The minute we find out our pants don’t fit, what do we do? Starve ourselves! We start cutting back on meals or going on the latest fad diet because your best friend strongly recommends it. For many, there are results within weeks, and this just reinforces our theory that crash diets do work. Or do they just mask reality?
You should know by now that the significant weight loss in the first week of a crash diet is mainly water. As such, soon after this big weight loss, there will be an equally significant weight gain, hopefully by this time your reason for wanting to lose weight has passed.
A better way to plan your weight program is to consider a long term plan. For effective weight loss to be achieved, your expectations cannot be unreasonable. In other words, effective weight loss is an ongoing process which can take as much as 6 months or longer, depending on your personal history.
One very effective part of this weight loss program should include green tea. If you are skeptic about non-traditional methods, don’t be. Did you know that Japanese who have been drinking green tea for centuries have low incidents of heart disease? This is in spite of the fact that more than 75% of the population smoke regularly?
As far as obesity is concerned, you will not find many obese Japanese or Chinese among daily green tea drinkers. The reason for this is because green tea encourages oxidation of fats. In simpler terms, it burns fat and converts calories to energy instead of fat.
If you are not interested in getting into the rituals of soaking a green tea teabag in hot water, or brewing your own green tea, the you can opt for the safe and convenient green tea diet pills or tablets. Unlike other diet pills, the green tea tablet will not increase your heart rate because it is herbal. There is virtually no side effects, either immediate or long term. In other words, you don’t anything, but have everything to gain by trying out green tea.
In addition, if cost is a concern, you will be happy to know that green tea products are inexpensive – even the green tea tablet and supplements.
If you do some research, you will find out that many branded fat burning tablets contain some amount of herb in it. Most often, it would be green tea extract. Thus, why get a fat burning tablet that contain a miniscule amount of green tea extract, when you can get the real thing with a hot cup of green tea?
