<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Recognized Benefits
Studies have suggested that green tea may help boost metabolism and burn fat. Researchers claim that substances in green tea, known as catechins, have a fat-burning effect.
On the Other: Weight Loss Unproven
More studies need to be completed to determine if green tea is truly beneficial to weight loss. Some researchers note that someone could experience adverse affects, such as hormonal changes, from drinking large amounts of green tea.
Bottom Line
Consume 2 to 3 cups (240 to 320 milligrams polyphenols/catechins) of green tea per day or 100 to 750 milligrams of green tea extract per day for weight loss. Consult your physician before starting a weight-loss program and discuss proper dosages with him.
