Foods to Eat
-
The green tea diet should be 60 percent carbohydrates in the form of whole grains and vegetables, 15 to 25 percent proteins in the form of lean beef and pork, eggs and fish, and 30 percent fat, which should be from the protein. Instead large meals, eat smaller portions throughout the day. The chromium from the green tea pill aids in suppressing appetite. Eat a moderate breakfast, moderate lunch and moderate dinner with small snacks in between.
