Green tea is known for its thermogenic action, that is, it increases total energy expenditure. The body thereby burns more calories, which helps with weight loss. The caffeine and EGCG of green tea are responsible for this thermogenic action. EGCG is also a powerful antioxidant.
Green tea is a great complement to weight loss programs since it increases burned calories. To be effective at weight loss, green tea must be combined with diet and exercise. Green tea will then accelerate weight loss.
