New Study shows that Green tea helps burn fat


In March, 2008, a placebo controlled study on Green tea was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition to examine the effects of Green tea on exercise. Fat was burned at a faster rate for those who took the Green tea supplement. The study also showed that Green tea can play a role in insulin function and blood sugar tolerance, and increase the rate of fat oxidation. Green tea promotes fat burning both at rest and during exercise. According to studies on Green tea, weight loss can be achieved by increasing energy expenditure, which can be achieved by adding exercise and by taking Green tea. These findings suggest that green tea can help you burn more fat than exercise alone, and burn more fat faster during exercise. Even if you are not exercising, Green tea has also been shown to “promote fat oxidation in humans at rest.”

The added sugar found in many Green tea beverages could impede the benefits of the Green tea, and negate the claims of weight loss. Do not assume that drinking a high sugar drink will help you lose weight simply because it is Green tea. Elevated blood sugar levels signal the body to not release fat for energy, preventing weight loss.


By taking Res-Q TrimSystem, a combination of Green tea, minerals, plant and fruit extracts designed to enhance your weight loss plan, you can enjoy the well established benefits of Green tea without the sugar intake. It is recommended that you consult a physician before taking a new supplement, and before beginning an exercise program.
