Green Tea Weight Loss Aid
There's lots of talk out there about green tea weight loss aid products. So what is the truth about green
tea and weight loss?
Can green tea help you burn fat and get a six pack?
Green tea weight loss benefits have been claimed for years by many supplement
manufacturers. But can green tea really help you burn that fat faster and therefore give you sexy six pack abs?
A Swiss study conducted in 1999 and reported in the American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition found that men given green tea extract experienced faster fat oxidation and raised metabolic rates.
As a result, the men lost more weight than men given caffeine alone or than men given a
placebo.
The study concluded that green tea extract might well have fat burning properties and
enhance weight loss due to its combination of high levels of antioxidants and caffeine.
Another study at the University of Chicago found that the compound ECGC found in green
tea can lower levels of glucose and lipids in blood. Furthermore, the study found that ECGC might help reduce
abdominal fat deposits.
Another study at
the University of Chicago’s Tang Center for Herbal Medicine Research found that ECGC from green tea can lead to
a reduction of body weight of up to 21 percent.
Furthermore, ECGC was seen to dramatically lower appetites in rats, leading to the
weight loss.
Green tea extract and six pack abs
What does this all mean for people looking to tone their abs? Green tea extract is
believed to be a safe and useful aid in helping people eat less and reduce abdominal fat.
By reducing abdominal fat deposits, it can help you reveal your abs faster (when
combined with ab exercises and a reasonable eating plan), and this can give you those six pack abs you have been
wanting for so long.
Green tea weight loss research is ongoing, but Green tea extract is believed to have
wide ranging health benefits, in addition to its metabolism enhancing` and abdominal fat burning properties.
Therefore, while it is always wise to consult with your doctor before starting on any
supplement, it definitely seems worthwhile trying this relatively inexpensive supplement as part of your abs
routine.
Green tea extract might just provide you with a quicker route to sexy, ripped abs.
