Have you ever used green tea or pepermint tea to help you lose weight?

[JamielovesKU]

I was reading how green and pepermint tea can help a person lose weight. Have you ever tried it as part of your diet?

Yes and it works!

It didn't work for me

It doesn't work don't waste your time...

[Anonymous]

Well, I suppose the answer is yes, in that I've consiously had a few cups a day of green tea while dieting before.

It probably makes a genuine 2-4% difference.

Diet does 70%

Exercise another 20-25%

Particular supplements a tiny tiny amount, unless you take stronger stuff than green tea.

[BertMacklinFBI]

nah i just drink green tea sometimes for the anti-oxidants.

[RJGraveyTrain]

It isn't going to do what you think: both contain antioxidants which can AID in weight loss with the addition of healthy eating and exercise. But drinking it every day isn't going to make lbs drop if that's what you think.

[shadowlegend]

You can't expect to lose weight by just adding green tea to your diet. It's good for your health, but to lose weight, you need to do regular exercise and keep your diet healthy.

[mooky06]

There is no tea that can help you lose weight. Green tea and peppermint tea may help ASSIST with shedding the weight off, but a balanced diet and a workout that is right for you would be more beneficial

[peachblossomluck]

I think that it acts as a sort of cleanse? Due to strong antioxidant content after steeped? I have never done it consistently to test progress. Drinking lots of water is like a cleanse though as well
64oz per 24hrs.

I've never tried it because i hate tea but I've heard of the benefits. id say give it a go, but if it doesn't bring much results, then keeping to the natural way of good food and exercise works just fine.

[Jxpxtxr]

I have green tea quite a lot, never really tried to lose weight with it, though, but I sometimes drink black tea when I wanna suppress my appetite. That usually works really well for me, too.

[martyfellow]

Green tea will cut your appetitie a little, but it won't make you lose weight just by itself. You need an overall healthy diet and exercise, regardless.

[martyfellow]

thanks for the Upvote

[timmy111]

I love green tea, not sure about weight loss how much it helps, but I feel so much better drinking green tea opposed to anything else I drink

[moistycakes]

It won't make you drop kilos but it is good for you. A healthy diet and lifestyle is the only thing that will do it.

[allgoodandfun]

I drink them for enjoyment but nah, they don't work for weight loss. At least not enough for me to notice it.

[RachelBrigs]

Tea will not cause weight loss. Burning more calories than you consume causes weight loss.

Some things may decrease your appetite so you are tempted to eat less, but probably not to a significant degree if at all.

Good luck though

[Curmudgeon]

But I think that's the idea---filling one's belly with very low calorie green tea rather than caloric liquids or foods.

[RachelBrigs]

@Curmudgeon then any low calorie liquid would work not a specific kind. I think some people believe peppermint tea specifically causes weight loss.
Regardless, even if you fill up on tea, you're still gonna crave real food. Why basically starve yourself anyway? Why deprive yourself of food? Its good to be hydrated but there are many many many MANY healthy low calorie foods out there! Food isn't demonic. Eat a salad, even if you put a bit of dressing or cheese on it, its still healthy. It isn't half a greasy pizza or anything. Have some veggie soup, or lean chicken with veggies, have a banana and yogurt. Treat yourself to a muffin or a cookie sometimes too.
Really people need to stop avoiding food to lose weight. Just eat the right stuff in the right amount.

[FallenRangerz]

I've currently been using green tea and I noticed that it does help. Gotta combine it with exercise though for it to really work.

[teawrecks]

When I was in high school I did a Bad Thing and stopped eating everything except for dinner and used green tea to substitute meals and that helped me lose weight. But not in a healthy way.

[Anonymous]

I drink about 2 cups of hot green tea every day and have been doing so for over a year and have not noticed any weight loss. I just drink it cause i like it...

[nakedalligator]

I've heard green tea helps you lose weight but you would have to drink it all day, you can buy green tea extract if you want to use it for it's weight loss properties.

[serious]

Not yet but I am thinking about giving green tea a try.

[Femdomina]

Yes, I've heard that green tea can help you lose weight.

[OrangeBoy]

I use green tea, but i give up because it can influence your capability to retain more calcium.

I give up drinking it regularly because good bones are important.

[WeComatose]

green tea hardly helps lose weight, but i wouldn't call it a "waste of time" it has many benefits, check out matcha

[MoreThanACookie]

Drink lots of water, get on a diet and start working out, that's how you lose weight...

[NadaAhmedxx]

It helps detoxify your body only. Which helps you lose the weight.

[Zanecyber]

there really is no secret thing to losing weight, working out and proper dieting ( doesn't mean starve urself) nothing special

[Pink2000]

It suppresses your appetite

[Pink2000]

My weight loss pic is my profile pic by the way

[apple24]

I never tired it and i doubt it works!

[ImaginativeDreamer]

I've heard it works, especially green tea

[jakeofalltrades]

[Anonymous]
