Green Tea – Weight Loss Drink: Top Secret
One of the most natural and highly beneficial beverages for weight loss is Green Tea!
And I’m not talking about the bottled green tea which you get at a corner store that has a whole bunch of artificial ingredients added to it! Just natural green tea sold in tea bags. If you can get organic even better!
Green Tea and Weight Loss
Green tea has been used in many weight loss products because of its ability to help promote fat loss by ramping up your metabolism.
Its high caffeine content increases body temperature and this leads to your body burning up fat calories and also removing excess water from your body (the water which usually gives that bloated look!).
But many of you don’t like the taste of green tea.
You’ve either only been exposed to green tea in Japanese restaurants or haven’t really given it a chance in the grocery store.
Now there are two solutions. I recommend this first one, which is take a look next time you go shopping and you’ll notice that you can get many flavours of green tea. From pomegranate to peach, to chai and mint (which is great iced).
One of the brands I recommend is Stash Tea, and they have an awesome one that is Ginger Peach flavoured. Here is the link to Amazon – Stash Premium Ginger Peach Green Tea Bags
Try and have two to three cups throughout the day especially in the morning when you’re at work. It will help you keep your nerves in check and also provide you with some extra energy to burn.
Green Tea Weight Loss Extract:
But if you prefer water and would still like to get the benefits of green tea you can also get pure green tea extract supplements. Extremely affordable and very effective, here are some that I recommend:

Dear Sir, i am very pleased to subscribe in your esteemed 5-days course,
by your advice regarding the green tea,you give me a solution to one of my biggest problems which is drinking more than 5 cups of coffee to stay alert and in a high energy mood.
I will begin to decrease the Caffeine amounts by the increase usage of the green tea.
But i would like to know how the caffeine finally sap our energy? and whether switching to green tea will be the best solution or do you suggest something more?
Hi Engy, yes Green tea is a great drink to switch to from coffee as it also provides the antioxidants. With that said try and stick to having the green tea during the day and only non-caffeinated drinks in the evening/nights so you can sleep well.

I’ve gone out and bought some green tea!
Nice! You should notice a difference within a few weeks and the antioxidants they provide are great for many years ahead!
Hey there,
Thanks for the tips. I live in different part of the world. We don’t have same trade marks for any product.How can i know the real good green tea. For instance, i bought Lipton green tea bags with mint, but i’m not positive that this is a real good. How can i be sure?
Look at the ingredients to see what kind of additives they have put in it. Generally if it’s pure and natural stuff you are going to get a better product. Also if you can find fresh green tea from a local market then that will mostly likely be the best.
Hi Sam,
am 25 years old seeking to be healthy and having that nice body. i used to smoke and just sit at home for the whole day on my computer doing nothing, eating fast junk food that made my belly go huge the past 2 years. i decided to stop “Junk food, smoking & drinking soda” it was hard but i did it and now for a month. found ur website by a chance, its looks friendly and i liked the green tea idea, will go get some and drink as i will do anything to have the right body for me.
I just had a question right now, i normally have 3 pieces of sugar on my normal cup of tea, shall i use some on the green tea too ?? or it will be better without any ??
Great Mohamed, keep up the great work. You can definitely save yourself some calories and eliminate the sugar from the green tea, you’ll find after a while that you won’t feel like you need it anymore. Alternatively you can try stevia. More info on stevia here – https://weightlossandtraining.com/stevia-sweetner
i think it would be better because then the sugar would turn into carbs but im not 100% sure though
I am not real big on Caffeine…I have found decaffeinated green tea..Does it have the same benefits?
It has the antioxidants which is great, just doesn’t have the caffeine which can help a little with metabolism and a little appetite suppression. Some studies are now showing caffeine to also help facilitate protein uptake by muscles so can be good for recovery, I’m still looking for more research to back this up.
