Burn Fat with Green Tea?

If you haven’t heard, green tea is really good for weight loss and burning fat. If you take a look at the most popular and top rated fat burners, you will see that a huge majority of them have Green Tea listed as one of their main ingredients. (Check out our review on Hydroxycut Hardcore and Lipovox).

There is a reason that Green Tea is often included as the main ingredient in fat burners. Green Tea has numerous benefits and has been clinically studied as a fat burner. Let’s take a look at Green Tea’s benefits.

Green Tea Benefits

Green tea extract often replaces or is used together with caffeine. This combination is being used as a healthier and safer alternative to the popular ephedrine – caffeine – aspirin (ECA) fat burning stack that set the standard for burning fat back when ephedra was legal.

There is more to Green Tea then just burning fat. It also provides additional health benefits. First, Green Tea is a powerful anti-oxidant. Researchers have suggested that the active ingredient (called epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG) may be up to 200 times more powerful than vitamin E as an oxidant.

Green tea may be useful to slow the spike in blood sugar following a meal. It does this by slowing the action of a particular digestive enzyme called amylase. Amylase is pivotal in the breakdown of starches (carbs), that can cause blood sugar levels to spike following a meal. If you are having trouble managing your glucose levels, you might be interested in Green Tea.

Green tea also helps aid weight loss by increasing your metabolic rate, which causes your body to burn more calories.
In a recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (Vol. 81, No. 1, 122-129, January 2005), Green Tea consumption leads to both a lowering of bodyfat and of cholesterol levels.

Does Green Tea Work for Weight Loss?

Like many people I have bought many fat burners, like Hydroxycut and Lipovox, which contains over 400mg of green tea extract per serving. It’s too early to tell how effective this is in lowering my glucose levels, but with my recent experimentation with Lipovox has decreased my cravings and appetite, boosted my energy and I have lost 4 pound of FAT (not water weight) in less then 2 weeks. For me, 4 pounds is a lot since my body fat percentage hovers around 9%. The best part about green tea is that I did not get any headaches or jitters, like I used to when taking Ephedrine or Ripped Fuel.

Green Tea is definitely on of the more effective fat burning ingredients that we have seen in the past 5 years. It’s no “miracle pill”! But with a proper diet, some easy exercise you will lose weight. Add green tea to your diet and you will probably increase your weight loss results.

How do you get Green Tea?

The best way to get your green tea is from a popular fat burner that has it as one of its main ingredients. Lipovox, Xyphedra and Hydroxycut Hardcore all contain a healthy amount of green tea. There are many more products that include green tea as well.

You can also get green tea by drinking it in tea or coffee. I just don’t like drinking hot drinks before or after my workouts.

Green Tea Conclusion

It appears that green tea is one of the best health-promoting supplements and more importantly, a terrific fat burning supplement. Green tea has had many clinical studies backing up the claims surrounding its fat burning abilities. If you really want to burn fat and lose that extra weight, you should try supplementing your healthy diet and exercise program with some green tea.
