We have been discussing the benefits of green tea and green tea for weight loss so now we will discuss about weight loss itself and tips to effective dieting and losing weight. Obesity is now on the rise and practically everyone who is anyone is on a diet or in need of losing a few pounds. Losing weight is not all about beauty and for aesthetic reasons only. Having extra weight or being overweight or even obese do lead to a lot of serious health problems.
Obesity has been linked to heart disease, cancer, hypertension, diabetes, joint pain and many other scary health complications we could do without. But it is not always easy to lose weight. Despite the millions of diet programs out there and possibly even billions of diet products, many people are still obese or overweight. This is not because they don’t want to lose the weight but it is because it is very difficult for them to stick to any one diet and as we all know, most diet products such as slimming pills and creams do not work.
So, here are some basic weight loss tips to help you along your path towards a healthier you to prevent the onset of weight-related diseases:
1. Do not go on a diet
Yes, I am not kidding. Going on a diet only makes you think that you will be starving yourself and thus set yourself up for a build-up of cravings. Besides, diets are short term and may not serve its purpose. So, why not do a lifestyle change instead of going on a diet? If you change your lifestyle and the way you eat for life, it goes a long way and not only help you lose weight but help you maintain a healthy lifestyle for life. All you need to do is to gradually throw out unhealthy foods such as oily food, fried food, fatty food, high-sugar content food and replace it with healthier options like wholegrain foods, lean meat, less sugar content food, low fat food and loads of greens and fruits. Don’t do it overnight but do it over an extended period of time so that you could slowly adjust to the change in your food intake.
2. Do move around more, fidget more and exercise whenever possible
When it comes to exercise, many people are pretty reluctant to go to the gym or even to the park for a jog. Many will come up with the excuse of being too busy, a lack of time or the best one, bad weather. Well, chuck those excuses aside. This is your body we are talking about. If you can’t spare 15 minutes a day for some active exercise, then you obviously do not love yourself enough! Yes, a mere 15 minutes of exercise a day is really good enough to get you started. Too busy? Use your lunch time to go for a run. Bad weather? You don’t need a park. You can even run up the staircase of a high rise building (and down again) as a form of exercise.
3. Drink loads of water and of course, green tea too!
I know you must be waiting for this so yes, you will have to add green tea to your diet for a more effective weight loss regime. First, you will also need at least 8 glasses of plain water. Just think of water as a fuel to your muscles. Then slot in green tea and think of it as the turbo power for your metabolic rate. With these two incorporated into your diet, it will help you all the way towards your weight loss goal!

Green Tea and dieting
So, could green tea help in weight loss and make your dieting plan a success? Well, if we look at it scientifically, it is not a far-fetched idea at all that green tea aids weight loss. According to research by scientists, green tea contains caffeine and polyphenols that could increase thermogenesis. Thermogenesis is the rate that calories are burned, in other words, your metabolic rate.
Now, we all know that an increased metabolic rate could only mean one thing and one thing only and that is, it burns more calories. When more calories get burned, then this means your pounds will slide right off easily. Sounds great right?
Well, green tea is not your miracle diet drink but it sure does help. As long as you maintain a healthy diet and team it with exercise and then drink green tea daily, you will find that it is so much easier to lose those extra pounds than without drinking green tea. Furthermore, studies have shown that by drinking green tea, you will also experience a significant increase in your energy expenditure. It is believed that people who drinks green tea regularly will have an increased rate of fat oxidation so this means, it affect your body’s metabolic rate in such a way that it makes it easier for you to lose weight. The best part about this is that despite green tea increasing your metabolic rate and fat oxidation, it does not increase your heart rate so it is much more healthier than any other stimulant-based diet drinks.
So, when you embark on a diet to lose those extra pounds and bulges, you should really get yourself some quality green tea and replace all of your sugary, high calorie drinks with it. Green tea is really very beneficial for your diet. Studies have shown that the components in green tea, such as the caffeine and antioxidants in it, will stimulate your metabolic rate and the oxidation of fat. Thus many research have concluded that green tea is the one drink that supports dieting and weight loss.
That’s not all, green tea is known to suppress appetite. Meaning, it will help you cut down your unnecessary food cravings so you will eat less than usual. When you eat less and have a boost to your metabolic rate, surely you will lose the weight faster than without green tea.
Of course, merely drinking green tea is not good enough. You should also look for concentrated green tea extracts and use it to achieve your desired weight. Green tea extracts are much better than mere green tea as it contains concentrated amounts of antioxidants with less caffeine. So, you don’t even have to worry about it keeping you up all night or any other nasty side effects due to caffeine.
Green tea and dieting is really closely linked. Green tea should be something you have in your cupboards, on the ready to give your body a boost in terms of metabolism and antioxidants. Besides, green tea is also healthy for other reasons due to its many antioxidants. It helps you look younger too.
