Green tea does indeed increase metabolism by creating a thermogenic effect in the body. It will increase resting metabolism by approximately 4% over a 24 hour period. However, you have to drink quite a bit of it to get this effect. Roughly 10 cups of tea are required to notice any metabolic side effects. You could do what many of us do if you don’t want to drink tea all day and take the extract that comes in pill form. One capsule will typically contain the equivallent of 10 cups of tea and have no caffiene.
BTW, the active ingredient in Green tea is not the caffeine. It is believed that the catechin-polyphenols found in green tea are what effect the levels of norepinephrine in the body causing energy to be wasted and therefore more to be required. Look for an extract that is standardized to at least 60% polyphenols.
If you choose to drink the tea be sure you get a caffinated blend, as the decaf is much weaker than the regular. And never add cream or milk as this will negate the thermogenic effects.
All teas and coffees contain some carbs / calories – but very few. If you use the carb counter tool on this forum (under LC Tools atop every page in orange highlight) you can get an exact count for various types of teas and coffees.
i advise you to drink green tea 1-3 glasses per day
green tea speeds up your metabolism
drink lots and lots of water 8 glasses each day.
do not snack
do not eat 6 meals a day, try to only eat 3
if you are really hungry and you’ve had all your daily meals snack on fruits ( oranges, apples, bananas )
exercise more try and run for at least 30 minutes a day
get more active
get more sleep it prepares your body
stretch, yes it works and it doesn’t just help you lose weight it helps with you’re growing to make you a little taller
count your calories try to stay under the amount of 1300 calories per day
change you’re lifestyle it makes a difference
do not eat candy or chips eat more greens or protein bars
avoid fast food and cut out fried food when you cook your meal oven cook your food do not fry it
chew gum because when you chew gum you do not pick at food for example if theres some chips in you’re cupboard you go to them a think good damn they look good then you would say no i cant pick at them because i dont wanna throw my gum away
do not eat after 6pm because before 6pm you can burn all you’re food off and if you eat after six it will lay on you’re stomach as you eat.
do not eat before you go to sleep
drink a glass of water before you go to sleep
drink plain hot kettle water because it speeds up you’re metabolism
do not weigh you’re self everyday because it torments you,weight you’re self once a week ( every Monday )
good luck!
you can safley lose 2 to 3 lbs. a week
also for abs try, lay on your back, put your hand over your head on the floor you can even hold on to something heavy to keep you down and then lift your legs up and down it burns but it works really good! <3
Exercise that focus on the abdomen. Requires discipline, though, which you seem to admit you don’t have.
