"Magic Bullet" for weight loss



Do you have a dream to become slim?So today you are going to get a solution for it.Pack your gym kit aside and sit down with a cup of tea.Numerous scientific studies have shown that tea drinkers,specifically green tea drinkers,lose weight faster than those who don't.But you need to have it without milk.Scientists have shown that tea contains high levels of compounds that combat the absorption of fat.The tea plant compound EGCG found in green tea,plus caffeine,increases thermoenesis by 84 percent. Thermogenesis is the generation of body heat that occurs as a result of normal digestion,absorption,and metabolization of food.Green tea also increases your levels of norepinephrine,which prepares your body to burn fat for the "fight or flight" response.

Like any new habit, you have to infuse tea drinking into your daily routine in order for it to be effective:
Substitute morning coffee for tea. Start your day with a fresh cup of tea instead of usual Joe. Tea drinkers can also save calories, especially when ordering at a coffee house. Some coffee house drinks contain hundreds of calories whereas with tea, what you see is what you get.
Ask for iced tea (unsweetened) instead of soda for lunch and dinner. Sugary or even diet sodas have been known to actually have the opposite effect on weight loss. The sodium in diet soda can make you retain water, so opt for the smart alternative––sugar-free iced tea. Iced tea is also ideal because if you're looking for a little caffeinated pick-me-up during the afternoon, iced (or hot) tea will give you the same effect without the sugar in regular soda or the sodium in diet.
Have a warm cup of tea to satisfy an afternoon craving. Although the chips or cookies in the vending machine may be calling your name, make yourself a cup of tea instead. If you go for the tea, the EGCG properties found in green tea actually have a glucose-lowering effect, which influences cravings and may help control hunger. Moreover, the ritual involved in making tea (as opposed to shoving coins into a vending machine) gives you a welcome break from your chores or work and you can reflect on good thoughts, as well as making conscious choices to put good things into your body instead of empty calories from candy bars. Take a moment to chat to someone else who is in the tearoom with you, and it's a great way to unwind, stretch and socialize in the space of five minutes!
Before bed, have a cup of herbal (decaf) tea. Regardless of your weight loss goal, having a warm cup of herbal tea to end the day can help to relax your body and brain. Because a good night’s sleep contributes to shedding weight, set yourself up for a successful sleep with tea
