Many a times clients tell me that they tried having a cup or two of green tea daily as it's touted to have fat loss benefits, but not seen any result.Now despite all the claims made by advertisements or testimonials given by people who claim to have dropped oodles of weight, where then did you go wrong?

Well, for one you just tried to pick out a single remedy which you felt was convinient but forgot that there are many other factors that need to be set right too.

I strongly believe that no food should be glorified or demonised based on a single nutrient found in it. No food will work in isolation in weight/fat loss. It's a balanced diet that is important to fat loss. Remedies like green tea don't help weight loss directly. They provide antioxidants and act as a detox which definitely will help better digestion and metabolism. And this will surely act as an adjunct in your efforts to lose weight.

But along with any remedy, you have to eat the right foods at the right time. Exercise at least 4 times a week. And lastly be committed. Remember it's a lifestyle change and not a one time thing. It's a balanced intake that will last you longer. So, have the green tea but accompany it with good diet, exercise and sleep to see beneficial results.
