Hi, to build your body the right way, you need to take good protein foods in the diet which are low in fats, distribute your meals over the day into 5-6 times, and also do good weight bearing or strength trading exercises, or you could join a gym too.
Have pleasant meals: meal time should be a pleasant time rather than a hurried affair. You should thoroughly enjoy every meal. Listening to soothing music while dining can be very helpful. Furthermore, research conducted by professors brian wansink and koert van ittersum at cornell university suggest that by eating in larger cups and bowls, one may increase the consumption of food compared to when eating in smaller cups and bowls.
Hello Lybrate user, green tea is not just for weight loss but can be had for various health benefits. Green tea alone can't make you loose weight, but accelerates your weight loss results. Certainly you may have at least 2 to 3 cups of green tea safely. Green tea helps to protect against many cancers, heart disease and many digestive disorders. So go ahead and feel good after having green tea.
