if so, how much a day and did it help?
Have you tried drinking boiled water with lemon, cinnamon and honey? I do when I'm sick and it helps a lot, but I hear it aids weight loss as well!

Your input?

    If you replace a couple of 20oz mountain dews with green tea, sure. Otherwise, no. Tea (green or otherwise) is not going to make a difference. Nor will hot sugar water.

    I drink green tea everyday because I like it. There are no weight loss benefits from it that I have ever experienced.

    There is no drink that will help you lose weight. Like a PP said, if you swap out a soda for green tea, it will help you save calories. But the only proven way to lose weight is to eat at a calorie deficit.

    There seems to be a lot of articles on it contributing. I think metabolism wise it may help? I drink it because I like it as well. Thanks for the replies, I am eating at a calorie deficit and it's working quite well. Just curious as to see if it would be worth drinking it so much.

    ^^ pretty much this. Green teas taste good, but they aren't going to help you lose weight. A calorie deficit will.

    "Green tea can only accelerate metabolism by 4%, and this amounts to only 100 calories a day, which does not contribute a lot to weight loss. If you need to lose 20 lb or 30 lb in a short time, green tea is not the best option for you. "

    @brower47 You've been here for a while; do you think that the green tea accelerated your weight loss above what you would have lost if you had drank plain water instead?

    Yes, of course but on top of all the exercise and calorie deficit is what I'm getting to. I'm not asking if it's a miracle working weight aid because I know it's not lol just wondering how much is actually helps on top of everything. Thanks for the facts though guys

    I drink a glass of wine every day and I have lost 125 pounds. Obviously wine is the ultimate weight loss drink.

    I drink green tea with lemon all the time but I don't think it's helping me lose weight. I mean it does, but only because it stops me from gobbeling down something crazy. I've seen a couple of YouTube videos where women have stated otherwise though.
