    I drink green tea daily. Because it is tasty. Unfortunately, aside from having some nice levels of antioxidants, nothing you've been told green tea will do is true. It's good for hydration, and a warm drink may make you less hungry, but the rest is bunk. Drink it if you life it, but don't expect it to do anything more than be a drink :)

    Green tea does nothing for weight loss, calorie deficit is where it's at.

    Enjoy it whenever and however you like. It won't do a thing for weight loss though.

    It won't reduce your weight. But if you decide to drink it, take the japanese green tea - plain.

    I love it. My current favourite is green tea mixed with orange.
    Doesn't help with weight loss though except the fact you could replace higher calorie drinks with it.
    The only way to lose weight is to eat less calories than you burn. You can have an ice cream or biscuit etc and you will still lose weight.

    I usually make plain green tea and then just add some fresh lemon slices.
    Sometimes I let it cool and drink cold throughout the day, sometimes I just drink it hot.
    It's really your preference.

    In itself it won't do anything for weight loss.

    I love the taste of green tea, it's my favourite type of tea. I drank about five cups of it a day when I was obese, and I stil drink about five cups of it per day now that I'm merely overweight. But none of the change in weight was due to green tea, it was because I finally started counting calories and making sure I eat less than I burn.

    I drink it everyday. It's great in summer, iced. It does not help weight loss though. For that you need a calorie deficit. :)
