cardio, green/white tea, high protein, lots of vegetables, lots of water, heavy training.

Also eat smaller meals more frequently.

green tea extract pill as well as a good multi vitamin.

Hmm, will caffeine (i.e. black coffee) have a similar effect on (speeding up) metabolism, albeit perhaps to a lesser extent than green&white tea? If less, how much less?

What's the reasoning behind the water and vegetables?

CAFFEINE HELPS A LITTLE BUT NOT TOO MUCH. IT'S NOT SO MUCH THE CAFFEINE IN THE TEA BUT THE POLYPHENOLS WHICH PRODUCE THE METABOLISM BOOST (CAFFEINE DOES PLAY A PART BUT A SMALL ONE)

What's the reasoning behind the water and vegetables?

WATER KEEPS YOU HYDRATED WHICH MEANS A MORE EFFICIENT DIGESTIVE SYSTEM CAPABLE OF METABOLISING MORE FOOD IN A SHORTER TIME HENCE A GREATER METABOLIC BOOST

ICED WATER NEEDS CALORIES TO BE BROUGHT TO BODY TEMPERATURE ALSO

VEGETABLES ARE HARD TO DIGEST MUCH LIKE PROTEIN, THEY BURN OFF NEARLY THEIR (ALBEIT LOW) CALORIC VALUE JUST BY DIGESTING THEM. THEY ALSO CONTAIN FIBRE WHICH HELPS OUT DIGESTION AND THUS METABOLISM AS ABOVE

caffeine does help... but black coffee is not a replacement for green tea. Green tea has a lot of good effects; antioxidant,speeds up metabolism, helps in lowering cholesteral, lowers chance of cancer, helps prevent heart disease, helps lower liver failure, etc...

caffeinie works by increasing the heart rate, green tea does not do that.

i just get a huge bottle of green tea extract in pill form and take one daily.

I've never seen green tea pills so strong that you'd only need one a day for the full thermogenic benefit.

500mg in one pill

500mg in one pill

Yeah, so you'd need 4 pills a day to get the 2g in extract I recommend.

In another thread, Warboss Alex also recommended eating a horse.

 

[Skilla_Staz]

No, Create, you've got it wrong. He recommended eating a Zebra, and said that a horse would be sufficient if you were on a budget.

 

[MrS]

Poor horses.
Alex, that wee bast.

 

[Throttle]

geeeee-zus guys, when you hear hoofbeats, think HORSE not ZEBRA!

Actually you can do two things:

1) Eat more meals but smaller portions. Your body will continue to burn your intake continously. Eat a scheduled time everyday.

2) Take Chromioum Piccolinate. It's metabolizes fat, carbs, sugars in your body.
