Some studies have found green tea extract
catechin , which is rich in polyphenols and catechins, to be useful
for obesity management since it induces thermogenesis and stimulates fat
oxidation. A type of catechin prevalent in green tea, epigallocatechin gallate
(EGCG), is said to increase resting metabolism and stimulate fat-burning. Dutch
researchers helped 76 people lose weight and, over the next three months, gave
the patients either a 270-milligram capsule of green tea or a placebo every day.
The group who took the green tea continued to lose weight but the group taking
the placebo soon regained their lost weight. Another study agreed that EGCG has
the potential to increase fat oxidation in men and may contribute to the
anti-obesity effects of green tea.
green tea
extract GTP also worth noting: “If you normally drink coffee loaded
with cream and sugar or a 500-calorie mocha every morning, then swapping either
out for calorie-free green tea will certainly contribute toward weight loss
because you are cutting your daily caloric intake,” Currie points out. “If you
regularly eat excess calories and are not active, popping a green tea pill is
not going to do much (or anything!) to counteract that.”
There are many
countries where green tea consumption is high, and obesity and cancer rates are
low (compared to the U.S.) but those benefits can’t be solely attributed to
green tea.
