It definitely helps with weight loss. If I follow five days of the "17 day diet" (which is great BTW) and drink green tea I can lose a pound a day fairly easily.

If I don't drink green tea the weight loss is about half that. It really makes a difference.

The 17 day diet is high protein - low carbs, very healthy as diets go and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to lose weight in a safe rapid way.

Just make sure you drink lots of green tea.

Green tea is supposed to be good for ya.... 

Just don't put sugar in it.... drink it raw....

or for a real kick try Mate'.... the stuff they drink in Argentina..... 

Green Tea?
 
Yes any desire to be drinking that should be treated as a major concern IMO.
 

No sugar here, I kicked that particular habit many years ago.

Jonbouy - I used to feel like that but it's sort of grown on me, now I can't get enough. Or perhaps it's melted my taste buds.

Why should everything taste goooood/delicious? Green tea is like water with a good health boost. When you notice what it does to your stomach and psyche etc., you start to want it. I think people should consiously get themselves more used to foods and flavors that are more "plain" and light.
The western folks are sugar addicts, fat addicts, salt addicts...you name it. It's like EQing. People feel tempted to boost when they should cut.


And talking about food, we have also seriously confused the concepts of what need, and what we want. Or, well, that is a general confusion...the richer the country, the more severe....

BTW...Trivia. When I went to China I thought everybody there drinks (green) tea about a gallon a day. In fact, tea is so expensive, that for example construction workers had mostly only hot water in their thermos, as well as folks in the clothing factories. Tough.

I can understand that.  I actually developed a craving for chamomile tea at one time.
 
I drink a fair amount of Lapsang Souchong too which many people I know don't seem to understand my liking for.
 
I know Green Tea is high in anti-oxidants I'm not too convinced of some of the things that are claimed for it by its staunchest advocates though, which of course isn't any concern at all if you've developed a taste for it and enjoy it.

There's nothing as cool as a boosted low-shelf around the bottom end, a couple of pronounced bell curves in the upper-mids can help too.

Kind of like developing a taste for me?

I prefer Long Island Ice Teas...

The Bapu is far more acrid pungent S-P-I-C-Y than green tea, therefore will likely appeal only to the most devoted of connoisseurs.
