Does anyone drink Green tea, as part of their diet? I drink Diet Gree tea, as a part of my diet. I drink it everyday. I personally love it an only drink Green tea and water. It is suppose, to keep you from gainin weight.Since, i have been drinking it i have only lost weight and no gained any back



China and India have the highest obesity rates. Tea is a mild diuretic. If you substitute tea for sugar flavored drinks like pop or even orange juice you will probably lose weight. Also if you drink a lot of tea it will kill the appetite. If you drink tea as a medicine you will find another to replace it. Tea is no miracle cure but prolonged use seems to show up in population studies.

I drink green tea on occasion, but I much prefer black tea as my daily tea. In fact, I like to experiment with a wide variety of teas and tisanes just to keep things interesting.

Higher than, say, the USA? Do you have a source for that?

Use Google. Use terms like obesity china or obesity india and the suggested terms at the bottom of the results like statistics rankings etc. America is not a special case. The UK is fatter than Americans. So tea drinking at population levels doesnt seem to trim wastelines. If youre eating junk food tea isnt going to help. Also while Im here tea isnt going to prevent any health problems that occur with non tea drinkers. I dont even believe tea drinkers live healthier live styles than non tea drinkers.

The first hit I got on a search including the USA, India, and China explicitly was this:

Clearly the USA is far more obese than India and China.

Searching for just ?obesity by country?, the NationMaster compilation of OECD obesity statistics is the first hit. This puts the USA at #1 for obesity (30.6% of total population) and the UK at #3 (23%):

So what?s your source?

My source tea drinking countries have the same obesity problems as non tea drinking countries. The Brits are just a couple of percentage points behind US. You win the who is the most fattest whether they drink tea or not.

I do love drinking green tea. I usually take more than a cup of those It usually takes my mind off things

The Green Tea benefits in a human body are so remarkable that it i believed that the key to a longer and healthier life may just be brewin in your cup

But my whole body wouldn’t fit into any cup I’ve ever seen. Or did I misunderstand you?

I came across a factoid the other day. Tea boosts metabolism by 12%. Coffee by 8%. While patting myself on the back I read further water beats either by increasing metabolism 15%. Looked at it that way tea actually inhibits metabolism but explains why it is better than coffee.

It is slightly bitter but still I consume green tea twice a day fo weight purpose :D I have heard that instead of drinking green tea some people apply gree tea bags to their skin to soothe sunburn and prevent skin cancer due t sun contact. Green tea bags are also used to decrease puffiness unde the eye

I use to drink green tea twice a day and it keeps me healthy and fit all the day long and also keep me safe from various of diseases like cancer, diabetes, control my blood pressure level.

I drink Green tea every day in the night, It helps to reduce diabetic problems.

I would like to drink green teal.It help me control my sugar level and prevents many disease.

It can help reduce risk of cancer.
