Decaffenated Green Tea and Weight Loss

by Anonymous

Is decaffenated green tea as effective as regular green tea when trying to lose weight?

Answer:

The answer is not hopeful. Green tea contains two ingredients that have been found to be highly effective in promoting slow/long term weight loss: caffeine and EGCG.

In decaffeinated green tea, the first ingredient is missing. The second ingredient may also be low in quantity because of the processing involved.

Drinking regular tea is the best way to lose weight. And again, the key here is to drink unflavoured tea that tastes rich, so that you know you are getting your full share of theanine, caffeine and antioxidants.
