Does Drinking Green Tea Really Help You Lose Weight?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Basically, it seems to speed up metabolism compared to just drinking water.  It raises body temperature slightly, and it evens out blood glucose levels.  You could also speed your metabolism up by drinking black tea, or getting more exercise, or chugging Red Bull or taking various other herbs.

    That drinking green tea can lead to net weight loss is hard to prove.  And it can't have a huge impact.  How many caffeine addicts do you know that are fat?  I know quite a few.

    This page contains a detailed summary of research to date, and basically comes up with the statistic that drinking green tea daily may lead to a net loss of 5 lbs (2kg) of excess weight over a period of "months".

    Now, I don't know about you, but most the overweight people I know need to lose a lot more than 5 lbs.

    So, green tea may help lose a little weight or even keep it off.  But it's a very small effect, in most people.  Certainly a very small effect in people already living the western lifestyle:  Too much junk food, too little activity.
