Like any other tea,Green tea can be drunk usuallly without the need for milk or sweeteners, or if you do not like the taste you can purchase green tea extract.
Recent studies have shown that Green tea will aid in the reduction of weight by stimulating the body’s thermogenesis process, which increases the expenditure of energy and the oxidization of fat in the body. Many compounds discovered in plants have this effect. The difference in green tea is that it does not speed up the heart rate, and is therefore believed to be safer than diet pills such as ephidrine that also work by stimulating thermogenesis.

There are only two ways to lose weight: one way is by eating less (consuming fewer calories) and the other is by increasing expenditure of energy (using up more calories). Green tea works by increasing output and this can be as much as 4%. Most scientists believe that this is caused by the high quantity of catechin that is found in the tea and its extract.
Green tea has the added benefit of containing powerful antioxidants that could be beneficial to your health in many ways, protecting against disease and strengthening the immune system.
Keep in mind that green tea does contain caffeine so you should cut out coffee and other forms of tea while you are taking it. Decaffeinated Green tea is not recommended because removing the caffeine with certain chemical processes may destroy the beneficial properties of the plant.
