Thursday Tiffin #38: drink yourself slimmer
Web MD cites research reported in the American journal of clinical nutrition (2005) of 35 Japanese males with similar weights drinking tea with controlled (to be equivalent) diets. They suggest this research as demonstrates that drinking Oolong tea with extract of green tea, rather than just drinking Oolong tea, resulted in faster burning of calories and lower LDL cholesterol. The participants drank themselves slimmer!
The researchers theorise that in green tea the higher level “catechins may trigger weight loss by stimulating the body to burn calories and decreasing body fat”. It is unclear whether there was a significant difference in the participants diets before the study or if this research on males’ can be generalised to females.
Green tea cannot account for my relative lack of eating disorderliness or bulk because I’ve only ever had 2 cups of green tea. I better avoid it lest I waiste away…..
