How does green tea help to reduce weight?

It is scientifically proven that green tea burns extra calories and impedes fat  absorption in human body. Green tea contains an antioxidant called epigallocatechin gallate(EGCG) which stimulates metabolism and that results in weight loss. The combined effect of EGCG and caffeine causes release of fat into the blood stream which the body uses as fuel for various activities.

This process referred to as ‘thermogenesis’ ultimately leads to losing weight. This also helps in another way- by providing more energy to exercise more.

How is green tea different or more effective than other tea varieties

Like green tea, black tea and oolong tea are produced from the same plant, Camellia sinensis. The major difference is that for green tea, leaves are not fermented before steaming and drying. Compared to other varieties, green tea has the highest concentration of catechin polyphenols, which accelerate fat oxidation and thermogenesis.

Right amount of intake for desired results

Making green tea a part of your life is not that difficult. It’s just adding green tea to your daily diet. You can drink green tea instead of tea or coffee, before and after the meals.

What you need to know is the calories that you eat in the morning will be burned easily during the day, while you’re working.

There are so many diet foods in a retail store nowadays. Buying this type of food will led you to belief that you could eat more of it since it’s a diet food. So, it must be safe, right? Wrong! That’s why you shouldn’t eat any of it because it will make you crave for more.

You need to follow your diet plan and stick with it for at least 30 days before you change to the new ones. It’s to make sure you already follow the diet plan and let it to show the results. If it didn’t, change it after you follow it for at least 30 days. If it does, keep going with it.

Gym also a good place to find a friend that you could ask to do the diet plan together. Getting a friend could increase your motivation and get a higher the success rate of your diet plan.

8. Setting your goals too high.

Other benefits of the Okuma’s Wu Long tea that the Japanese Research founds are:
- the eczema could clears up in 30 days after the first time you drink it
- reducing free radicals in your body

In one of the old Chinese pharmaceutical book called “Bencao Shiyi “(The Compendium of Materia Medica), you could find the quote that says tea “will make one live long and stay in good shape.” Tea, especially the Okuma’s Wu Long tea comes from China’s Fujian Province where the ladies in there drink this type of tea for generations. This special tea helps melting the body fat they have, clear their skin, and even boost their energy.

Eating small but often will keep you energized during the day and prevent you to want “something more” to eat. It also helps to burn your calories faster, and distribute the fat in your body properly.

Doing the walking or jogging is great for your weight loss program. However, the effectiveness in walking could beat down the jogging. It is because when you walk; you increase your heart rate to a fat-burning level, maintain it that way, and have a long-lasting result. But, when you jogging, your heart rate increasing to the aerobic levels, and will drop as soon as you stopped the activity. That’s why it would be better for you to choose walking than jogging.

2. Get a small portion of your favorite foods. It also suggested that you cut your portion in half, especially the ones like hamburger, french fries, and other greasy food. It’s good for you because the calories in your body will reduce significantly and make your body accustomed to it.

3. Get a good night sleep. If you have a bad habit of sleeping not more than 3 hours per day, you should change it right away. If you have a good night sleep, your body will process the food more efficiently than sitting on a sofa. A good night sleep also gives you more energy to face the next day. Remember, an undisturbed night sleep is much better than none.

4. Reduce your stress. Having a high stress level will interfere your weight loss program and affect your physiological effect. Before you get stressed by looking at a pile of projects on your hands or a long to-do list that needed to be done, organize yourself first. Start tackles what needs to be done one by one, and do it as soon as possible, preferable as soon as you get it. By doing it this way, you could reduce your stress level.

5. Drink plenty of water. Water could help you to detoxify your body from harmful substance, hydrates your cells, and moisture your skin. Besides water, you could drink some green tea or juice that is effective to burn fat.

If you’re in love with caffeine and seems can’t go anywhere without one, make sure you also drink a glass of water along with your cup of coffee. Ask your friend to do the same weight loss program that you have, so you’re both could cheer up each other and keep yourselves on track.

Being a people with obesity, I see people from a different point of view. I got jealous of the people who seems healthy and fit, while comparing them with myself. I used to feel depressed and stressed just by thinking what I could do to be like them. But it doesn’t mean I didn’t do anything to lose several pounds. I do. I try every single diet plan, pills, or programs, but none of them seems to works for me. So, I dumped them all, mostly in the next 3 days after I try them. Why did I do that? Simply because the program is too boring, require me to exercise a lot, even restricted me by not allowed me to eat any of my favorite foods at all.

I keep doing this until I realize that I need something easy. I need a diet plan that I would be followed happily without sacrificing the chance to eat my favorite foods. Yes, even if it takes more time to see the results.

The first things I do are asking myself the following questions, and answer all of them honestly.

1. What makes you overweight? I often eat junk foods and never exercise but once a month, if I remember to do that.
2. How determined you are to lose weight? Very! I’ll sacrifice my left arms just to lose several pounds a week.
3. Are you willing to do this in a longer period or do you want it to be as fast as possible? I like the sound of the last one, but if it makes me can’t eat what I want, even for a tiny portion, I choose the first one, please.
4. Could you discipline yourself to follow the diet plan? Of course! I will discipline myself even if I have to pay my sister to kick me when I missed the diet plan.

After I answer the questions, I will put it in the place where I could see those most, in my bathroom and near the TV. It constantly reminds me about the diet plan that I have and stick with it for a longer period of time.

Then, I start to find a diet plan that could take me to my goal without skinning the fat from my body myself. These are the weight loss plan that I follow and still do until today:

1. Things That I Must Do
- Eat three healthy meals per day. (Recently, I changed it into 6 small meals per day because it calms me from eating as much as possible during lunch, and I constantly eat after 3-4 hours which prevent me to become hungrier before the next meal).
- Fun exercise. (I can’t picture myself running, collapsed, and dragged by my dog. So, I choose the easier exercise like walking with my dogs for an hour or two everyday, parking as far as possible from my office, or use the stairs. It’s quite fun and doesn’t feel like exercise at all).
- Cooling my head when the temptation to eat is strong. (I grab some apples or oranges if I tempted to finished a whole bucket of ice cream, and go for a walk).

2. Things That I Must NOT Do
- Having snacks between meals. (This is the reason why I changed my meals into 6 small portions, because I don’t have time to worry about snacks when my next meals in the next couple hours).
- Eat too many junk foods. (Well, I allow myself to eat junk food for lunch every Sunday. I never overeat, but it lessens my cravings for junk food. A bit hard at first, but it slowly becomes a habit).
- Lie about what I’ve been eating. (My food journal constantly checked by one of my family member, usually my sister. She’s very helpful to keep me on track).

This is sound very easy to follow. It is, by the sound of it. Try it for 3 days, and get a bit bored. Try it for a week, it’s quite fun. Try it for 2 weeks, it becomes a habit that I couldn’t let go even if you pay me. This diet plan probably not make you lose 5 pounds per week, but I’m aiming the less conservative, 1 pound a week. It’s not that hard to achieve though.
