  Green tea is good for you and is one of the five foods you are suppose to have in your diet EVERYDAY> I buy the Arizona Diet green tea from wal-mart. Green tea is full of antioxidants. Or make green tea and don't put sugar in it.
  The other four foods are. Whole grains, dark green leafy veggies( veggies and fruit), Low fat dairy, handfull of seeds or nuts. And of course lean fish and meats are good to eat to.

  yeah it works. dont worry about cutting back on how much you drink of it… just eat sensibly and when you feel the urge to eat something bad have a cup of green tea. i lost 4 pounds in the first two weeks doing this, and about a pound thereafter… its slow but the slower you lose weight the more likely you are not to gain it again

  that stuff has lots of antioxidents, it just helps clean your system, you are not going to loose weight, just by drinking green tea, you need to exercise

  I drink green tea everyday, but I dont think it helps to lose weight. It does speed up your metabolism though. It's a good drink instead of soda or juice. To lose weight and to see results, you can't do it without exercise.

  This is true , it does have weight loss properties and may help you lose some weight.I love green tea, you can buy the green or buy it as an iced tea mix or ready made in bottles.But if you don't always have the time to drink the tea, they sell it in a supplement capsule form like at drugstores, even wal mart has it on their shelves.Green tea is natures anti oxidant, and it won't cause any harmful side effects from drinking an excessive amount of it,its natural.It cleanses the body of all the nasty free radicals that cause diseases, I drink the cold tea sometimes, but when I'm on the go I take the capsules instead.The only problem I ever had from drinking green tea hot or taking the capsules is if I take it on an empty stomach, I get nausea from it, so I eat something light before I take it.Heres more info regarding health benefits..

  You wrote, " Umm they say if you drink green tea you loose alot of —".

  They may be wrong about it and at best partially correct.

  You can actually drink about 1 1/2 gallon of water, maximum per day. It will fill you up and you will eat less, but you must exercise also. Only way you can loose weight is by understanding the weight loss mechanism. Please read my articles on the subject and do as you wish.

  You must count calories and at least in initial stages write down what you are going to eat and when then stay on that list. Your total calories for the week must not exceed, 1500 x 7 = 10,500 calories this will give you leave way to indulge at special occasions like wedding and parties, but you must write down what you eat and account for the calories latter and adjust the total intake next week.

  While at it build your body too, while reducing by doing body parts specific exercises.

  If you are not too old, then best way to reduce your weight is to increase your height.

  Vegetarians have a big advantage, in loosing weight, it cost less and they can satisfy the hunger more easily, some vegetables have only 1 calorie per pound, so they can fill themselves up with it before enjoying each meal, and never go hungry.

  Most people should take one a day water soluble multi-vitamins when on this program; they can be purchased at the pharmacy near you.

  Who needs to loose weight?

  Answer is simply not every one, only the over weight person.

  Who is over weight?

  This is simple, it is easy to find out and it is available on line, it is call Body Mass Index, and calculations are simple. According to this calculation if you find your self say only 10 pounds more, you may not be over weight. Remember every one is slightly different and you can just watch it, on your own and not let it get out of hand.

  What is the reason for being over weight?

  This is also simple, have doctor check you out for any physical or hormonal abnormalities. The doctor should be advising you of your ideal weight even though you have already figured out the ideal weight and you are seen a doctor because your weight is not where it should be according to BMI.

  Basic understanding of loosing weight.

  Every one uses calories at all time. There may be some exceptions to this rule, for most of us; the rate of use, even when we are resting, we use 65 calories per hour minimum. This comes to1560 calories per day. The actual range is between 65 and 100 calories per hour. This is consistent with heart rate of 60 to 80 bits per minute.

  Simply put any person eating only say 1500 calories a day will not put on any additional weight. At this level of calories consumption the person should loose some weight over long haul, depending on the individual rate of metabolism.

  What is a healthy weight loss?

  When one tries to loose weight, one should loose excess fat; there should be a healthy loss of weight. Loosing muscles tissue is unhealthy.

  How much is one pound of body fat?

  One pound of body fat weight is approximately same as one pound of butter. If you look at a one pound package of butter, you will see it contains between 3200 to 3600 calories. This means that each time a person burns 3600 more calories then what the person takes in, the person will loose one pound.

  How many pounds should a person loose in a month?

  Any one that is trying to trim down can figure out how long it took to put on the excess pounds. The fact is; it did not happen over night. It usually creeps up, but the person realizes one day suddenly.

  This is why a person should not be in a hurry to loose weight. The person should start at once but go slowly. Do not wait for New Year.

  Taking above in to consideration a person should not loose more then 2 pounds per month. If a person looses any thing more then that, chances are that the person will not be able to maintain the weight loss. It will take extra efforts to loose and it will take extra efforts to keep it off. Remember slow and steady wins the race.

  When an overweight person should start loosing weight?

  At once. The person should not be in a hurry to loose weight. The person should start at once but go slowly. Again do not wait for New Year.

  How does body react to weight lose?

  Any time there is depletion of fat beyond certain level, the body reacts by slowing down metabolism, so that it can build up fat. If the body is use to say 2000 calories per day and detects only 1500 calories per day for considerable length of time it reacts to the situation by reducing the rate of metabolism. When this happens one need to help body by increasing activity. Usually takes about four weeks for body to react.

  What is the relationship between body and body fat?

  Under ideal condition fat act as a reserved energy source for our body. Certain level of fat is good for healthy living and even may save our life in certain life threatening situations. Every one should have minimum required level of fat on their body.

  What if there is no weight loss at 1500 calories in take level?

  This is a rear occurrence. Do not panic. The body has slowed down the metabolism to such a great extent that you must help it. The only way to help is to increase activities, this means you have to exercise.

Power walk burns 250 calories per hour and walk burns 100 calories per hour approximately.

  What is the importance of body fat for a female?

  Females require little more body fat then men. In the absence of certain required level of body fat, females are not able to function properly; in particular they may not be able to conceive. You can find lot more about this on internet.

  At 1500 calories intake per day what one must drink and eat?

  Drink

  One gallon of liquids most of witch should be in the form of water (zero calories).
  Calories should be accounted for all other liquids.

  Why water?

  Water is a universal solvent, means it dissolves almost every thing at least in very minute quantities. This helps purification of body.

  Eat

  What should be your proportionate in take of fat, Proteins and Complex Carbohydrates?

  This depends on what your need are.

  1.Need to reduce fat.

  Fat: 10 percent of 1500 calorie per day = 150 calories.
  Complex Carbohydrates: 30 percent of 1500 calories per day = 450 calories.
  Proteins: 60 percent of 1500 calories per day = 900 calories.

  2.Need more energy.

  Fat: 10 percent of 1500 calorie per day = 150 calories.
  Complex Carbohydrates: 40 percent of 1500 calories per day = 450 calories.
  Proteins: 50 percent of 1500 calories per day = 750 calories.

  3.Need to reduce weight only.

  Fat: 25 percent of 1500 calorie per day = 375 calories.
  Complex Carbohydrates: 25 percent of 1500 calories per day = 375 calories.
  Proteins: 50 percent of 1500 calories per day = 750 calories.

  4.Need to increase muscles bulk, but still reduce weight.

  Fat: 10 percent of 1500 calorie per day = 150 calories.
  Complex Carbohydrates: 15 percent of 1500 calories per day = 225 calories.
  Proteins: 75 percent of 1500 calories per day = 1125 calories.
  Exercise the muscles you want to develop, you can find right exercise on line, recommend use of light weights.

  Foot note: To take fat is so important, while reducing even fat, that it is included in all cases. If the fat is completely cut out, body will think of producing the fat, and will produce the fat by reducing metabolism, without fat in take, you may actually again weight even at lower than 1500 calorie level. You will feel run down and lethargic.

  How one must, drink and eat?

  Drink

  Every one may not be able to follow this regime.

  A 16 oz glass of water first thing in the morning will be very healthy start.
  If you need to stabilize your stomach before eating, you can have a glass of water just before each and every meal. This is the easiest way to meet your quota of gallon of liquids.

  Eat

  To day almost half the world is starving.

  In western culture. Standard healthy practice for long time was three warm square meals per day. No eating in between, but children were allowed night cap.

  All that has changed, present thinking is 5 to 6 times per day. Any way what practice one follows is up to them; to each his own.

  Another best practice will be a glass of water before bed time, nothing to eat for two hours before bed time.

  How do I know the calorie count for various drinks and food?

  If you are buying packaged items it is on the package.

  Go on the internet and find the calorie information.

  Lots of cook book now a days list calorie per serving.
  Use your best guess, in this method use higher figure then you have guessed.

  Increasing the Height
  By

  In rare cases, you can increase the height up to age 30.

  Cycling is good exercise and fun too.

  You need to adjust the seat so that when you paddle from seating position you will actually stretch your legs, it is a difficult position but doable. For safety you need to be on track and not in traffic, safety first.

  The FEW things I did at least helped me.

  Swimming.

  Not just playing in water, but serious laps type swimming, do not try to beat the clock but steady full strokes swimming. Remember slow and steady wins the race.

  Stretching exercises on floor.

  Find them on line.

  Chin ups.

  Full stretch type.

  Yes you can lose weight drinking green tea. 6 cups a day is a good amount. There are no scientific proof that green tea has any negative side affects. There is some speculation that if you have an existing Thyroid problem excessive amounts (80+ ounces) green tea can be a problem.

  I would drink evenly through the day. A good rule of thumb is to substitute your coffee or AM drink, your soda at lunch and your dinner drink with an 8 ounce glass of DIET or unsweetened green tea. I prefer arizona.

  It should not be the only thing you do for losing weight. There are several types of green tea, primarily Sencha and Gyokuro. The difference between the two lies in the way they are grown. Sencha is a higher grade tea grown in full sun; Gyokuro is grown in full shade. This article was very useful to me when deciding to use green tea as part of my diet. I hope you find it useful as well.
