I lost 30lbs with Green tea- pics included

[brokenxdreams]

Yo all,
Wanted to share something that might help those who would like to stay away from harmful stimulants and still lose weight. Took the advice of a natural pathic Dr to lose some weight...see my pics of what Green Tea did in 3-4 months.

The following was me diet which helped me shed 30 lbs in 3.5 months, again using no gear, no supp's, nothing but the following changes...

-10 cups of Green tea a day

-Stopped eating red meat and breads

-Diet was composed of white meats (excluding pork) and tons and tons of Greens+

Drinking that much Green Tea always made me feel almost high, like a good espresso buzz without the burn out feeling you get afterwards - I dont know why but sex drive went threw the roof as well.

Did you know that a cup of green tea may provide 10-40mg of polyphenols and has antioxidant activity greater than a serving of spinach, broccoli, carrots or strawberries? Did you know that EGCG makes up about 10-50% of the total catechin content in green tea and appears to be the most powerful of the catechins - with antioxidant activity about 25-100 times more potent than vitamins C and E? I love this stuff...feel like shit if I dont have any...

As much as we use the man-made tools available like gear to better our bodies, we shouldnt forget what mother nature has also available to us...

How do you space out when you take your green tea? Do you take all 4000mg (50% EGCG) at once?

Also 50% ployphenols = 50% egcg?

I didnt notice any effect with pills...I think other than the health benifits they were a waste for fat loss, this happened when drinking "hot" cups of tea I wonder if teh heat from teh water triggered the thermo effects of the green tea as this was when I noticed and felt the thermo effect.

I drank about 8-10 cups a day, one every hour while I was working. Having 2-3 cups did nothing also...its when I was having 8+ cups ED that people at work thought I was on crack or something cause the first 20 lbs melted off so quickly...

Also...didnt lose muscle actually felt stronger than ever - I was just fat.

Facinating, and great, great work! I started out last november at 134kg and am down to 108kg right now. If my LBM ratings are correct, I am down only about 2 lbs of muscle for over 55lbs of total weight loss, so I know how liberating that can be. New life: totally.

Am I understanding this correctly? Green Tea. Just good old fashioned 'Green Tea'? As in Celestial Seasonings Green Tea? I must be a cave dweller.... sorry, don't flame me too bad, this is just new for me.

beyond a century sells both the extract and the tea pretty cheaply.

Hmmmm... I live in Iceland... beyond a century is a tough commute for tea.

Is there a special kind of Green Tea? Or is this just plane jane asian green tea?

Again my appologies for being so green... so to speak.
