A diet plan utilizing green tea for weight loss is a great idea for those who are not into counting calories or willing to spend hours in the gym. In addition, adding green tea to a weight loss program you are already on will boost the effectiveness of that plan.

Green tea has one major advantage that no other diet product I can think of has: it has a thousand-year history of use with little or no known side effects. Not only is it an all natural, side effect free product but it also has the bonus of being one of nature's greatest health food products as studies have indicated that it reduces the risk of heart disease, lowers bad cholesterol and may even lower the risks of some forms of cancer. Can any diet pill, weight loss shake or other diet supplement those same claims? (That was a rhetorical question as the answer is no).

Green tea is now available everywhere. It is becoming a popular choice for more and more people every day. It is an acquired taste, although a taste which many people enjoy. Even so, the health benefits, and especially the subject of green tea weight loss, is what's really catching the attention of the western world.

Green tea originated in China, but has always been culturally associated with South East Asia, Japan and the Middle East. In the West, black tea blends have always been favored. Recently green tea has been the subject of much research. There has been some evidence to suggest that it can reduce the risk some cancer types and heart disease. As well as lowering cholesterol, and even aiding weight loss.
