Green Tea Weight Loss - Fast Weight Loss?

Green Tea for Weight Loss-

Green tea, more formally known as Camellia Sinensis, is a beneficial plant that is native to China. However, its usage is gaining popularity the west. Used for thousands of years in the East, green tea claims to lower chances of heart disease and cancer. Its most alluring quality may be its safe and fast weight loss promises. Is this a real claim, or is it hype?

Beware of Extreme Weight Loss Claims-

Many product manufacturers will claim that their tea drinks will promise extreme weight loss. Green tea alone will only burn about 50-80 calories/5 cups (more on this below). However, coupled with other active ingredients such as Hoodia Gordonii (yes, it's safe), it creates an extreme weight loss combination.

How Does Green Tea Work?

This tea works by inducing thermogenesis - the process of heat production in organisms. When this happens, your body starts to burn fat. The end result- your metabolic heart rate increases by at least 4% without increasing heart rate. Sounds great- right? It may sound great, but what if your product manufacturer does not offer 100% natural tea? One that I have tried (ProShapeRx) does offer 100% natural green tea and Hoodia Gordonii. It did not make me feel jittery, and yes- I did lose weight. I saw results in about 10 days. I previously tried a Platinum HCG diet supplement, and I loved the results. I stopped when I had to fight terrible headaches for hours at a time. ProShapeRx left me with no noticeable side effects and a few pants sizes smaller. Keep in mind that I did eat a healthy diet, and I started a fitness regiment around the same time of trying ProShapeRx.

Green Tea Weight Loss Plan-

Here is an interesting fact: one pound of fat= 3,500 calories. In order to lose 1 lb /week, a person must maintain a caloric intake under 3,500 calories. In simple terms- 1lb of weight loss/week = a deficit of 500 calories per day! You can couple this with diet and exercise. An hour of cardio will easily burn 500 calories. Eat 5 less cookies /day and you are up to a 1,000 calorie deficit (if you include cardio). As mentioned earlier, using a tea supplement would significantly boost metabolism and burn fat. Drinking the tea alone will only burn a few calories, but using a supplement with other active ingredients would create fast weight loss. Studies show that green tea supplements may burn an extra 400-500 calories/day. The important factor: Do your homework. Check out the product and make sure it offers a money back guarantee. You do not want to be stuck with a fast weight loss claim that does not live up to its hype.
