This has been widely marketed for years as a fat burner and I was curious if anyone has tried it with any success? Personally I hate the taste of green tea so I have not tried it. Would love to hear any results. THANKS

For me lemon water has worked much better in burning fat than green tea.

Everyday I wake up, juice a lemon, add it to a warm cup of water, mix it and drink before eating anything for at least an hour. I also sometimes eat a small bowl of raspberries.

I lost 28 pounds in 2017 just from drinking lemon water everyday for a whole year.

Woah thats great

Nothing else changed in that year? Diet (even subconsciously you might have made healthier choices if you made a specific effort to drink lemon water for fat loss), or additional activity (walking more, change of career that involves more time standing, walking, etc)?

I've heard good results from lemon water with a pinch of salt ( a cheap gatorade) to help "jump start" your system in the morning.
Glad to hear it worked for you. How much lemon did you use per glass?

I suspect that green tea is "good for fat loss" mostly because people are choosing it over coffee with cream and sugar. I like the taste and will drink tea during the workday as a low-cal pick-me-up.

Several studies I have seen referenced will correlate green tea with low testosterone production. Use your own judgment but that's put me off of green tea ever since.

I usually just use one lemon, sometimes two if I ate too much the night before.

I also jogged 3 times a week during that year. I didn't really do much exercising aside from that. I did power walk over 5 miles certain days but overall the fat I had in my body burned off with a year of lemon water. My stomach became flat, was in the healthy range, my urine became clear almost everyday, blood sugar level healty, etc. I only started to tone up my body at the gym towards the end of 2018.

I lost only about 11 pounds so far 215 to 204 in the last couple on months.. cut out the soda i have been watering it down though lately Arizona green tea.. it's about 16-17g of sugar (watered down I add 50oz of water to a gallon just to make it last longer) vs 40g for single can of soda

that came out to about 258 pounds of sugar a year for soda. with the green tea watered down it's about 55 pounds or so.. i can expect to be anorexic in 10 months at the current loss of weight speed


I can;t drink plain tap water as it taste awful... taste like the toilet smell... eww...

Reducing carbs from your diet will increase green tea's fat reduction effectiveness ;)
