Green Tea – Lose Weight and Increase Metabolism
I was glancing at my wife’s copy of Us Weekly ( July 18 2005 ) when I came across a health hints section, called 7 easy ways to lose weight!
It turns out the section was an advertisement for a diet pill, but what interested me was tip #1:
- Drink a cup of green tea each morning. It’s a proven, natural metabolism booster.
The tips were actually pretty good, and I will repeat them here except for the diet pill recommendation. Diet pills would be a last resort in my opinion and should only be done based on the advice of your doctor.
Here are the tips:
- Drink a cup of green tea each morning. It’s a proven, natural metabolism booster.
- Eat breakfast. It gets your metabolism going and helps you avoid overeating throughout the day.
- [Removed Diet Pill Reference]
- Walk a mile each day. It’s a fun, healthy, and easy way to burn some calories.
- Say no to fast food. Eat twice as much as something healthy – vegtables and fruits are great choices.
- Drinks 10 ounces of water before each meal. It’s a simple way to say hydrated, and will keep you feeling satisfied longer.
- Stop eating at 8:00pm. Late-night grazing tends to include lots of calories, and can start a binge.
These sounds like pretty good health hints to me for losing weight.
As far as drinking green tea to lose weight, I mentioned in a previous post that I don’t think it is a silver bullet for losing weight, but I recommend it as part of your healthy diet and lifestyle. Here is my previous post:
