How to Lose Weight on the Green Tea Diet

Green tea has been harvested and used in the Asian culture for centuries, and its healthy properties are finally being taken advantage of in the western culture. Aside from its countless health benefits, it also makes you lose weight in a natural way and keep it off for good.

The active ingredient in greeen tea is EGCG, which stands for epigallocatechin gallate. EGCG is a polyphenol which works by increasing thermogenesis (heat production) in your body. This heat production isn't the type that makes you feel hot and sweaty, but rather it increases the amount of calories that your body burns. This is how a diet high in this ingredient is able to successfully make you lose weight.

The good thing about green tea is that because it is a natural product, you can safely drink it everyday in order to lose weight and keep it off. Compare this to those diet pills that only make you lose weight temporarily, and then ultimately get you addicted.

Aside from weight loss, this diet plan is also good for your general health and wellness. It functions as an antioxidant, increases mental alertness, lowers cholesterol, lowers the risk of certain diseases, strengthens the immune system, and prevents tooth decay.

Another useful aspect of green tea is that it is very accessible and affordable. You can literally get it anywhere from the dollar store to Starbucks. It should be noted that because it is a tea product it has caffeine, but its caffeine content is nothing compared to coffee or Red Bull.

Acai Berry Scams

Throughout the internet and in other media forms, there are people constantly trying to take advantage of the known benefits of the acai, and using this information to scam innocent people. I've seen this happen when people offer to sell acai berry powders, supplements, or extracts, and that is not at all what they are selling.

I want to make sure that this doesn't happen to you, and knowledge is the best defense against scam artists. Hopefully, my writings will make you feel at ease with the fact that I am not trying to scam you and in fact, I only want to help.

Weight Loss Benefits of the Acai Berry Diet

The acai (pronounced: uh-SI-ee) berry has been receiving tons of publicity lately because not only is it the newest superfood, but it has the Oprah Winfrey and Rachael Ray stamp of approval.

Some of its health benefits are that it:
  • Is an antioxidant
  • Boosts energy levels
  • Makes skin look younger and healthier
  • Improves digestive function
  • Strengthens the immune system
  • Improves sleep patterns
  • Provides relief from minor aches and pains
  • Increases strength and stamina
  • Alleviates symptoms of depression and
  • INCREASES FAT LOSS
That's right, little acai berries (as seen below) have the ability to do many incredible things for your body, including helping you lose weight.



The acai berry diet works because of the natural composition of the pure berry. The acai is made up of essential fatty acids, amino acids, phytosterols, and fiber, which work together to make your body burn fat more efficiently.

When your body works in an efficient manner, it doesn't waste a lot of energy so you don't end up getting tired in the middle of the day. This is also why the diet can do so many other good things for you besides causing you to lose weight.

Perhaps the best part about this diet is that all you have to do is eat the berries, drink the juice, or take the supplements, and your energy levels will increase as your appetite decreases. No liposuction, bypass, or other types of surgery are required. The acai berry begins to work for you right away, so you can expect to see results in as little as a couple of days. In my opinion, the acai berry has clearly earned its title of "superfood."

Weight Loss Pills

Tired of the same old weight loss pill that never works and want to find the reason why it never kept the promise of rapid weight loss? How long have you been swallowing the same pill in the hope of losing weight? I know there are thousands upon millions of diet pills that promise to suck the fat right out of you, but do you believe them?


I have tried all kinds of pills and none worked until I had a revelation. I realized that I had to do more than just swallow the pill. Remember for diets to work you have to:

1. Change your mindset
2. Change your relationship with food
3. Change your lifestyle (exercise regularly)
4. Stay motivated and committed

Are fast weight loss pills even safe? That is a tough question because it depends on individuals and their situations. Remember your doctor knows best since they know your other underlying problems, so seeing the doctor first is a rule of thumb. I personally think the best "weight loss pill" is changing your mindset and lifestyle. You may just need to exercise more to lose weight quickly.
