Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Understand a little bit about how green tea works. It is said that drinking a couple of cups of green tea each day will aid in increasing energy as it boosts metabolism. Green tea provides high levels of polyphenols which are antioxidants with chemotherapeutic and anti-inflammatory effects. In other words, green tea speeds up your metabolism to burn more calories and slows down the ability of the body to store sugars and fat.
Step2
Brew a pot of green tea and drink it as a hot beverage in place of regular hot tea or coffee. Let the pot cool down and refrigerate any left-over green tea and drink as iced tea later in the day.
Step3
Drink some of the new carbonated green teas on the market. Coca Cola has a new one out called "Envigra," which claims to have an immediate weight loss of 30 calories for each can you drink. These come in various flavors such as berry and peach to make them even more appealing and refreshing. Read the labels of the various green teas bottled for consumption to make sure that they do not have a lot of sugar added, which would keep you from losing weight.
Step4
Add green tea supplements or green tea extract into your diet. It is always best to talk to your doctor before adding any type of supplements to your diet plan. The supplements and extract are supposed to be able to have the same metabolism boosting effect as drinking green tea.
Step5
Chew some green tea gum to get some of the benefits of green tea when you are not able to brew your own or purchase a beverage with green tea. Most of the green tea gums are sugar free and there is supposed to be a minimal weight loss effect by chewing this gum.
