  you still have to calorie shift your food intake and workout 5 or 6 days a week doing cardio and toning exercises…i love my green tea warm and flavoured with 2 or 3 tsp of any fresh citrus fruit juice,grapefruit juice is the best!

  you should usually drink green tea made at home as the ones from shops have added preservatives and other chemicals even though they say they don't. both burn the same amount of calories just be wary of the packet.

  Green tea is gud but when combined with exercise & healthy eating.

  The key to weight management is energy balance. To keep your weight steady, you have to burn the calories that you eat. To lose weight, you have to burn more calories than you take in.

  Is it easy? Not always. But neither is it complex.

  It’s all about balance, moderation and exercise.

  Based on recent research, here are some ideas for weight management:

  · Fill up on fewer calories – Water and fiber provide no calories even in a large amount of food, so eating foods with a high water or fiber content – such as broth–based soups, fruits and vegetables - can help you feel more full while eating fewer calories. On the other hand, steer clear of fat, which provides a large number of calories even in small quantities.

  · Eat breakfast - Skipping breakfast is not a good weight management strategy. In fact, studies have found that breakfast skippers tend to have a higher weight for their height than breakfast eaters. And, according to a study on the eating habits of 3,000 people who had successfully lost weight – at least 30 pounds each – 90 percent of those who ate breakfast almost every day were able to maintain their weight loss for at least one year.

  · Get the whole grain - Eating more whole grains is a healthy part of weight control. In a 12-year study of more than 70,000 nurses, women who ate more whole grains weighed significantly less than those who ate less. Eating more whole grains also was linked to gaining less weight over time.

  · Be active – Exercise offers a host of health benefits: It burns calories, strengthens bones and muscles, helps relieve stress, and enhances self-esteem, to name just a few. Experts recommend 30 minutes of physical activity each day.
