With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I tried it..) 1) She says that if you drink Chinese tea, it'll wash off the grease on your food.. (I dunno HOW, but it's like a theory) 2) Eat chinese meals (NOT the ordinary chow mein , egg foo whatever it's called... What local asian eats..) 3)Japanese meals and tea will also have the same effect... It sorta works you know.. I've sort of lost my love handles,.. (In two months that is... No chocolate, nothing but tea, meals... I had a few snacks though..)

Although most products specify the amount of polyphenols, only a few list the EGCG content. This is especially important if you are buying a green tea supplement. I got introduced to green tea in 1995 in Australia, and have been a fairly heavy drinker of it ever since. I personally drink 2-4 cups daily for many years. The other health benefits are of themselves well worth it)(antioxidant properties). Plust I like the taste. ============ Quoting from princesslodgey: I think green tea is supposed to raise your metabolism? ============= -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
