在水以後，茶是世界下個主導的飲料。 茶被中國皇帝創始在4,500年期間前在是之前普遍的。 茶是其中一每日必要在中國從那以後。 漢語喜歡食用在以後膳食茶. 因為中國人在一頓大膳食以後經常會說它「我們喝茶「洗滌」油從系統和舒適消化。 猜測是這個減重神話那製造的茶現在得到普遍在西方。
在我們調查這個減重問題之前，我們看什麼真正地綠茶是。 中國茶也許被分類入三個類別根據它處理的不同的方法：
- 紅茶 (充分地發酵)
- Oolong或Wulong茶 (半發酵)
- 綠茶 (未發酵) -它由steaming新鮮的葉子生產在高溫-因此留下一個重大部分的營養和酵素美滿原封。 由於綠茶看并且品嘗更近植物的原始的情況，只有好和嫩葉子為做綠茶一般使用。 多數風味茶，例如茉莉花，由綠茶被做。
綠茶使用乾茶的1個到2個茶匙在一個杯子通常釀造沸水。 綠茶萃取物也是可利用的以膠囊形式。
許多我的女性朋友有習性喝綠茶在程度上像飲用水。 它不是驚奇，因為有些公司推擠綠茶，因為最新的(最容易的)方式丟失重量。
Study found that green tea caused rats to lose up to 21 percent of their body weight. Rats injected with a green tea extract lost their appetites and consumed up to 60 percent less food after seven days of daily injections. This may have something to do with the blood sugar regulating effects of green tea.
Now, which claim is true and what is my take on them?
Mun’s Comment:
- I rather position green tea as an alternative to coffee or soft drink for those are on diet. To promote it as slimming tea may be misleading. Based on what I found from Internet, those who drink green tea to replace their coffee are the group who actually notice a drop in their weight. I could not really find a really good study that definitively shows drinking green tea will help a person lose weight. Most often cited are studies which suggest green tea extracts “may” promote weight loss.
- You are not going to eat 5000 calories a day, drink a cup of green tea and make it all go away. Even if the loss of 79 calories a day is possible, it is better for you to jog to burn that calories because jogging will train your cardiovascular fitness.? A healthy diet and increased exercise will go a long way in helping you lose weight.
- Also, be cautious of the caffeine if you have health problems. For some people that have heart troubles, high blood pressure or stimulant sensitivities, the caffeine in green tea may not be ta good thing for you in long term. If you are worried about the caffeine from green tea, try taking green tea extract. Most green tea extract is made from decaffeinated green tea so you can still get the benefits without the caffeine.
- Instead of looking purely on the weight loss benefits, green tea does provide health benefits - eases digestion and brings about a slight drop in blood pressure. Chinese tea is also rich in various vitamins. For smokers, it helps to discharge nicotine out of the system.
Let’s look at what the clever businessman has made money from the green tea craze:
Green Tea Soap
Green Tea Cake
Green Tea Kit Kat
Green Tea Ice Cream
Green Tea Starbucks
Green Tea Hair Gel from Body Shop
Green Tea Hulk
For me, green tea is a healthy beverage. If green tea actually helps stimulate the body to burn calories, this is a great bonus. Again, let me emphasis again - There is no such thing as a ‘miracle’ weight loss food or drug.

Interesting… Funny thought that instead of decreasing my appetite, it increases mine! Probably because green tea can be a bit acidic too.
There is no miracle drug other than change of lifestyle, exercise and good eating habits.
I’m taking Japanese green tea which my system seems to tolerate better after my problems with acid reflux and heartburn from too much coffee or tea.
Of course, one must also be sure that the green tea we are taking are of good quality without much additives…

Love your pictures! I think the food industry takes a lot of things out of context when it comes to promoting that “miracle” food or pill that will help with weight loss. But as long as there are people willing to pay for the hope of a miracle, there will continue to people willing to sell that snake oil.

Good post Mun. I think green tea is a great alternative to less healthy options such as soft drinks. However, green tea weight loss patches are taking it way too far.

Eating fewer meals a day will help with rapid weight loss - This is a very prevalent rapid weight loss diet myth, and it has persisted because common sense dictates that this should be the case. The less we eat, the less calories we consume. Less calories should equal more weight loss, right? Well, the equation isn?t so simple. Your metabolism is the most important factor in burning fat quickly, and when we go too long between meals the body?s metabolism slows to a crawl.

If you’re trying to lose weight, there are some herbal teas that are said to be helpful. However, they can also cause your digestive system to go crazy, examples are Chinese herbal tea that make you always visit the you know… This is also an unpleasant way to do it. Although green tea is another story, of course.
