According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, "green tea consumption produced a significant 4% increase in 24-hour energy expenditure. If you consume 2,000 calories per day and don't gain or lose weight (you're in energy balance), an increase of 4% would translate roughly into an 80-calorie daily difference. Over a year, this could result in 89 pounds of weight loss." Going green (tea that is) could be the ultimate jumpstart to your diet plan!Interestingly the tea you purchase from a grocery store shelf may not contain the key ingredients of green tea you are looking for. Most mass production tea is made with lower quality tea - tea dust if you may. Just for kicks, after I brewed my Steeped in Style tea this afternoon, I tore open the teabag (left side of picture). Then I tore open a teabag I had received from a leading tea company (right side). This is the picture I took. What you see is what you get. If you are going to fuel your body, do it with the best possible tea products. The bottom line is your body will thank you in the long run.
