Green tea is good for weight loss, energy, and to rid the body of toxins. The tea contains a stimulant that increases the body’s metabolic rate. An increase in the BMR increases the body’s demand for energy. This energy can be provided through eating. If energy is not supplied through eating, fat reserves in the body break down to produce energy, thereby inducing weight loss and causing an increase in energy levels. By inhibiting certain digestive enzymes, green tea also blocks the absorption of fat and carbohydrates in the body. After a meal, green tea reduces the rise in blood sugar levels. Low blood sugar levels result in a low rise in insulin. Research has shown that green tea can help an individual burn 80 extra calories a day. Green tea, however, is more effective for weight loss when combined with Hoodia.

Hoodia, a natural herb grown mainly in Africa, suppresses appetite without hunger pangs. When a person eats, the glucose in the body normally sends signals to the brain when they are full. Hoodia mimics this effect. Unlike green tea, Hoodia does not burn fat, but suppresses the desire to eat. Studies have shown that people who take Hoodia consume 1,000 less calories a day. This is equal to two pounds of fat a week. Research has also shown that Hoodia has 10,000 times the component of glucose that signals to the brain that the stomach is full. Green Tea and Hoodia are a strong combination for weight loss.
