Green coffee has higher levels of antioxidants (chlorogenic acid) which is" thought" to have a weight reducing effect on metabolism. It is yet to be concurred by a reliable study. That being said, green coffee and its antioxidant components are beneficial for the body but attempting to lose weight only using green coffee is not advisable.
If your objective is to lose weight and tone your body, you need -
1. Expert guide
2. Adjustment of your meals
3. Suitable dietary additionsmore

Do not expect miracles with green tea. Not harmful and may help.
More important- no or low carbohydrate in food, no carbohydrates after 7 pm, nutritional supplements, exercises, repeated check-up of reports.
Best is to remain under supervision of someone who manages such case.

You can drink green tea and you can eat the left over leaves. It may have some benefits. However it does not lead to any weight loss as is usually advertised. Green tea has anti-oxidants which is good for health. Similarly all fruits and vegetables too have lots of anti-oxidants. Take it as a health drink only.

It absolutely depends on your choice. If you are comfortable with the taste you can have it the way you want. People normally prefer it hot. but that does not change its properties.

lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query.
Green tea is fine, there is no problem at all. But it is very essential to maintain TSH levels around 3 to 4 mU/L to be free from symptoms of hypothyroidism. Thanks.

Dear lybrate-user! green tea is a normal diet supplement. It has no nutritional benefits. Its believed to have some antioxidants. It is not an approved treatment or cure for blood pressure, diabetes and gall stones. Hence you may choose to drink green tea how many times in a day as you may feel like. But pls do not use it as a substitute for anti blood pressure and blood glucose medications. It will cause problems then. Best wishes.

Hello Sir. The timing for your green tea depends on the purpose for which you are taking it. If you want to use green tea to lose weight, you can take it along with your meals. To obtain the full benefits of the antioxidants in green tea, you should take green tea in between meals. Let me know if you need more information.
