The Whole Truth About Green Tea Weight Loss Pills

The countless health benefits of green tea has been well documented for many years, and the pills have now appeared on the market claiming to not only give you more energy and help you lose weight but also to lower your bad cholesterol levels and help you fight heart and cardiovascular diseases, and even cancer.

In fact, did you know that most weight loss and diet pills contain an extract of green tea as a primary ingredient? The chances are that if you pick one up off a shelf you’ll find, along with caffeine and other thermogenic ingredients, the extract as one of the ingredients. However, are the pills all they’re made out to be, or just more hype?

One of the ingredients in green tea weight loss pills is a compound known as Epigallocatechin gallate, also referred to as EGCG. This has been shown to have anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-viral properties and is over 200 times more potent than vitamin E in fighting free radicals and pro-oxidants.

Studies have also shown that the EGCG in weight loss pills can affect body fat accumulation and cholesterol levels positively. The results indicate that green tea weight loss pills can speed up your metabolism and helps burn calories as well as lowering your bad cholesterol levels, and has an effect on your level of body fat. An earlier study supported this by concluding that the tea has thermogenic properties and promotes fat oxidation beyond that explained by its caffeine content per se.

A key benefit of green tea pills for weight loss is that they help thermogenesis, which is the burning of calories, without causing jitters and other unwanted side effects. Supplements that contain Ephedra, on the other hand, are also as effective, if not more effective at speeding up the metabolism, but can have very dangerous side effects. Ephedra has been linked to strokes, heart attacks and even death in some users.

While green tea weight loss pills do contain caffeine, it doesn’t have the same effect. Theanine, which is the main amino acid in the pills, seems to minimize the effects of caffeine, which is why the caffeine in green tea doesn’t seem to cause jitters and an increased heart rate the way that caffeine in other beverages can.

Although some claim that the effect of green tea weight loss pills on reducing body fat is minimal, a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that taking the pills doubled the fat loss in subjects and concluded that they are is an effective method for shedding fat, particularly in the mid-section. Recent studies have also shown strong evidence for the role of green tea weight loss pills in lowering body fat.

The pills come in standardized tablets or capsules. For best results, choose a pill that contains 300 to 500 milligrams of green tea extract, which will also include caffeine. It is usually taken two or three times a day before meals.

While the green tea weight loss pill is not a magic bullet it is something I recommend strongly for its many health benefits. However, if you want to lose some serious pounds, relying on a single supplement such as green tea weight loss pills will never be enough. Rather, your focus should be on polishing up your diet and exercising regularly in order to boost your metabolism and burn the fat.

    Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week and you can easily do this without the help of any diet pills. These pills may get more than 2 pounds off per week but it is unhealthy and probably not long lasting. As soon as you stop the pill the weight will come back and you will gain more weight than you lost putting you in a worse position. Instead of trying to lose weight quickly try to do it over a period of time. It is healthier and more likely to stay off for good.

    "Sounds like it works wonders"

    You said it yourself. If something sounds too good to be true, it most probably is.

    File, green tea patches away with those amazing penis enlarging tablets.

    The number one way to lose excess body fat is to exercise and become more active. It amazes me the extent and cost some people will go to, to avoid that.

    I began to consume it regularly 2 years ago however I still remember the first feeling that I experience when consuming it.

    As I was told not to mix it with too many sugar or else the effects would be diminished, I decided to drink it plain. The taste was very bitter for me at that time.

    Here's what I did with my green tea so that it become delicious

    * Prepare the green tea in a tall glass. Fill 1/2 of the glass with the tea.
    * Prepare a passion fruit. Open it in the middle and pick two tea spoons of passion fruit and pluck it into your green tea. Fill 1/4 of the glass with unsweetened apple juice.
    * Stir it throughly.
    * Then add ice cubes so that the glass is filled.

    Now whenever it comes to weight loss you should follow these simple steps that have helped me tremendously lose weight, pretty quickly if you ask me. And I've been trying to lose weight forever and finally found the correct system to help me out…

    The first thing you need to do is about 30 minutes of cardio everyday, try to get at least 3-4 days of that people…Exercising is one very important issue you don't want to be lazy in.

    The second thing you should realize is that you cannot eat everything in sight that probably got you looking the way you are right now or the reason you want to lose weight. The pounds come with the food you eat. How do you stop yourself from eating and get a little boost with ousting fat from the food you eat? Simple…

    The third and final step is the correct natural weight loss supplement. For me, I found Proactol to be the best. Now this isn't aimed towards lazy people that want to take a pill and sit on the couch all night and day. These are to tremendously help out with dieting and exercising. For me they were great because with my diet, they basically take out up to 28% of the fat you intake. Not to mention the killer appetite suppressant Proactol is. Every day you will fall under your calorie intake and find yourself one more day closer to your goal.

    These steps really worked for me, you should try them out for yourself even if you want to lose very little or that extra mile. Also at the time of my 3 month supply purchase of Proactol, I saved a lot of money on it at theweightlossplace .com

    Good luck and I hope this helps you out for your weight loss goals.

    Whenever you are trying to lose weight, you should concentrate on these three things which all work together in providing a healthier and quicker weight loss goal for yourself. I have found this combination really successful in my weight loss plans. The first thing is exercising and how much you can put forth into it. The more you exercise, the more results you will see. The next thing is dieting and the calorie intake. If you exercise more, technically you could eat more? Always watch what you eat.

    Now the last step in a good weight loss plan is always a good diet pill that can help you get to the end of the road. I have found Proactol which is a natural herbal diet pill to be the best around. It's an appetite suppressant along with being a fat blocker which stops up to 28% of fat you eat. Read up about it at TheWeightLossPlace .com where I saved money on it. Proactol really works well with exercising which gives you plenty of energy to perform. Along with that your diet will be affected by Proactol due to the appetite suppressant and fat blocker. If you slip up on meals, the fat blocker kicks in. It's really great to stop food cravings.

    Concentrate on those three things and the combination is deadly for the fat cells in your body. Good luck and I hope this helps.

    One pound of fat (2.2 kg) is equivalent to approximately 3500 calories. Research by Japanese and other researchers suggest that if the average person were to drink five cups of green tea a day, they would burn an extra 70 to 80 extra calories through an effect known as thermogenesis – the process of heat production in organisms. 70-80 calories per day does not quite come close to the 500 calorie deficit needed per day to lose a pound a week.
