Hi,
A side thing about green tea, I use it on my skin, brew then apply for 15 minutes on problem areas of your skin, fresh is best.
Interesting...what does it do for your skin?0 -
I like the taste of green tea but found when I drink it my hair starts falling out. Anyone else had this problem?0

I drink tea a lot, and not just green tea. I haven't seen a big difference when I drink green tea, but I mix up my tea with some black tea (though I do add a touch of milk & organic coconut sugar to it), Oolong, white, pu'er and rooibos as well as green teas. They are my non-water drinks after my AM cup of coffee.0

Green tea is awesome. I drink mine cold with a couple drops of honey. It doesn't aid in "weight-loss" but it does help increase your metabolism and it is a wonderful diuretic. So if you have a lot of water weight... that's about the only weight you'll lose when drinking it.
My daily routine:
Wake up: Drink 600ml of water.
Breakfast (when hungry): Piece of fruit/eggs
Drink water
Mid-morning snack: oatmeal/trail mix
Drink water
Lunch: Veggies with side of lean protein (Grilled chicken salad - watch the calories on the dressing) with Green Tea
Drink water
Mid-afternoon snack: trail mix/fruit/rice cake
Drink water. (Energy drink if needed - BodyForm or Advocare Spark)
Dinner: Lean protein with veggies and complex carb (Fish/grilled chicken with steamed veggies/side salad and rice)
And don't forget approx. 30 mins of cardio!!!!0 -
I use 6 bags of Salada decaf green tea and 2 bags herbal tea ( I like lemon and peach the best; apple cinnamon wasn't sweet enough) in my iced tea maker. Each pitcher lasts about 2 days, as I drink it all day long. No artificial sweeteners, no caffeine, no worries!0

I think it has helped me just because drinking hot tea makes me feel full. If I feel hungry I will drink it, and add a little vanilla stevia. I am in love with the store Teavana!! I bought a tea maker that holds 24 ounces, so I brew it first thing in the morning, and take it to work with me. I end up drinking all 24 ounces before 3:00. It's easy for me since I only have to make it in the morning, and it's completely spill proof so it travels well. Overall I have felt better as well!
Oh and mine is green and white tea together.0 -
I love green tea...no sugar, no milk...just plain. I drink it with breakfast and lunch every day. There's really been no difference in my weight loss but I feel like it helps give me extra energy. I do drink the caffeinated tea so that may have something to do with it. Other than that, I like the other health benefits it offers.0

don't think it will contribute to weight loss unless you are substituting sugary drinks! It's still good for you though - so would recommend it.0

Dont worry about weight loss. just have it. Green tea contains only 1 calorie and your intestines would not mind ignoring those :laugh:
On the plus side, its rich in anti-oxidants.0 -
Tea fills the role of beverage when I'm not thirsty or I don't want a proper 'drink'. Green tea is just one flavor in the rotation I go through depending on my mood and taste at the time. I haven't found a green tea that I LOVE, but I keep trying different ones hoping...0

Just bought some Organic Lemon Yerba Mate Tea! It is so good, I don't even have to add anything to it like I do the other Teas I've tried :drinker:0

I'm addicted to Tazo's green tea and I have it every day. Do I think it aids in weight loss? No.0
