Green tea diet guide

I was on my maternity leave and after a long term of nine months, I was making preparations to resume my office. It was only when I dressed up and saw myself in the mirror I realized how much weight I had put on. Really I felt so embarrassing and I decided to apply for more leave and get back to my shape somehow and then resume the job.

From the moment I was on a mission to find out an effective method for weight loss. I happened to read about the positive effects of green tea on weight loss. I came to know that green tea contains certain substances which help our body to produce heat by speeding up metabolism, and thereby, burning calories, and breaking down fat.

The first thing I noted before selecting a green tea brand is that the manufacturer of the green tea extract follows strict GMP compliance, which is the manufacturing standard used throughout the world. Hence I chose Lipton Clear Green, tea which is available in India.

I doubted as to how to reduce my intake of food, because I was in a habit of eating every now and then. Every morning I had a green tea combined with ginger and olive leaf that helps to lower cholesterol and reduce weight.

I preferred using tea bags to commercial bottled teas. After I started drinking green tea it found out that it helps in suppressing appetite. My Doctor advised me to take certain herbals along with green tea, hence I started the intake of Maitaki., derived from a Japanese plant that helps in promoting weight loss.

I studied from my doctor that green tea contains caffeine and epigallocatechin gallate which blocks the conversion of energy into fat and helps your body to absorb less dietary fat.

Daily I had 8 to 10 cups of green tea. I just had a less amount of meals and vegetable curry for lunch and two slices of bread in the night.

I had been very strict in following my diet and did light exercises in the morning for an hour daily.

I was amazed to find that I could reduce 15 kilograms within two months.

Now I like to recommend green tea for any one who is willing to reduce weight.
