Tea Extract Weight Loss-surprising Studies Revealed

By: Marcilio David Home | Health-and-Fitness | Nutrition


The tea extract †weight loss connection has been scientifically proven. There are two ways to lose weight. One is to reduce energy intake (calories) and the other is to increase energy expenditure. A recent study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that green tea extract increased energy expenditure through higher metabolism and also had an effect on fat oxidation. In summary, the tea extract worked on both sides of the weight loss coin.

Originally, the tea extract weight loss connection was thought to be the result of the caffeine in the tea. But, the researchers discovered that the tea's properties go beyond what could be naturally expected from the caffeine content. When they administered the same amount of caffeine alone, they foud that there was no change in energy expenditure. This leads us to believe that there is an interaction between the active ingredients of green tea that leads to weight loss.

One way to get the benefits of green tea is to select an organic brand of loose leaf tea from the supermarket and drink it each morning. But, if this isn't your "cup of tea," the answer may lie in green tea extract. Weight loss is the same whether you drink the tea or take it in capsule form. In fact, some studies have found that when subjects were injected with green tea extract, weight loss happened more quickly.

None of the subjects in any of the green tea research studies reported any side effects. There were also no significant differences in heart rates. This makes green tea extract different from some of the prescription drugs for obesity as well as herbal products like ephedra which raise heart rates and blood pressure.

The best way to use green tea extract for weight loss is to take it with meals because this reproduces the various study's conditions to the extent possible.

Because green tea does not have any caffeine in it, it has the potential to accelerate your metabolism without the jittery side effects or over stimulating your adrenal glands. Green tea weight loss works because it does not require you to eat a very low calorie diet.

Green tea can also increase your endurance by up to 24 percent allowing you to burn more calories in your exercise routine and build lean muscle mass which helps you to burn calories even when you are not exercising.

There is a connection between green tea extract & weight loss. Adding a cup of tea to your day is an easy way to stimulate weight loss.

Even after you have lost all of the weight you want, you can still continue to drink green tea. Unlike other herbs and supplements, you can drink 3 to 6 cups daily for the rest of your life without having any side effects. Along with its other powerful health benefits, this means green tea is an ideal weight maintenance beverage.

There is a tea extract †weight loss connection. That's been proven. Add tea or tea extract to your diet and watch the pounds come off.
