Green Tea Pills

Within the last year or two I started taking green tea pills every morning. I took regular green tea just becuase I like the way I felt afterward and I know that they have some benifits. Resently they came out with a green tea pill the curbs your appitite and helps you lose 20lbs in weeks if you maintain a regular balanced diet (2000 calories a day). Green tea has been shown to aid in weight loss in at least two separate ways; the first one being increasing thermogenesis, and the second one is increasing fat oxidation. To understand how each factor adds to weight loss it is important to know a bit about each process.Thermogenesis is the production of heat by the body as it burns fuels. The higher the level of thermogenesis the more calories that the body is burning at any given time. The caffeine and other compounds in green tea work with the body to slightly increase the rate of thermogenesis. This, in turn, burns calories faster by increasing metabolism. This is a gradual increase, and is not harmful to the cardiovascular or nervous systems. Some metabolic enhancers are very stressful to the body, whereas green tea is safe and non-harmful. This is how the green tea pill works.It is important to know that some fat is important in every diet, as our bodies require fat for nutrition and vitamin and mineral transport within our blood system. Too much fat in the diet leads to many conditions including heart attack, stroke, high cholesterol and other cardiovascular problems. By drinking green tea on a regular basis the rate of fat oxidation in the body is increased, and this leads to weight loss and decreases in cravings. It is also believed that green tea consumption helps to optimize the use of fat in the body and increases athletic performance and energy. Green tea has a specific action on the digestive enzyme called amylase, which is responsible for carbohydrate digestion and breakdown. Since green tea slows down the action of amylase, carbohydrates are digested more slowly and the huge increase in blood sugar is not noted after a meal. This drastic increase in blood sugar soon leads to a “carb crash” which causes cravings and snacking behaviors, definitely not what is wanted when you are dieting.
The use of green tea weight loss products still requires effort on the part of the person who wants to lose weight; meaning exercise and healthy food are still required. It is important to remember that weight loss also requires a person to completely change their eating habits otherwise just consuming the product will be a waste of time. If you are ever curious when it comes to diet pills, I'd say this is one of the safer pills out onthe market today and is worth trying.
