Green Tea has natural chemicals that help you feel full sooner and help your body burn more fat.

Green tea is filled with the compound catechin polyphenols, chemicals that act both as an antioxidant and as a metabolism (fat burning) booster. Green tea has about 27 percent catechins per cup, while black tea (orange pekoe) has just 4 percent per cup.  Catechin polyphenols are natural chemicals that make your body burn more fat.

Drink at least 5-10 cups of green tea a day.  I know it is quite a challenge, you will know what I mean when you get to the 5th cup of the day.  Green tea can be counted as part of your total daily water intake.  The tea will help you feel full and help your body burn more fat.

Should I use tea bags or loose tea?  You may want to start using tea bags for ease of use if you are a beginning tea drinker. However, eventually, you may want to switch to loose tea which is higher quality and makes a better tasting cup of tea.  A good green tea, such as sencha can be steeped (soaked in hot water) 2-3 times, so although it costs more, you can use it more and it is better for you.
