If you drink a lot of high-calorie beverages, switching to tea may help you lose weight.
For example, switching from a sugar-laden mocha to a zero-calorie tea at the coffee shop can easily save you a few hundred calories,
according to Sarah Koszyk, RDN, the San Francisco-based author of 365 Snacks for Every Day of the Year.
According to research, tea may also have a direct effect on weight loss. "Teas contain catechins, which can increase metabolism by stimulating the body to break fats down more quickly and burn more calories," adds Koszyk.
Catechins are a sort of plant chemical that has strong antioxidant capabilities, according to study. Tea is high in four catechins: epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)
According to an analysis, EGCG is the most prevalent of the four and is thought to contribute the most to tea's numerous health advantages.
There are numerous types of tea, and their distinct flavours and qualities are due to changes in processing, geographical location, and plant variety. These variations also influence the nutritional profile of each tea, which implies that some types may be better suited to weight loss than others.
However, many research investigate the benefits of tea in capsule or tablet form, which may offer study participants with a more concentrated dose of plant chemicals such as EGCG than a standard bag of tea. Other studies do not employ humans, and if they do, the sample sizes are modest.
