Green Tea..

I should prob put this in teh Slim Down Forum, but I was watching the news last night and they said if you drink green tea instead of coffee, in 6 weeks you will loose 10 pounds. Without changing anything else you are doing.

Anyone drink Green Tea?

Re: Green Tea..

hmmm....don't know how that works, but I guess it's worth a try....
I drink green tea once in a while! It's a GREAT antioxidant...
What they don't tell you though is to get optimal results, use loose leaf green tea and make with a strainer....Also, don't let your water come to a complete boil...you lose some of the essential minerals and other good stuff!

Re: Green Tea..

I don't want to loose 10 pounds, I was just wondering if anyone tried this. Good point though!

Re: Green Tea..

the only Green Tea I like is the Arizona Green Tea with honey and Ginseng, but that has sugar in that.

I love Green Tea, never knew about the weight thing.

Re: Green Tea..

Yeah, I didn't mean optimal results for weight loss...I just meant optimal results in general for Green Tea b/c it has so many healthy properties in it that are lost in a tea bag and BOILING water....

(not that I'd mind losing the weight either :)

Re: Green Tea..

I drink green tea - b/c I love it, not to lose weight. FH brings me the loose leaves everytime he goes to Japan...so I agree - the loose leaves are much better than any bagged tea I've had.

Green & Jasmine tea's are my FAVORITE!!!

Re: Green Tea..

I love green tea and I even make green iced tea, only thing is I don't drink coffee

Re: Green Tea..

I drink the Arizona diet green tea constantly, and it's the most refreshing drink (aside from good old water).

I'd love to lose 10 pounds in 6 weeks, but I don't think it's too likely because I never drank coffee, so I wouldn't be making a substitution.

Re: Green Tea..

They're saying INSTEAD of coffee, drink green tea. As in, don't drink coffee - it's not good for you - drink green tea b/c it is AND you could lose weight.
