green tea

[Connemmara]

Any truth regarding green tea helping you to lose weight. If there is where would I buy it. I guess Hollands and Barretts.

If you drink only green tea you will lose weight - as long as you don't eat anything either!

Seriously, I don't know about the wieght issue, but green tea is available is almost all the big supermarkets now and in several brands as well as the health food shops. Clipper and Twinings do it for starters.

It's tea without milk and sugar, of course it's less fattening.

I have taken green tea to loose weight and also followed a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetable and no meat and dairy and I have lost weight.

Not sure about weight loss but it really helps with digestion. You can buy it almost anywhere now, most supermarkets have it

airam i'm guessing it was the diet and not the tea that made you lose weight.... I was advised to start on green tea after my stroke, basically if you think about it, westerners smoke, and have a lot of strokes, the chinese smoke even more, yet are a lot physically healthy than us, it's also their diet, but green tea is rich in antioxidents which go to the unhealthy parts of your body to help them, not saying it cures illnesses, but it does help keep colds e.t.c at bay, I have mild green tea with a hint of Lemon, which you can buy from Tesco, you can also buy regular green tea there also, but if you're just starting out it's an aquired taste, i'd start on the light version and work your way up the strenght's as you get used to it, hope this helps!
