showing that a cup of green tea will boost your metabolism by 1%. This effect tops out at two cups, so the most you could raise your metabolism is 2%. If you normally burn 2000 calories a day, two cups of green tea will help you burn an extra 40 calories. Not enough to make any difference in weight loss efforts.

Don't drink it if it reacts with you. Some people don't like it.

It could be the caffeine.. it could be the blend of tea.

Green tea doesn't really increase your metabolism. Caffeine does but only a tiny bit. The only real thing that will increase your metabolism would be to increase muscle mass. Caffeine (which is usually in fat burners) help a little but not a lot.

Stop drinking it and see how you feel... but don't change anything else in your diet. If you still feel the same way that it's something else you have in your diet/lifestyle that is causing the issues.

Thanks for posting this, and for the great answers from people. I don't like green tea but tried the supplements for a while. They tasted awful (like, gag-inducing if I didn't swallow it right immediately), and I didn't notice any difference, so I stopped taking them. I've wondered ever since if I should just try to like the tea, but it doesn't really seem worth it!

I would suggest getting a different brand perhaps. The one my mom gets makes me bloated. I like bigelow green tea, I don't seem to have any issues with it.

Why I love tea.

-0 calories and 0 bad stuff.
- it makes my stomach feel better
- It calms me down
- It gives me time to hang out with my hubby and chat
- Tea sets are cute



I like white tea the most I think.

I forgot to add, try drinking it with or immediately after a meal. Any tea on an empty stomach will make me sick. Hope this helps.

I have recently started drinking green tea each day. I added it because of so many suggestions that it speeds up motabloism helping you lose weight...and other health benefits. My question is....since starting to drink it, I haven't felt well. I feel lathargic and bloated. Has anyone else had bad results from green tea? I also haven't lost any weight since i started it.

Green tea EXTRACT slightly increases the metabolism but only perhaps 70 calories a day, that is a massively more potent source of the antioxidant EGCG than green tea you brewed at home.

I have tried alot of Green teas...generally those that taste good are those with Jasmine flavor, or they contain sugar. Those that are strictly for weight loss, do not have sugar and are just bland.

There were times when i took it and felt awefully sick. Made me feel nauseous and it didnt really help with losing any weight at all. Im guessing they only keep you active for a short while, like any other tea would but their effect dies off after sometime.

I stopped taking them because they just made me feel so sick. Just rely on a balanced diet + exercise and you'll be fine....

Do not drink it if it makes you feel bad :happy: . I do not believe the weight loss claims of green tea but drink it as a substitute for plain water. Also, I tried several brands before I found one my stomach could handle.
