Hi everyone!! Happy new Year!!!

As many of you, I am trying to get back on track.....and I will hopefully stick to it.
Do any of you drink Green Tea and if so, so you notice a difference from drinking it??
They say (although Im not sure who "they" are) that it helps in dieting, but I would rather hear from you guys.

Thanks!!!

    I have read many articles about green tea and have never really gotten the info. on how it helps one lose weight. However, it does give our immune system a boost and I am thinking since I've read that dieter are suppose to drink 4-5 cups a day of green tea, I believe with all that tea sloshing inside you- you are to full to eat. I love coffee and teas. I have been drinking 4 cups of green tea every day. I use it when I want something sweet(I am trying to get off all sweeteners but once a day is better than 9-12 times a day) and just before meals to help fill me up. I have noticed that the tea before meals help me to last longer before I need a snack. Or maybe its all in my head! Sorry no real answer for you. I am sure someone here will know. There seems to be some very knowledgable folks here.

    I have been drinking green tea for about 3 months since I gave up coffee. I haven't noticed any difference in weight. But I am not trying to lose right now but maintain.

    What I have noticed is I am sleeping much better, not having as many hot flashes/night sweats and I have more energy during the day. Probably from sleeping better.

    I LOOOOVE green tea!!!!
    drinking hot water makes u full so u don't really want to have snack anymore that's an help.
    And since it makes u more awake I think it boosts ur systems which is always good: more movements, more cals lost!

    I take green tea pills from Holland and barratt, and i find that as long as i don't go over 1500 kcal a day i lose about 1- 1/2 lbs a week.
    Over the holidays however i haven't been exercising but this hasn't made a difference, i'm still losing the weight :)
