    im not really sure of the benefits of drinking this stuff. i tried it a couple of times and was pretty much like drinking hot water. must be something about it if it is marketed so aggressively

    It'll work for a bit. Nothing will ever beat hard work.

    I love green tea and drink it everyday with raspberries in it...but for weightloss?? How does that work? Is it supposed to be all you consume or something, because that's just plain ridiculous if so!

    It has a high level of antioxidants, as do most teas, but green tea is unfermented so a little better. You actually have to drink several cups of tea a day to get the antioxidant benefit (4-5 cups say most sources). I don't think it's ever been scientifically shown to help with weight loss though.

    I drink it because I like it. I haven't heard of a "green tea diet" though. I am naturally suspicious of "diets" anyway.

    I've never heard of a green tea diet, I just drink it regularly - before and after meals. It makes me full faster and speeds up my metabolism.

    i already do it actually, and i do exercise and diet. it sped up my metabolism. im not sure if it was the green tea or not, but i'd lose half a pound a DAY. sounds crazy but its true. i actually like the taste of green tea, so i drink it a lot
