How Many Cups Of Green Tea A Day To Lose Weight?
Before I answer this question, I will love to tell you that the correct question is not “how many cups of green tea a day to lose weight?” rather the best question will be what should be “what is the concentration of green tea on each cup?” which I already told when I discussed how to prepare green tea for weight loss and you can then talk on how many cups of green tea you should take in a day to lose weight.
Concentration of Green Tea:
They is no difference is concentration of the amount of green tea you should take to lose weight or for it health benefit and they is no easy answer for this but from several scientific studies, they have agreed that the average effective dosage is 500 – 700 milligrams per day but putting this scientific way have caused many confusion among the green tea drinkers around the world till this came up.
1 tea spoon of green tea leaves for 1 tea cup.
This means that if you want to prepare 4 tea cups of green tea then you will add 4 tea cups of clean water into the tea kettle then use 4 tea spoons of green tea leaves for the preparation, read the details of how to prepare green tea for weight loss here.
How Many Cups A Day to Lose Weight:
Scientific studies have shown that take about 3 – 6 cups of well-prepared green tea will do the job of burning your fats easily but when you want to burn down fast, you can take about 6 cups a day though this is a natural and also the healthiest way of losing weight, it’s not often advised to you go into full dose immediately.
On your first attempt on drinking green tea, take 1 cup a day for the first 3 days and if no allergies, move over to 3 cups for the next 4 days and if no problem, you can run a full dosage of 6 cups a day and when you shed the first 30 pounds, you are advised to return to about 4 – 5 cups a day and when you’ve reached to the body weight you want, you can reduce to 3 cups of green tea a day.
When To Drink Green Tea For Effect:
If you are regular green tea drinker, you should know that they are times you should drink green tea to take effect and do the full of a green tea drink and that’s why most people who doesn’t know about this will say that green tea does not have any effect on them rather than saying that they are not getting it right.
Let me tell you a secret, green tea just like any other stuff or medication that has health and weight loss benefits, they have their side effects for beginners which will need them to adapt, some beginning green tea drinkers complain that after drinking green tea in the night that they can’t sleep well, though that’s the truth and one of the side effects on beginners that can be sure by adaptation and that’s why as a beginner you should take 1 cup a day for 3 days before moving to the next level so that your body will slowly adapt to these effects so that you won’t have any problem as a green tea drinker.
Well, I will skip that tutorial and tell you what you need to know about the time and when you should drink green tea for maximum effect both on weight loss and health benefits.
Boost Cup: This is the very first cup which you should take very early in the morning without taking any other thing which includes not even drinking water first, this first cup works in detoxing your body and boosting your body immunes to get ready for body activities and it should be taken around 5:00 am – 6:00 am every day, this boost cup has an effect of causing loss of appetite and most green tea drinkers have said that after taking the boost cup, they won’t have the appetite to take their breakfast but just like the activity cup, you can adjust to it after sometime.
Immediately after drinking this first cup of the green tea, it is advised that you go for the early morning running, like about 2 – 6 kilometers nice, slow and steady race to burn out the calories and jog up the body organs to give way for the effect the green tea.
You should also drink iced water when you are thirsty; it is recommended that the water temperature be about a minimum of -10 degree Celsius to a maximum of 10 degree Celsius, you are drinking this iced water to burn more calories. When you drink the iced water, the body will heat the iced water to come to the body temperature thereby burning the calories.
Antioxidant Cup: This is another must cup and it’s also called the cleansing cup which is taken together with the breakfast to help break down the food immediately, prevent any food poisoning caused by bacteria on the food and reduce the cholesterol on the food.
Workaholic Cup: This is third cup that is taken around 11 pm – 12 pm which is highly recommended for the highly overweight people who wants to burn their weight fast and this cup is not recommended for everybody and as much not a must cup of green tea.
Relaxation Cup: This is fourth cup which should be taking around 1pm – 3 pm when things get very intense at workplace or if you are in stress, anxiety and you want to relax your immune system and calm your nerves, jasmine green tea is particular recommended at this time because of the relaxation contents and aromatherapy substances that comes from the jasmine flowers.
Stroll Cup: the very fifth cup and I particularly love this cup too; jasmine green tea is also particularly for this cup and it should be taken within 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm daily. It’s a very sensitive cup when the green tea extracts slowly burn down the calories while you are strolling and viewing the nature’s pleasantries. It’s advised that you sip the green tea while you are taking your evening stroll.
Activity Cup: The last cup of the day which should be taken immediately before you go to sleep, it’s called the “activity cup” because scientific studies have shown that this last cup before you sleep is the most effective cup followed by the “boost cup”. This activity starts work immediately you are asleep and it burns the most calories and causes a high metabolic activity in your body to burn fats and that’s why the beginners complain that they can’t sleep but that is only for the beginners, you can adjust to this activity cup within 1 week.
