The Amazing Simple Weight Loss Facts Every Tea Lover Needs to Know
Are you tired of hearing about all the common sense ways to lose weight: eat less, reduce fat and sugar in diet, eating whole grains instead of processed wheat etc. Is there an easier way? As a tea lover I have wondered if in addition to being packed full of antioxidants, can the humble cup of green tea (or black for that matter) actually help us lose weight?
Now I'm not Chinese, so that crosses off the genetics factor, but I'm hoping that my love for tea at least is better than all those 'double skinny cappuccino's with vanilla syrup' from Starbucks that my colleague seem to consume daily - he wears Italian designer shoes, drives a pretty nice car but really needs some help with his choice of drinks.
So the pertinent question is, can green tea really burn those stubborn calories and help you lose weight? And if so how? Yes, with out a doubt it defnitely can, and it does so by one of 4 ways:
Green tea increases your body's metabolism (which means you burn fat faster): One well documented study reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that high doses of green tea extract significantly increased the body's energy burning capabilities -- burns fat faster. This is probably due to the high concentrations of catechin polyphenols found in green tea, which help increase fat oxidation as well as the rate that the body burns calories. One study even concluded that over a 24 hour period metabolic rate increased by 4% due to green tea extract -- note that is on super high doses of green tea extract but promising none the less.
Green tea inhibits your body's fat absorption and helps glucose regulation: Catechins in green tea help to inhibit the movement of glucose into fat cells, and may help as a glucose regulator. It prevents high insulin spikes after a meal, with the corresponding drop in blood sugar. high amounts of insulin in the body promotes fat storage, so regulating that is very important. We all too aware of the highs and lows after eating chocolate or a big bowl of pasta, well green tea helps to regulate that.
Now for the best part, green tea may help reduce appetite: One very crazy study by some even crazier scientists at the University Of Chicago (USA) found that green tea caused rats to lose up to 21 percent of their body weight. This was just with high daily injections of green tea; over only seven days (a long time in a rat's life) they consumed 60% less food and lost nearly one quarter of their weight. For humans to duplicate that we would probably have to swim in green tea for a year, but a promising study none the less and just shows how effective tea can be to help control and reduce weight. Again as mentioned above, this may well just have something to do with the blood sugar regulating effects of green tea.
Last but certainly no least, green tea can help you save calories on your morning brew: For a big tea drinking nation, England has transformed itself into a coffee addiction nation. We have moved from a sophisticated tea loving nation to a coffee on the run nation. Not just happy with fantastic speciality coffees from the most exotic places around the world, with coffee we done the equivalent as taking Ford Fiesta or Peugeot 206 and putting chromed wheels, drain pipe exhaust systems and rear spoilers -- costing more than the car itself. Nothing at all wrong with that, but it's still a Ford Fiesta or Peugeot 206! So coffee is no longer just coffee, it's now coffee regular or double-cream, with sweetner or sugar or a mocha, frappucinno and any other flavour of the day. Never mind that it no longer tastes like coffee, but it is wreaking havoc on our waistlines. Fortunately however green tea comes to the rescue, it has almost zero calories! You can even get fantastic little travel tea cups that allows you to enjoy freshly brewed loose leaf tea on the go or at your office desk with only hot water from the drinks machine -- you can save a fortune. Not only shave a couple of inches off of your waistline but off of your monthly budget, which really helps and the added bonus of being the weird but different guy on the other side of the office who is always doing the next 'trendy/hot' thing and drinking loose leaf tea at work! How 'normal is that! In short, it's not rocket science but definitely worth investigating none the less.
And remember if you embarking on this new green tea diet don't make it dull and boring - consider all the fantastic varieties out there. They say in France there is more than one cheese for every day of the year, in Belgium, more than one different beer for every day of the year. In China its more than one tea for every meal of every day for more than one year...who would not get excited about that?
