Why I chose green tea for weight loss

by Sammy

My green tea weight loss experience began two years ago. I carefully researched various weight loss regimens and diets. I despise dieting but reaching middle age convinced me that I had to do something now if I really wanted to live the long full active life that I hope for. I really disliked the thought of just mindlessly counting calories without also adding an additional element of health.

That is when I came across information about green tea and the many health benefits it can provide. In addition to its weight loss properties, there are now many studies showing that green tea can also stimulate the immune system. In particular, green tea can help protect against infection and even more, stimulate immune cell to protect us against cancer.

Knowing this powerful information about green tea convinced me to give it a try. Also knowing this effect of green tea on the immune system helped me truly commit and stick to this.

I chose to drink green tea rather than pill supplements since drinking green tea is the best route for you body to absorb its health improving components.

I also included a moderate exercise routine that included 30 minute workouts three times a week. I increased my workouts slowly over time so as not to overwhelm myself at the beginning.

In the past, when I started whole hog on a weight loss program I would burn out too quickly preventing me from reaching my goal. I lost 35 pounds over the course of a year and have kept the weight off for over a year. Green tea is a great addition to your weight loss efforts.
