How were people tricked into believing that Green Tea could speed up weight loss?
It all goes back to a research study conducted back in the early 2000’s, where a group of young men were put inside a special room for 24 hours. They were given a placebo or a Green Tea supplement, and they stayed in the room for a full day. During that time, researchers measured their metabolism. Obviously, they did the study twice, doing both the placebo and the Green Tea extract conditions. Lo and behold, the study found that taking the Green Tea supplement helped these young men burn an extra 80 calories per day. Well, whoop dee doo. Eighty calories per day is nothing. If this really worked and was able to help you burn an extra 80 calories per day everyday, it would still take over 42 days to burn approximately 3500 calories, which is the amount of calories in a pound of fat. But that is a really slow rate of fat loss, and you’d hardly notice it. Plus, it is so easy to go 80 calories over your daily calorie limit, that there’s no way you would lose weight with Green Tea.
