It speeds up your metabolism and promotes thermogenesis so you burn more calories faster.
I get hot flushes when I drink it regularly so it definitely does something to that effect.
A good summary detailing why green tea is believed to be a weight loss food is linked below -

My daughter-in-law keeps her tea in the refrigerator, where lots of things are "green"! And I'm not talkin' about vegetables or the environment!

i heard something about it stimulating the metabolism but i dont know how much truth is there. all i know is it stains your teeth worse than anything.

I don't know, but I have heard that it's really good for you and it's really good. I've heard this from a few people myself and I'm going to try it one day.

I thought green tea was only good for healthy plants.

Green tea is known to have thermogenic properties. This means it helps you burn calories more quickly! Yes, you can burn fat faster with Green Tea but you need to drink at least 6 to 8 cups of Green Tea for it to have this kind of effect. Try a concentrate like Green Tea Plus. http://www.newvitality.com/shop/green-tea-plus.aspx

I'm losing weight with a combination of plenty of ice green tea and exercise. Besides weight loss, green tea has plenty of health benefits.

I'm not sure about green tea's effectiveness,...
I can't personally use it because the caffeine overload makes me feel like I'm having a nervous breakdown.
-
If you're concerned with weight loss,...I'll tell you what's working for me.
;_;
It's best to make small changes in your habits,...things that you can maintain.
-
1- Unpasteurized Apple Cider Vinegar (with the Mother)
(I take about two TBSP, mixed with a glass of water,...or apple juice.)
It's "supposed" to help with your metabolism,...
what I KNOW is that I feel better and have more energy when I use it.
2 - Fiber, fiber, fiber!
At each meal or maybe 15 minutes before I plan on eating I'll have a high fiber snack,...like an apple, banana or tangerine.
At mealtime, I can have whatever I want,...but because I'm no longer "ravenous",...I tend to make better choices.
I started being "fiber" conscious when I read an article explaining it's health benefits,...and I'm talking heart and arterial health.
A pleasant side effect has been weight loss.
-
3 - Choose water too drink with your meals.
If you're "eating out" this choice will also save you $!
-
4 - Don't rush it.
Our bodies are designed to burn FEWER calories when we're not getting enough to eat,...you go into "famine" mode. So, have a big calorie day at least once a week.
-
My weight loss goal is only 1 lb per week,...
I've been averaging 2,...but I'm only shooting for 1.
-
That's doable with only minor changes,...
and at that rate a year from now you're 50lbs lighter,...
,...and in 4 years you've disappeared!

Sure. However, I feel yerba mate does a better job.
