QuestionHow long can you drink green tea before you build up an immunity to it in helping your metabolism?
I heard that you should drink it for so many days and get off for a while, but I don't know what the amount days is for drinking green tea and the amount of days to be off of it. If someone can help me with the ratio, I would greatly appreciate it.
Also any more tips for keeping the metabolism raved up will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
AnswerI have never heard the theory about getting an immunity to green tea. Most of the weight loss benefits from green tea come from the caffeine and the component EGCG. Our bodies like to work as efficiently as possible. Caffeine and EGCG both increase your basal metabolism, but if you drink it on a regular basis, your body will lose some of the calorie burning effects from it. The best way to keep metabolism high regarding food is to keep your body guessing. Don't be a stickler, eating EXACTLY the same number of calories each day. Don't consume meals and snacks at the exact same times each day (unless a medical condition or medication requires a set schedule). Don't drink the exact same number of cups of green tea every day. Other foods, besides caffeine, which may boost basal metabolism include spicy foods (which also make you feel full on fewer calories), calcium rich foods, and high fiber food. Drinking plenty of water will help eliminate waste and keep everything running quickly. And don't forget to exercise! Exercise may have an even greater impact on metabolism than what you eat. Like with what you eat, it is important to change your exercise all the time. Whether its the type of exercise, the distance, or the pace, your body will soon become efficient and burn fewer calories doing the same work if you don't keep it guessing. Muscle also burns more calories than fat, even at rest, which is another great added benefit.
I hope that helps give you some ideas. Take care!!!
