Green Tea - Fat loss ?

[pkgr33n]

So I did a bit of research etc and found CLA wasn't too good, but green tea was proven to help in fat loss.

So what kind of green tea products can I buy for fat loss?

Heres one:

What others etc do you recommend? Any in the form of the actual tea or is this pill form better?

Thanks.

yeah green tea works mate, also helps you shit more (srs) ...getting the pills are all good but for some reason I prefer the actual tea too...if you can find some asian place you can get a big bag from them for shit all, what's good about it is it doesn't take much to make some tea and when you're done you can pour some hot/boiling water over the leaves and drink it again...I sometimes do that 3 times a day, as does my BFF Dave and he's been losing fat pretty well .

May the light shine forever

Im taking the bb.com brand green tea extract at the moment. Good price for sure. It stacks really well with EC which, apart from the antioxidant properties, is the main reason I take it. It has been proven to increase thermogenesis and fat oxidation to a greater degree than its caffeine content would explain (see below study)

Good write up in this link

Study:

Am J Clin Nutr. 1999 Dec;70(6):1040-5.

Efficacy of a green tea extract rich in catechin polyphenols and caffeine in increasing 24-h energy expenditure and fat oxidation in humans.

Dulloo AG, Duret C, Rohrer D, Girardier L, Mensi N, Fathi M, Chantre P, Vandermander J. Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Geneva.

BACKGROUND:

Current interest in the role of functional foods in weight control has focused on plant ingredients capable of interfering with the sympathoadrenal system.

OBJECTIVE:

We investigated whether a green tea extract, by virtue of its high content of caffeine and catechin polyphenols, could increase 24-h energy expenditure (EE) and fat oxidation in humans.

DESIGN:

Twenty-four-hour EE, the respiratory quotient (RQ), and the urinary excretion of nitrogen and catecholamines were measured in a respiratory chamber in 10 healthy men. On 3 separate occasions, subjects were randomly assigned among 3 treatments: green tea extract (50 mg caffeine and 90 mg epigallocatechin gallate), caffeine (50 mg), and placebo, which they ingested at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

RESULTS:

Relative to placebo, treatment with the green tea extract resulted in a significant increase in 24-h EE (4%; P < 0.01) and a significant decrease in 24-h RQ (from 0.88 to 0.85; P < 0.001) without any change in urinary nitrogen. Twenty-four-hour urinary norepinephrine excretion was higher during treatment with the green tea extract than with the placebo (40%, P < 0.05). Treatment with caffeine in amounts equivalent to those found in the green tea extract had no effect on EE and RQ nor on urinary nitrogen or catecholamines.

CONCLUSIONS:

Green tea has thermogenic properties and promotes fat oxidation beyond that explained by its caffeine content per se. The green tea extract may play a role in the control of body composition via sympathetic activation of thermogenesis, fat oxidation, or both.

Get green tea caps or a fat burner with these but also try Yerba Mate tea as a liquid form or beverage.

I had read somewhere that yerbamate also has an enzyme that helps to extend the effect of the natural caffiene, cant find it now though sorry.

I do both. And it's not that much cheaper when you can get 100 caps of extract for $7.50 and each cap has equivalent amounts of polyphenols to that of several tea bags.

Still, cheap either way

Link to extract in the OP ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Keen to hear where you can get 100 bags for $3 though. That's about half price compared to the supermarket from what I recall?

[joey pineapples]

Try the Korean stuff out it comes in powdered form.

Noticed any difference etc?

[micalhassi]

Ya green tea has many hidden ingredients which help to burn fat in proper manner. If you take 2 cup in a day then it also boost metabolism, control high blood pressure, refresh brain from burden and many more positive sign on body and its organs.

Can you drink the tea cold? does it have the same benefits if you chill the green tea and then drink?

+ 1

Although Japanese Matcha is the only powdered form I know of sounds like Korean does it as well, it's many times more potent becos u r consuming the actual leaves not just the water like with Chinese green tea.

Look up Matcha Tea, incredible statistics

how much does that stuff go for Dr?

[Android]

On the street is sells for about $10-$15 for a small bag or container...hang out at specialty tea shops they generally pedal the best gear....stay safe

[joey pineapples]

It sometimes pops up on trademe, otherwise it should be quite cheap, between 10 and 20 dollars. Be careful with some cheaper powdered teas as they are not stone ground. When I lived in Korea I used to buy the organic Jeju stone ground stuff for about $8 nzd, Same quality, but way cheaper than the Japanese stuff, less demand and establish brand ect. Worked really well for a cut.
