Green Tea
Our review of the research has revealed that an average person can expect to lose at least 2-4 pounds of weight with consistent intake of about 4 cups of green tea daily over 8-12 weeks without changing any of the diet or activity level.
Multiple trial outcomes, green tea, and hyperlipidemia:
A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized, controlled trial evaluated the relationship between green tea catechins and serum lipid levels (including total, LDL and HDL cholesterol levels and triglycerides), 20 trials, including a total of 1,415 subjects were included in the analysis. Green tea catechins in doses ranging from 145 to 3,000 mg/d taken for 3-24 weeks were found to reduce total cholesterol by 5.46 mg/dL and LDL cholesterol by 5.30 mg/dL, as compared to controls. No significant changes in HDL cholesterol or triglycerides were found. (111)
