I have an insane story about how I lost weight by drinking green tea. I originally weighed about 190 pounds before I began my tea diet. I lost 30 pounds in about 3 months when I started with the tea diet. It doesn't get easier than my experience. Just about anybody can do what I'm about to share with you.
Here's the catch. I did give up two of my favorite, full of sugar drinks. I gave up coffee and soda. Instead of drinking my daily dose of supercharge caffeine in the morning, I swapped it for green tea, which also contains caffeine, minus the sugar. During lunch I either drank either cool water or a nice cup of ice or warm tea depending on my mood of course. So what are the benefits of green tea?
Green tea contains amazing benefits like antioxidants called catechins. These catechins help increase your basal metabolic rate (BMR) which means you burn more calories just by drinking green tea. Other benefits of drinking tea is that it fights cancer, heart disease, and lowers bad cholesterol.
Exercise was another secret to losing the weight. Just simple exercise like speed walking or a light run for about 20 to 30 minutes is good enough. If you have bad knees, I would recommend riding a bike or a stationary bike too. After you improve your stamina level, I would add more physical exercises like jumping jacks, push-ups, and sit-ups.
The combination of drinking green tea and doing simple exercise help me achieve to lose fat and weight. 4 to 5 cups a day is necessary in order to bring your basal metabolic rate up. You can also buy caffeine-free tea to drink in the evenings or nights for those sensitive to caffeine. I hope this article will encourage you to start drinking tea, not just for losing weight, but for the many other benefits it provides.
