does it take a long time for that to happen?
about how long?
will drinking 2 cups a day make it faster?
i have SUCH a slow metabolism. i can gain alot of weight by eating a little bit.
i eat breakfast, lunch, and something small [like an orange or apple] for dinner.
and i drink a good amount of water.
my brother eats like a pig, and never gains weight.
i have a slow metabolism.

personal story: I drank 4-5 cups of plain green tea every day for 3 months and I lost 15 lbs..
unfortunately I gained it all back after i stopped because i was getting a little edgy from the buildup of constant caffeine intake especially late at night..
btw. green tea will also put you in a good mood and make you a lot smarter..

here, these tips may help you…
Get active - it's a sure-fire way to increase the amount of muscle you have, which in turn will speed up your metabolism. Do a mixture of aerobic and resistance training for best results. And don't forget to be more active in your daily life too.
Eat little and often - there's evidence that eating small, regular meals throughout the day, rather than one or two large meals, may help to keep your metabolism ticking over. Surprisingly, around 10 percent of the calories we use each day go on digesting and absorbing food - so the more times you eat, the greater this effect is likely to be.
Eat plenty of protein-rich foods - research shows that around 25 percent of calories in a protein-rich meal may be burnt off. But make sure you choose low-fat protein foods such as lean meat, skinless chicken and low-fat dairy products.
Spice up meals - it's not an old wives tale after all! Spices like chilli are thought to raise metabolism by up to 50 percent for up to three hours after eating, due to increasing your heart rate. But before putting the local Indian takeaway on speed dial, work out which curries have the lowest calorie and fat content.
Swap you daily cuppa for green tea - there's evidence that it contains antioxidants that speed up metabolism.so you are doing good there!! ^_^
Chill out - research shows that being very cold can increase metabolism by up to 20 percent.
Have a sauna - being very hot is also thought to boost metabolism by about 20 percent (but check you don't have any underlying medical problems that mean you shouldn't go in saunas or steam rooms).
you were right about the tea… I hope these tips also help you out!!
