It also reduces your hunger so that you eat less and that way also you lose some weight.

There was a study done by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that kept track of weight loss with the addition of tea to a diet. The results were amazing. They found that those that drank green tea burnt thirty-five to forty percent more calories every day. One study showed that a person lost double the weight of another who wasn't taking green tea. So four to six glasses a day should be a great start to losing weight.

The tentative results say that the people who drank tea are losing more weight.
