I am drinking 3 mugs of green tea a day. And losing weight quiet well. Have others had the same effect?

I do incorporate that into my diet. I have a cup every morning since I don't like coffee.0

i try to drink green tea when i can i feel better for it but i drank it before i stared dieting if its working for you why not. i read another post about this the other day so i think i might start drinking more lol but i do love coffee thou i have cut down to about 3 cups a day x0

I have started drinking a couple cups of it in the afternoons and I have noticed a huge boost in my energy. I feel like an energizer bunny at times. I can clean the whole house in two house flat. Lol. Believe me with two small kids homeschooling I'll take all the extra energy I can get.
I would imagine more energy would equal more calories being burned.0 -
Is the green tea that comes in the gallon the same? I usually get the diet kind.0

I drink Green Tea and Yerba Mate Tea. I have 2-3 cups a day. I usually drink it plain, but occasionally add Stevia if I want a little sweetness.0

I drink green tea in the morning one at dinner and one in the evening. It tastes awful but it seems to work.0

I agree with you about the every boost. It does seem to do that. I have read that it increases a persons metabolism by 17% which would increase calorie loss and benefiting from a detox too.0

I drink a large mug of green tea every day in the late afternoon. Started drinking it for the warmth and because I like it, but have noticed that it curbs my appetite! Helps me get through til dinner time a lot easier! I highly recommend!!0

I swear by green tea! It suppresses my appetite without a doubt...can't say for sure whether it boosts my weight loss as I don't know what I would have lost not drinking it but I'm pretty sure it helps melt the fat away! Cider vinegar is another I use for melting fat. I never seemed to lose it off my love handles until I started have a couple of tablespoons of that a day in lots of water.
Currently I have blueberry flavoured green tea. Yum!0 -

I drink a lot of green tea. I usually brew some when I'm getting cravings. Seems to calm those cravings.0

Where do you find blueberry flavored green tea?0

My experience with green tea has been positive. I brew my own from tea bags, not bottled....I drink between 1 and 5 cups a day. Today, in fact, I had a green tea in place of my morning coffee. It helps me energy wise and when I am wanting to snack or craving sugar/sweet, I have a cup of tea first and see if that doesn't settle the craving.
Oh, and to the poster who says green tea tastes awful, I think plain green tea is a bit strong and can be bitter. I prefer the kind softened with a floral note of some kind-my two faves are jasmine and lemongrass. Just a thought-softens the bitterness quite a bit.
The only thing I add to it is Stevia.
I say drink up. :drinker:0 -
I drink it but I don't credit it for any fat loss. I just don't see how it's going to help you lose fat if you aren't in a calorie deficit. I drink it for it's antioxidants.0

Most will say that it's all in your head and doesn't work, but it absolutely does for me. I drink a cup about 20 minutes before every meal and the pounds seem to fall off of me.0

I mix powder green tea in my smoothie for breakfast and then have hot tea in the afternoon or evening0
