If you’re not a tea drinker, maybe you should be. But not just any tea. I’m talking about green tea.
Green tea is an effective supplement to help burn fat because it contains catechins. This chemical compound found in green tea can boost metabolism in a big way.
For example, in one study, people consumed 690 mg of catechins a day for 12 weeks. They lost body weight, reduced waist circumference, and dropped body fat. Sounds pretty good, right? Can green tea really help you?
Yes. Catechins in green tea stimulate metabolism, and keep your body burning fat for energy, a process called thermogenesis, for longer periods of time. And that’s exactly what you want when you’re trying to lose weight to improve your health or drop those last few pounds of fat during a cutting phase.
