It won't help you lose weight. You need to stop eating as much and exercise more. There is no magic bullet, just sensible eating and exercise…..

just a cup, a normal cup, not a mug. and once a day is enough to get you through a period of time where you might want to be snacking. it supresses hunger basicly.

As with anything else, it will only help if the rest of what you eat and drink is low in fat and sugar

Hello, I just answerd a similar question to someone else, I am just copying and pasting it, and I am hoping you will get some answer of your question, you may also like to try couple of cups in a day to make sure if it suits you. I really dont think, it can be bad for you, however just like too much coffee it may suppress your appetite:
I have been drinking green tea from last 30 years. I would say on the basis of my experience that there is no specific time to drink green tea, I drink green tea any time and I have always gotten great results in terms of weight loss. I would also suggest you that use green tea in liquid form and with few drops of fresh lemon juice (it would give you great taste and also good to lose weight fastly).
For strictly weight losing purpose, you may like this:
"Drink three cup of green tea everyday. One before breakfast, one before lunch and one around 3 o’clock.
The extra fluid from green tea will help food expand in your stomach. Hence you will feel full by eating less food. Also, Green tea will help you digest faster.
Green tea can impede the absorption of iron. However, it can be fix by adding milk and lemon in tea".

Green Tea Helps You Loss Weight
Green tea is believed to be a potential agent, which can help you to loss weight. Weight loss has become a serious matter in the present world. The possible reasons for weight loss can be many such as lifestyle factors, the diet and stress and strain the modern life. Irrespective of the possible reasons, there is a need for an ultimate solution since the weight gain or obesity can lead to many serious health hazards such as diabetes, and the heart diseases. Green tea is projected as an effective weight loss remedy since many of the reports show positive effects.
Nature green tea is better than artificial greens tea product
Green tea is primarily appreciated for the weight loss since it is a natural substance. Now, many artificial products are available in the market, claiming that are effective for weight loss. Since most of them manifested side effects, people have started searching for reliable natural products. Green tea is an herbal decoction, which is made from the unfermented leaves of Camellia sinensis. It is a proven stimulant that is regularly used as a beverage in the eastern countries. It is postulated that the green tea have medicinal properties and the traditional medicinal systems support the argument with evidences. It can be used to protect the heart, liver, skin, pancreas, oral systems and most importantly as a curative for cancer. However, the effectiveness of the green tea to loss weight cannot be proved from the medicinal properties. But, the scientific crowd is relying on the active ingredients of the green tea.
How green tea promote weight loss
Green tea is recommended for the diet aid mainly because of its multifaceted effects on health. The major active component that attributes the properties to the green tea are the polyphenols such as catechin, epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, gallaogatechin, epigallocatechin, and apigallocatechin gallate (known as EGCG). Even though it have alkaloids such as caffeine, the EGCG is effective to compensate their effect and trigger the metabolism rate. The studies show that EGCG, which is a natural antioxidant, is also an effective thermogenic that can burn off the calories. Using the green tea, energy expenditure and metabolic rate is hiked at a rate of 4%, which will certainly help you for weight loss.
Green tea catechins will also acts as a glucose regulator. It regulates the insulin level in the body and inhibits the sudden rise of insulin in the body after the food, which may initiate the fat conversion. The lowering of the insulin level prevents the sugar level rise and the fat storage, which ultimately prevent the weight gain. And, the influence in blood sugar level has proven some effect in the appetite level, also. The continuous intake of green tea is suspected to decrease the appetite, which naturally contribute to the weight loss.
To add on, if you do not even count any of the above attributes of herbal green tea too, a simple factor will certainly add a cutting edge to green tea. If you are lenient enough to just substitute the usual morning drink, which is rich with calories, with a cup of green tea itself can definitely help you loss weight.
How to use green tea for your diet
The easiest way to include green tea in your diet is to drink it. However, you could also use greentea extract pill and green tea patch.
Drink green tea – This is the best way and the most effect way to get the full benefit from green tea. Since it is still unknown which anti-oxide in green tea encourage fat loss, it is the best to take it with its original form. The easiest way is to put green tea bag in hot water and let it rest for 3 to 4 minutes. However, you could also try LIPTON Diet Green Tea with Citrus or LIPTON Diet Green Tea with mix barriers (most believe commercial tea product contain only small amount of tea)
Good luck!!!

Sorry to disappoint you it is useless!
You join the gigantic band of hopefuls hoping to loose weight by doing nothing. There are currently 145 old sets of answers for you to look at on this site asking the same green tea question.
If there really was an easy way of loosing weight do you not think we would all be using it, don't you think health professionals would be shouting from he rooftops ' DRINK GREEN TEA' and we can fix the obesity epidemic that is costing the Health Service a fortune, not to mention the time doctors spend on obesity related issues!
Less in more out, a balanced diet, 30-40 minutes of vigorous exercise 4-5 days a week. Get off the couch!

Yes, it will. You should drink 4 cups of it……….no more & no less, if you want to lose weight. Studies have shown that a woman that drinks 4 cups will increase her metaboism & as a result, burn an additional 100 calories a day. It is best to drink it using the tea bags (like the ones you bought).
If you need to make it taste better, add some lemon to it (either lemon juice or True Lemon crystals). But, whatever you do, DO NOT add milk or sugar. Adding sugar will make is so that you do not actually lose weight & numerous studies have shown that adding milk actually negates & destroys the anti-oxidents in it.
If you have a tough time drinking it hot (due to the weather becoming hotter), what I do is make a batch of it & stick it in the fridge, so I have a homemade iced tea (& 100% natural w/o any preservatives)
