Can green tea supplements help you lose weight or do you have to drink the tea itself for the best results?
From my own experience, it’s just a myth. In case you’re wondering, it’s not a conspiracy of doctors to say only by watching what you eat and regular exercise can you expect to lose weight and maintain weight loss, it is a point of fact. Any supplement or other pill, drink or other intake will not accomplish sustainable weight loss and may even be bad for your health.I drank green tea for several years and my weight actually went up over that time, because I did not accompany my diet with any meaningful exercise program. While I can say I’m in relatively good health, I do have a fat middle, which will require a lot of effort over time to reduce.There is no miracle cure to being overweight and anyone who says otherwise is either a liar, or an alien from another planet that is so much more advanced than us, you’d probably explode if you took anything from the alien because our system couldn’t handle it. Do you want to explode?

Drinking green tea makes me really hungry!?
green tea is rich in antioxidants which everyone knows. Thus it speeds up your metabolism causing you to become hungry, it does the same for me. You're are already exercising but for how long? Any cardio is better than none, but to my understanding it should be an hour minimum. I might be wrong but from what I hear, your body will burn the carbs and sugars first for energy, then when that supply is gone it dips into the fat reserves, which explains why marathon runners and the like are so toned. Sounds to me you have a good weight, you're still young. And I'm still trying to comprehend how a bra size going up is a bad thing!
Is it true that green tea eliminates fat from the body?
Start Early : Replace your morning coffee with some green tea. Green tea has caffeine, so it can give you a boost when starting off your mornings, but it can also kick-start your metabolism into action so that you burn more calories all day long. Try to not add too much filler to the tea, however – things like sugar, honey and milk add calories that can counteract with the green tea’s weight-loss properties.Drink Often : Do not be afraid to drink several cups. There’s less caffeine than in a cup of Joe, you don’t have to worry so much about feeling jittery and nervous if you double up on your servings. This will also help you feel (and stay) full. You can use green tea as a supplement to meals, as well. Drink a cup before or right after eating, so that you don’t eat too much. Do be aware that since green tea contains a diuretic, you may also be visiting the restroom more frequently – but that’s not necessarily a bad thing! Water weight counts on the scale, too.Stay Regular : When you drink green tea regularly (think every day for several months as opposed to having off and on weeks) you experience extra weight loss benefits. The more you stick to it, the more it trains your body to absorb less fat in the long run. This is a good reason to keep drinking, even if you haven’t noticed a lot of benefits in the first couple of days. Some things simply take time, but are worth waiting for.
