Carbohydrates that aren’t used for energy by the body are stored as fat. This process occurs each day, so it is important to watch your daily calorie intake.
Green tea is also thought to block the storage of carbohydrates as fat for a short time. When a person drinks green tea, the body allows a bigger window for the consumption of carbohydrates for fuel by the body and less gets stored as fat.
The length of time is not certain, but any help to keep fat from depositing itself on our frame is beneficial.
Green tea helps caffeine addicts take in fewer calories as well. Green tea contains caffeine. Coffee drinkers can have their caffeine fix without adding the milk and sugar.
Green tea is rather bitter but small amounts of sugar substitutes like Splenda® can sweeten the cup just fine. Extra calories from coffee additives and coffee drinks are thereby avoided and in turn many will lose weight.
We don’t realize just how many empty calories we consume each day through our beverages. One Starbuck drink measured recently actually had more calories and saturated fat than an entire Supersized Big Mac Meal!
Eliminating even half of those calories will promote weight loss.
So, have a cup of green tea with each meal if you like. One or two cups are good to get the health benefits of the tea.
There are a variety of ways to get the green tea into your system for weight control.
Green tea can be found in cold tea drinks and supplements also. You can even find it in snack and meal replacement bars. Best of all, like Hoodia, green tea can be added to any diet plan that you are currently using.
