One of the things that I must have every morning apart from my cuppa decaffeinated coffee is my cuppa Japanese green tea. No matter where I am and what I am doing, downing a cuppa green tea a day is a must. Today, I read that green tea extract is one of the powerful thermogenic fat burners. It’s combination of caffeine and catechin polyphenols make it a potent fat fighter. Several recent studies have shown that green tea was found to significantly decrease abdominal body fat area, subcutaneous abdominal body fat and fasting triglycerides. That means that not only is green tea extract a great fat burner, it also has a positive effect on fat in the blood! This said, in order to successfully achieve weight loss, one has to reduce calorie-intake and must exercise.
