Green tea, natural fat burner

Of Chinese origin, green tea has been known since antiquity and is part of the "fat burner". This general public designation, which most often characterizes plants containing caffeine, refers to an increase in lipolysis (degrading certain fats) and thermogens (inseruns heat production of the body)1.

How does it work?

Green tea leaves contain both caffeine, between 3% and 4%, and catechins, two substances that increase levels of norepinephrine in the body. However, this compound increases energy expenditure and fat oxidation. Studies in rats have demonstrated the anti-obesity effect of green tea2. Those performed on humans are less categorical but still seem to be beneficial on weight loss. A meta-analysis, conducted on 11 studies, showed that green tea catechins had an interest in weight loss and in maintaining it3, especially during moderate physical activity.

How to eat green tea?

Green tea is mainly used as an infusion. However, it can be found in the form of lozenges or capsules. One cup of green tea contains an average of 50 mg of caffeine4. It is recommended not to exceed 3 to 4 cups of green tea, which allows you not to go beyond the recommended daily average doses of 300 mg of caffeine. Due to a suspicion of hepatotoxic effect, especially if green tea is consumed on an empty day, the FDA(Food and Drug Administration)recommends eating it while eating it.
