Decaffeinated Green Tea for Weight Loss Questions

My sister-in-law has been drinking green tea with lemon and honey and she has slimmed down since I last saw her three weeks ago.

I went today and bought a decaffeinated green tea and I am going to drink a cup a day. I need to lose a few pounds.

Will decaffeinated green tea work for weight loss the same as naturally caffeinated tea?

I have been on Braggs natural Apple cider vinegar for a few weeks now. It has helped me with my energy and my PVC'S irregular heart beats have left. I read ACV can also break down fats in the body. So is it okay to take both the Green tea together with the ACV?

Answer:

Rondie, green tea weight loss works gradually over time. If your sister-in-law has lost weight since you last saw her 3 weeks ago, chances are she is also doing something else that helps with the slimming, such as a healthier diet and some physical activities, it probably won't be just the green tea alone.

Decaffeinated green tea is less effective for weight loss partly because it contains less EGCG and much less caffeine. A review of decaffeinated green tea and its problems can be found at

If you have heart problems and need to avoid caffeine, then you need a credible alternative. Again, the article above will help.

Green Tea Diet

I am not familiar with apple cider vinegar, but read somewhere that it is advisable to drink it after meal to make yourself feel fuller.

Best time to drink tea is in-between meals, so keep the two separate - one after meal, one in-between meals - that is the safest thing to do.

Otherwise, I am not aware of any side effects of drinking the two together, but better to be safe staring out. You can experiment later if you want.

Hope this helps.
