Green tea

I can’t survive without this amazing antioxidant. Green Tea increases your metabolism making you burn more fat. It helps suppress my appetite so I don’t over eat and defiantly helps with the sugar cravings I get. Green Tea prevents you from gaining weight by stopping the movement of sugar into your fat cells. Evidence shows that drinking green tea helps flush the fat out of your body. It also assists in reducing bloating. I notice the difference when I drink this everyday compared to when I don’t. My energy levels are also higher as well.
I love to make green tea in a Tea pot, but when I’m at work I’m not always able to do this. My favorite brand is Organics but that’s just my personal choice.

How I drink it:
Breakfast- I drink my coffee before I eat or you can drink a green tea if you don’t like coffee.
Morning tea- I will drink 2 cups spread out over 1 hour
Lunch- I will drink 1 cup before I eat my lunch
After lunch- I will drink one cup after I finish my lunch
Afternoon- I will drink 2 cups over the hour period before I leave work
I always drink a minimum 6 cups per day.

Add freshly squeezed lemon into your tea if you don’t like the taste or another flavored tea you enjoy eg Chai (note, it can’t have any added sugars).
It taste amazing cold as well. I boil water in a cup and let the green tea sit for about 20 mins, then i add it into a big jug with sliced lemon and put it in the fridge. Ready to drink nice and chilled!

You must remember to drink lots of water because green tea can dehydrate you if you don’t.

    I drink just as much green tea a day, too, and love it. I find green teas that contain jasmine, take away that bitter taste that sometimes happens if you leave the tea bag/leaves in for too long, and sometimes I just let it sit in there while I'm sipping my tea. The other thing I've started to do for the past couple of years is only use water at 75-80 degrees. Any hotter and it will actually burn the tea leaves, and surprisingly, it is SO much tastier this way, too. Just thought I'd share :) Thanks for your tips!

    All you said about green tea are true, particularly about its weight loss benefits. But, of course, even though studies have shown how this positively helps digestion, nothing would change much if you do not match it with a healthy lifestyle. Right, Danielle? ;) How long have you been in a green tea diet again?

    no I think it helps digestion much more when you incorporate green tea with healthy eating compared to just eating healthy. For centuries it has shown its amazing benefits. Its not a green tea 'diet' I just drink it everyday. Dani
