Folks here are a wealth of good information. As you are learning there is a lot of *kitten* information out there that will lead you astray. Hang in there.
Aww omg thank you this made me smile , yes I know I’m asking tons of question. It’s just that I’m worried of repeating same mistakes, everyday I try to stay active here with people and gain more knowledge. I hope I can do it right this time 💓
You'll get the hang of it and then will have to learn the "head nod and change the subject" maneuver when you hear your friends and coworkers telling you all sorts of nonsense that isn't going to work. Because they'll never believe what you tell them, even with proof. :laugh:
Hahahaha I’m already planning on the head nod 😤😂1 -
I found cold green tea was mostly a benefit because it stopped me from drinking so much juice or other sweetened teas. I find that I struggle with just drinking water, but I had found a loose peach green tea and it tastes similar to peach juice. It will help you cut too much sugar intake which may be the weight loss factor they were talking about, as long as you don't add anything to it! I still stick to one glass of tea and honey in the mornings though.
I don’t drink tea / coffee. I like cold water and that’s it hahaha . Not a big fan of soft drink either0 -
I drink unsweetened iced green tea (matcha, actually) with a citrus wedge every day for breakfast. I think it's tasty, and appreciate its antioxidants. If you think you'd enjoy it, try it.
To confirm others: It had zero effect on my weight loss rate when I began drinking it.3 -
I have been drinking green tea for nearly 15 plus years.
Never did anything for my weight loss. I put on many pounds.
I love the taste and can't drink normal tea now.
Not to nice cold though!0 -

Maybe you have to drink it sweetened. Then it can cause metabolic confusion. Your body is already expecting the green tea to have almost zero calories.

Um, no. Metabolic confusion isn't a thing. You can't "confuse" your metabolism. It is what it is.
You put calories into your body. If those calories are less than what your body needs, you lose weight. If those calories are more than your body needs, you gain weight.
(Why are there so many comments/threads about metabolic confusion in the last couple of days? What did I miss?)1 -

No omg a lot of my friends and even youtubers say it does SOMETHING to help with weight loss ?
Nope.
Well ... if you substitute green tea (without sugar or milk) for a sugared drink it might help, but otherwise ... nope.
However, between hot and cold, I prefer cold. For example, this is nice ...

I make lemonade with it. Cold green tea mixed with 1 tablespoon of concentrated lemon juice and a hint of honey. It's delicious. If anything green tea is very healthy for you because of the antioxidants. Drinking it cold will also increase your water consumption which does aid in weight loss.
I think what most people are trying to say is, there is no "gimmick" or "hack" that will make you lose weight. Sustained weight loss occurs when you make healthy eating and exercise a priority.
Look at it this way, if any supplement or food was proven to make you lose weight, it would be flying off the grocery store shelves faster than they could stock it.1 -

Apologies for the following digression, OP.
I think you can use at least some of the regular emojis now - or at least I've seen more of them in the forums.
Did any of these these work:
🖤😍 🔥😜😀
They worked in "preview" with the web MFP, so I'll give it a try. Even if some/all didn't but this sentence is visible, we have an improvement.0 -
