  • The recommended amount of green tea for weight loss varies depending on the source. Some proponents recommend drinking 3-5 cups of green tea per day, while others suggest taking green tea supplements or extracts. However, it's important to note that green tea contains caffeine and other compounds that may cause side effects in some people, such as insomnia, nervousness, and gastrointestinal upset.
  • It's important to speak with your healthcare provider before adding green tea to your diet, especially if you have any health conditions or take any medications. Additionally, it's important to avoid consuming excessive amounts of green tea or supplements, as this may lead to adverse effects and toxicity.
  • Overall, while green tea may have some potential benefits for weight loss, there is limited scientific evidence to support its effectiveness. Therefore, it's important to focus on making healthy lifestyle changes, such as eating a balanced diet and engaging in regular physical activity, to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
