Understanding How Green Tea Weight Loss Work

By Anna Burns


A lot of health experts are talking about the tea weight loss benefits. Just how does green tea really work to assist men and women lose weight? Are there any medical researches to support the weight loss benefit?

There can be several factors for gaining weight. However it comes down to two aspects. First is the having fattening food or food which will become fat. Second is the amount of fat burning. Green tea supports both elements.

Tea is made up of strong antioxidants known as catechins. Of all the catechins, epigallocatechin gallate often known as EGCG helps with weight-loss the best. EGCG stimulates thermogenesis which is the activity of producing heat in human body. This accelerates metabolic rate which speeds up the fat burning process. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, tea enhances metabolism by 4 percent.

Scientists in Japan conducted a human experiment related to green tea extract weight loss benefits. 38 adult males participated for the study. One half of the participants received green tea extract as part of daily diet plan and the other half were given just the daily food. After 12 weeks, participants with green tea extract diet plan resulted sizeable reduction in body weight and waist compared to the participants without the green tea extract.

Green tea additionally helps with limiting the amount of food intake. In a lab analysis, green tea extract was given to a group of mice and placebo was provided to the other group. After seven days, the group which was given tea extracts loss appetite and decreased their food intake by 60 percent. Fewer consumption of calories led to fat loss.

According to the researchers, the loss appetite was a result of the reducing of blood glucose level. Tea's Antioxidants allow sugar to enter the bloodstream at a lower speed which reduces unexpected surges in insulin. Many people with excessive blood sugar level are going to feel hungrier and tired. Increased balanced sugar circulation aids with preventing body fat storage and craving for food.

Last advice for people eager about trying green leaf tea as a weight loss supplement is to be sure to consume tea without any additives. Lots of the iced tea beverages available in a convenience store include artificial additives including sugar. This defeats the objective of removing extra weight. It is better to produce own tea and maybe simply add organic citrus juice such as grapefruit juice to further improve antioxidants. If brewing is too much of a work then consider green tea capsules. Plenty of supplements are sugar-free plus some have vitamins for added health advantages.
