I am sure this has been asked a million times but hey! What do you all think of the benefits, including aiding weight loss, of green tea?
I have gotten addicted to it and have about 5/6 cups a day. YUM!

    It definitely helps in keeping you healthy and your blood pressure down. I had two previous gestational diabetes pregnancy and with my third i was determine not to! So I drinked it like crazy and went to get it check my blood sugar was normal! :)

    Even if it doesn't have the benefit, drink it anyways. It's better than soda! :)

    Definitely, and it has a lot less caffeine than coffee. x

    I find it's a good appetite suppressant. So in that way it aids weight loss. But I drink matcha green tea and it's got bits of fiber in it so that could be the reason.

    Green tea is awesome. I like to cold brew it, actually. Even lower on the caffeine than hot brewed, and I can make a big batch of it all at once.

    99% of the time it's what I drink when not drinking water.
    The only bad thing about drinking so much, I go to the bathroom more.
    I normally drink it plain. Sometimes with lemon or when I want a treat, a teaspoon of honey.

    Contains antioxidants and helps speed up your metabolism! :)

    My favorite kind is a candy cane flavored organic decaf green tea with a couple tablespoons of Silk vanilla light soymilk... SO GOOD! It tastes like an amazing chai tea!!

    I'm not so sure about the weight loss, but green tea is definitely a nice choice of beverage (unless you have issues with caffeine).

    For the green tea lovers out there, give matcha a try. It is super delicious and higher in nutritional value due to the way it is grown and processed. It is more expensive, but a little bit of powder goes a long way.
