Drink Green Tea if you want to get ripped

[david_med@hotmail.com]

hey yall,
i finally decided to try some green tea after hearing so much about it... prevents cancer, has mad antioxidants, helps with fat loss etc. almost everything implicated about this tea was positive. so i gave it a go... i had one of my asian homegirls get me a stash of this stuff and i brewed a heavy mix last nite.

let me tell you, this shyt is potent. depending on how sensitive you are to stimulants, i would say that drinking about two cups of potent green tea is as strong as one or two ripped fuels... gets your heart beating with no real side effects.

definately try this stuff. its better then hitting all that over the counter thermogenic crap thay may give you cancer in the long run.

just do a search on "green tea health benefits" on yahoo and see for yourself.

i think im just gonna drink one cup after breakfast and one after lunch and then im straight. i hit one on an empty stomach and it got me wired as hell.

anyone else have experiences with green tea, just holla back,
peace
-dave

Do some Medline searches of scientific articles about green tea studies before you start throwing comments like this.

And david, I've also started to use it, although black tea is much more common here where I live. It's especially a good addition to use with other thermogenic agents, like ephedra/ephedrine and caffeine.

Damn you guys, you're making me want to try it out.

Any green tea will do?

I replaced my coffee drinking with green tea. I don't have more than two cups a day. It seems to flush my plumbing faster than coffee.

Yep. I usually drink just plain green tea, but flavored varieties will do also. Just check that green tea is the main ingredient.

The stimulant in the tea it´s caffeine, so try to don´t get hooked to it or it´ll lose it´s great effects (ask any coffe junkie).

jig,
good point. there are a lot of asian studies that have documented how green tea raises metabolism and controls fat gain, not just weight gain. well done studies.

there was one study that compared people who took a placebo, caffeine pill, and caffeine and green tea extract. they found caffein and green tea raised the metabolism the highest. and apparently mice on green tea and caffeine gained less fat when they were all put on the same high calorie diet.

anyhow, search for yourself. i was convinced. plus, asians drink tons of it a day, so it cant be that bad.. just dont over do it and drink tons of water cuz its a diuretic.

I'ma stick to 1/2 gallon of water and a liter of Diet Coke, and a 1/4 gallon skim milk a day - thanks.

Bodybuilding is one of those things. Changing one tiny thing makes virtually no difference. Weather you drink green tea or skim milk, if your runnin 5 mi a day your gona get a super low BF.

i read that caffeine is something you should avoid. yet, green tea has much caffeine in it!!

Good point, but changing many tiny things may result in something big

I dont respond to stimulants, atleast, not caffeine. I had 23 ounces of Arizona green tea with honey today, i fell asleep about 25 min after.

Whether this had any baring on my metabolism i dont know, but it sure didnt make me hyper.

Any insights?

 

[david_med@hotmail.com]

jester, if you dont respond to caffeine, then green tea may not be for you. but caffeine is not the only thing in it that stimulates your metabolism...otherwise plain coffee would be fine.

green teas are different. some are more potent than others. try checking out an asian market and see what they have to offer. ask if they have a potent kind available. i know on the net they sell really potent shyt from japan.

if you dont feeling like killing yourself trying to find a good green tea, try that bottled grean tea by TAZO. its fairly potent.

also,
i would rather drink green tea than coffee.

Drink This, Drop Pounds? Some Say So!

By Cathryn Conroy, Netscape News Editor
Sip a magic potion and lose weight? Yeah, sure. But maybe, just maybe that's a benefit of green tea, the ancient brew long preferred by the Chinese. According to controversial research from the Institute of Physiology at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland, green tea helps us lose weight because it helps burn up calories and fat


The study, which was published in the International Journal of Obesity, points to previous animal and human studies that show that green tea extract increases thermogenesis. This process, reports WebMD, is the generation of body heat that occurs as a result of normal digestion, absorption, and metabolization of food. Led by Abdul Dulloo, the Swiss study used rats and concluded that green tea containing caffeine increased thermogenesis by 28 percent to 77 percent depending on the amount ingested, as well as energy expenditure and fat loss. And that means what? Green tea may be an effective way to lose weight. Too good to be true? WebMD thought so and asked one of its own researchers to review the Swiss study. Sheri Zidenberg-Cherr, Ph.D., who is an associate professor of nutrition at the University of California, Davis, concedes that the Swiss research is interesting, but cautions that results may not apply to humans. "It doesn't rule out the significance of the findings, and it is a good model to use...but until better clinical trials are done in humans, it's hard to say what the physiological significance of this actually may be."
