Answer 1

I was about to say "No, of course not," but then I found this article.

I've chopped the URL into two pieces so that Y! answers doesn't cut it off. Just copy them into your browser, one after the other. The impression that I get is that you have to drink a lot of green tea to get the benefits, and the best way to lose weight remains eat less, and exercise.

Green Tea is really good for you--Mind, Body & Soul. It is a special kind of detox. Sure it makes you pee alot but that is completely normal, just like when you drink alot of water. The colorization in your pee being light yellow or clear indicates its doing its job, cleasing you. But if your pee is like dark yellow tho, then that means you're not drinking enough water or liquids, which your body needs in order to function, just like the concept of food.

I definitely recommend the Japanese kind b/c it really is effective, even tho it has a very strong, bitter taste and highly an expensive imported product here in America, especially leaves. I go at least 40-60 dollars a month buying 6 boxes of the tea bag version (because it harder to prepare it yourself with the leaves). I suggest if you're ever really low on energy, you need to stay up ALL NIGHT or if you want to improve your health, drink lots of it; especially during meals. AND DON'T PUT ANY SUGAR IN IT. It will defeat its purpose and make you crave more for food. I used to hate drinking Japanese Green Tea (and believe me its not a pleasant experience at first) but now I drink like 8-10 mugs a day so that's why I spend like so much money on it, haha. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

If you hate the taste but if you're one of the those people that can adjust to anything in moderation, I suggest you give it a try and drink it like once or twice a day until you get used to it and then increase the intake.

It really fastens your metalobism, because that bitter taste, the anti-oxidants (if you DO drink it all the time/daily) decreases your cravings.

Its a real energy booster and you never feel tired--just as long as you're drinking it that is--because it makes you want to be active constantly, which is it best to drink it in the morning before work outs. Even it you don't work out in the mornings, drinking it makes you awake and more alert.

Personally for me, it makes you think better. You make clearer and wiser decisions.

But PLEASE DON'T THINK THIS IS ONLY THING IF YOU DECIDE TO LOSE WEIGHT or need to. It's like a step in the  process. You also have to put in the motiviation & effort to as well. Exercise and eat healthy as well...then I promise you, it will work. It definitely helped me.

Most people hate it the first time when they drink things like Green Tea but I deeply appreciate it.

Hope this helps =)
