Green Tea for Weight Loss

Green Tea weight loss is getting some press as both a great product for weight loss and even for diabetes prevention. To help you get really excited about green tea, this post offers some explanation about how green tea works with your body.

Green tea is one of the most researched weight loss aids on the market with plenty of solid research to back up the claims. As you learn about this natural product you discover that not only does the warm tea sooth your soul, it does your body some good as well. Namely, it increases your metabolism, decreases insulin response, and subsequently gives you more energy.

Green Tea Reduces your Insulin Response so you Burn More Fat

It’s all about GLUCOSE REGULATION.

Research shows that green tea slows your blood sugar increase after you eat. This reduced insulin response makes a huge difference on your weight loss and health because elevated insulin means no more fat burning. You see, when insulin is high, it works with growth hormone to store fuel not burn fuel. It’s not until your insulin level returns to normal that your growth hormone goes back to fat burning mode. When HGH is in fat burning mode, when insulin is not present, it helps release stored fat to be used as energy. Your body responds to the low insulin/higher HGH condition by releasing free fatty acids into your bloodstream and then the fat burning begins. Smaller insulin response, shorter storage window, larger amount of time in fat burning mode = lean results.

Can Green Tea Even Prevent Diabetes?

Doctors from the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta studied the effects of EGCG (the antioxidant in green tea) on lab mice with type 1 diabetes. To their surprise, they found that EGCG can actually prevent and delay insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes significantly. This is breakthrough because many people believe type 1 diabetes in humans is not preventable.

Taking Green Tea Weight Loss to the NEXT LEVEL
I’m a big believer in giving healthy living a turbo charge with science. So if you really want to get results, stack EGCG with caffeine. Dulloo et al.,1999 discovered that if you stack 50mg of caffeine onto 90 milligrams of green tea EGCG you boost your resting metabolism by 4%. Sounds small but a 4% increase in calories burned can make a big difference as you battle to stay in a calorie deficit. Even better, their research indicates that the fuel used as energy switched from carbs to stored fat.
