Green tea and black tea come from the same tea plant but green tea is much less processed. That is why green tea is greater in benefits and richer in antioxidants.
Researchers have found that consumption of green tea extract 3 times a day can increase metabolism by approximately 4% in 24 hours. Participants taking green tea extract burned more fat than those taking other extract. Catechin, found naturally in green tea, in combination with caffeine can reduce Body Mass Index (BMI), body weight and waistline. However, it was inconclusive if catechin could affect body fat change without caffeine. Further study is thus needed for clarification.

Get some exercise too
Green tea may increase metabolism but drinking green tea alone may take a long time for it to be effective in weight loss. This is why you should increase your physical activities.
3 simple exercises you can do
1. Lift dumbbell 20 times in 2 sets
2. Do run/walk intervals for 40 minutes a day
3. Skip rope 100 times in 2 sets กระโดดเชือก
Green tea may increase fat burn but too much of anything is not healthy. So, a good alternative may be to add carbohydrate burning supplement and exercise to your schedule to help with weight loss.
