As much as you like. Its contains great anti-oxident properties. I drink at least 2 cups a day, cold or hot. And I love it. I heard that its great for weight loss but I am not sure how or why. It seems like it wouldn't hurt though. You can probably find out more benefits of green tea from your nearest herb store,or surf the net for more info.

I used to drink hot water with half a lemon and a pinch of cayenne pepper first thing in the morning for about a year. It was a habit I picked up from a "DETOX DIET" book. I did not do it to lose weight, though. It is supposed to cleanse your internal passages and make your bowels regular. I think it worked for that!

Drink green tea every morning because it will give a metabolism boost and only eat small meals through out the day limiting sugars and carbohydrates.  Big meals and fasting will only slow your metabolism and make you gain more weight in the long run

Green tea Has EGCG which has been shown to help people lose weight. green tea, compared to black, has a lot more anti-cancer antioxidents. black tea has more caffine. White tea is actually the best tea you can drink, its better for you than green tea, theirs less caffeine too

For example, just by drinking one cup of tea a day or by taking taking green tea extract in the form of supplement you will burn an extra 78calories. This adds up to over 28000 calories in a year. Which is about 8 extra pounds of weight.

Wulong tea is the same as Oolong tea and is what's served in many Chinese restaurants.  \n\nThere's no magical weight loss properties.  Even if there were, you'd have to drink gallons every day to get the effect.  Brewed tea is relatively weak.

In this mode of treatment, one teaspoonful of fresh honey should be mixed with a juice of half a lime in a glass of lukewarm water.

Substitute water for soda, baked chicken for fried chicken, sub sandwiches for pizza, etc.\n\nTip 6: Don't Starve Yourself\n\nStarving only promotes a bigger "rebound" effect because your body likes to hold on from what it is deprived of. Instead, fuel the body every 2 to 3 hours with small meals.\n\nTip 7: Drink 1 or More Glasses of Water Before Meals\n\nThis is to help fill the stomach and give you a full feeling. I

Hiya!  Ok over the last 6 months I lost 45lbs.  I researced the web over looking for the easy answers. But it comes back to age old news.. Nutrition and exercise.  I chose a low fat diet, much like a diabetic's diet.  Lots of fruits and vegetables, and my special touch was diet green tea made by arizona tea which has ginsing which helps promote the metabolism.  I exercised 3x a week 30 min at curves just cardio.  Believe it or not you do not have to starve, just eat healty and eat in portions, and exercise.  Eating portions I think was very important. When I started portioning my food I really realized at that point how much I had been over eating. An example.. I love spaghetti, but an acutal portion is 1 cup.  Put one cup on your plate lol and look at the difference from your normal portion.  And I thought oh god I'm still going to be hungry. Not... I added a salad, with low cal dressing and 1 slice of bread no butter only garlic.  You can balance your meal. And not be hungry.  But I also believe that more mature women need exercise and putting in that 30 min 3 x a week really works.\nI also took a daily vitamin.. Try the new oil of olay ones it is a multi package of vitamins.  And I found that these do not make me hungry.

Tea in general (or water!) "aids digestion", and if you like it, Pu-Erh will do so too, though no better or worse than any other beverage as far as I can tell.  There are some studies indicating it may help lower cholesterol, but there is no magic drink that can aid 'weight loss'.  The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume.  Eat less, exercise more.

It could help if you combined it w/ diet and exercise. The best to take is green tea extract meaning just a tiny few drops with a small amount of water. Green tea is a natural thermogenic and will make u sweat more when you work out. If you combined it with a healthy diet and exercise plan, you could lose up to 2 lbs a week.

I don't know of any specific health drink,but there's solid evidence out there that drinking 24 ounces of milk in each 24 hour period will help you lose weight. For the best results,drink low-fat or skim milk.Good luck!\n                                  Lynne,RN
