cubi, its not actually GREEN. but i guess any tea would affect whiteness of teeth? but thats what crest white strips are for. :D
 
Green tea DOES help. I love Mega T Green tea supplements. They help with my energy and really help with weight loss. Mega also makes Mega G grapefruit supplements, but I didn't like it as much as the Green Tea.

So... ehm.... why is it called green tea then? :eek:
 
Funny, the green tea I drink (forget the brand/mfg right now) is green, lol.

That said, a few friends of mine on another board have had great success with it (in losing weight). A few of them drink three 8 oz glasses per day.
 
hehehe... I drink green tea alot, because I love the way it smells tastes, and how healthy it is... usually it is more of a very pale yellowish brownish green color... it is green tea b/c it is not really dark like normal dark teas - the leaves themselves are green. I think that it is a very relaxing tea to drink, and like to use it while studying, b/c it doesn't overstimulate...
 
Green tea

The green tea that I drink is green :) I like it a lot. Hope it helps me in all those great ways! I just thought it would give me an energy boost!

My mom got me a tea set from Teavana, a tea store where she lives, and I absolutely adore it. The tea smells so good and is mixed with a variety of herbs and flowers. My set came with a green tea, a black tea, a white tea, and an herbal tea. Each one has its own health benefits. The thing that I really like about this tea is that it comes in a cannister in whole leaf form. You take a scoop or two of the tea and put it into a little single serve tea brewer (I'm not really sure what to call it), add hot water, and then you put the brewer contraption over a mug and it strains the tea into it. I'm not sure if they have a website, but any tea lovers out there should check it out!
 
I have tried to drink hot green tea...but I don't want to put in a cup of sugar in one cup to sweeten (it seems really bitter than usual teas)...What are some of the things you guys use to sweeten it?
 
Honey makes a good sweetener, and it's entirely natural. Also, splenda. It's made from real sugar, but it doesn't have any calories or anything. I use it in my cereal, a lot and mom and dad use it in their coffee.
 
Green Tea

I'm not sure if this has ever been posted before, but if so, I'm asking again. I've always known that green tea has antioxidants in it, but I've been reading about it so much on this forum that it helps with weight loss. I'd love to hear a little more info on this. Also, if anyone uses green tea regularly, how much do you incorporate into your diet?
 
Green tea is an excellent thing to drink. I recommend having some every day. Celestial Seasonings have a raspberry green tea that tastes so good. Yum!

I usually try to drink at least a mug of green tea everyday... it helps to boost your metabolism, which is why it is good for promoting weight-loss, and is also very low in calories (if it has any). Some people use pills, but I really like the taste of it, so I just drink some in the evenings or whenever...

you do want to be careful with the flavored teas, b/c sometimes they add in extra sugars... au natural green tea can be found anywhere, and while I drink it plain, a little bit of honey tastes fantastic with it.
 
Thanks for the suggestions! I love plain green tea too. I just stopped drinking it and replaced it with water, but maybe I'll start having a cup every day.
 
I've gotten the green tea instant stuff b4 like crystal light. it was labeled as having antioxidants. is that just as good? zero sugar,very low calories. they say while dieting drink tons of water. well what about adding those flavored packs to your drink? Im sippin on Peach tea right now. i sit at a desk all day and its hard to drink a gallon of water. get tired fo the flavor and alil natious. Fl water isnt all that great. any answers would be appreciated. :eek:

My friend and I began drinking green tea recently after hearing that it is beneficial to your health and helps with weight loss. I understand drinking 3 or more cups per day is optimum. We brew it, then chill it and drink it as iced tea.

I always throw out links to visit, and here is another one: . This link was actually referenced on Wikipedia (the free encyclopedia - .

It is a very long article; scroll down to Promotes Fat Loss or Increases Exercise Endurance. It states it lowers LDL cholesterol and triglycerides (one of my problems). The article does not endorse any particular brand.

Beware! It has a diuretic effect when you first start drinking it, so have a bathroom handy. I also read on that site it can interfere with iron absorption.
 
Green Tea For Healthy Living

I drink all sorts of teas but I also drink coffee and mostly water and my metabolism has never been higher. Being sick has never been a problem for me as I believe the tea is better than people think. I have lost 6 pounds since starting to drink green tea two months ago.

Green Tea: Does it work?

Hello, everyone!
I notice that someone else started a thread a while ago about green tea. I recently bought a box of Mega-T Green Tea capsules to boost my metabolism and help with my weight loss. I'm not expecting a miracle pill, but I'm curious to know if green tea helps, and how much. I've read all of the information on Green Tea and the Mega-T capsules, but has anyone else ever used them? Do they help? Any comments are appreciated. Thanks!

I doubt a capsule would do anything. Maybe drinking real green tea, on a regular basis, would have a positive effect.
 
Green Tea

I really only tried the pill for about a month and did not see a difference in body fat percentage. For the past year though I drink green tea consistently and have never felt better. It seems like feeling fit and healthy, maintaining 6% body fat, and staying away fromthe sick bug has not been a problem for me since drinking green tea for weight loss. I first did not like the taste of green tea or any tea by that matter but now I drink tea every day.
