Green tea can help you lose weight effectively.
This type of tea has substances called catechins in them, which helps fight cancer and heart diseases.
These catechins have recently been shown to reduce body fat accumulation and cholesterol levels.
There was this study once when two groups of men ate identical meals for 3 months.
The first group who did not take green tea throughout the program lost 2.
9lbs on average while the other group who consumed it lost 5.
3lbs in weight, and waist size.
The cholesterol levels in these men also decreased.

It's completely safe to consume.
As green tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant (Black tea and oolong tea comes from this plant as well) there are no side effects.
The only problem this might cause to our health will occur if it is taken over the daily recommended levels.
Health experts recommend at least 3 cups per day to effectively lose weight.
Taking over 6 cups a day can cause palpitations (when you can hear your heart beating or irregular heart beating) due to caffeine overdose.

It's very affordable, and cost effective.
A box (with over 20 tea bags) can cost less than 10 dollars.
Compared to the positive benefits it can bring, this is very affordable.
There are many weight loss supplements that contain the extract as an ingredient.
These supplements cost less than $30, and are more effective than the tea on its own, because they contain other herbal ingredients which work very well with green tea.
