    A lot of people are not liking their green tea in tea bags (no wonder!). There are now premium green teas on the market that are much fresher, tastier, and easier to digest. Tea has the reputation of dissolving fat in Chinese medicine circles, but it's effects are very subtle. Don't expect it to work on your body like some kind of weight loss magical pill.

    My favorite is organic white full-leafed green tea.

    Hey!!

    I'm starting green tea today! I heard a couple of tips and tricks that could help you make it a little better experience!
    If you like you could add honey to the tea or some type of sweetener(not sugar). Also to make it work better you should only drink it half an hour to an hour after you eat. Don't eat it on an empty or completely full stomach. It wont work. Then you'll be wasting your taste-buds and your time!
    Start with green tea slowly don't go straight into the deep end.
    Also please remember to only drink it a couple of hours before you plan to go to bed because its kind of like a stimulant and you wont have the best sleep if you drink it right before. If your looking for something right before bed instead of green tea that wont keep you up, Lemon,Honey and some water also helps with weight loss and wont keep you up!!
    Hope this helps
    :-D

    I've been drinking 2 or 3 cups of green tea for years and I have never noticed it having any impact on my energy or metabolism. I drink it mainly because I like it and I can drink it without milk and sweetener. My favourite brand is Twinings, but Lipton is pretty good too. The korean sejak green tea from David's Tea is great too.

    I used green tea to wean myself off coffee. Then I switched to decaf green tea in the mornings. I like having something hot first thing in the morning, but caffeine any time of the day messes with my sleep. I'm a special snowflake, aren't I?

    I like plain decaf Trader Joe's green tea, no sugar. I've tried black teas in the morning for a change, and I like them well enough, but again, it has to be decaf.

    I used to drink 2-3 cups a day when I was thin, it is meant to have health benefits and is quite refreshing.

    I drink green tea steeped with another tea (usually a chocolate mint flavor) with a little honey in the morning. I can't drink coffee before I go to the gym on cardio days. Coffee makes me feel ill. The green tea does not.

    I usually drink tea in the evening too after dinner. It helps me feel like I've had something sweet, and reduces my cravings for dessert.

    I can't enjoy plain green tea, but I'm a huuuuge fan of flavoured green teas. Green earl grey, mint green, and superfruit are my favs. Love love love them! A great way to get your water in, and keep your mind off more food :tongue:

    I drink it all the time because I like it. Don;t think it actually does anything though
