Pssst… I've Got A Secret to Share With You

Studies, stories and our own personal experience have proven that drinking green tea turns your body into a fat burning inferno. The active compounds in green tea blend together and work with your body's chemistry so you can look slim and sexy and feel energized all day long.

The problem is, getting the benefits from drinking green tea is harder than most people know:

Green Tea Tastes Bad

There. I said it. If you've tried drinking green tea straight, you know what I mean. It's bitter and makes your tongue feel like a dry sponge. Ick.

So what do most people do to choke down their green tea? Mask the taste with honey, sugar, milk, or artificial sweetener. Not only are they adding empty calories and fat to their diet and sending their blood sugar level on a roller coaster - but the milk inhibits the beneficial effects of green tea.

End result? No increased metabolism, no extra fat burning, and all the extra calories ultimately add up to extra pounds.

Brewing Green Tea is a Hassle

You may imagine making a ritual of drinking tea, as Oprah recommends. Using the perfect porcelain teapot to brew your cup of green tea and then sipping it from a beautiful china cup.

But the reality rarely matches the dream.

We don't all have the same resources as Oprah. Scrambling around in the morning, waiting for your water to boil, searching for your shoes and the books you need for the day, and tossing your teabag in the cup so you can sip your tea between fixing your hair and getting dressed isn't quite the same as the moments Oprah creates for herself. Plus, you have to wash your tea kettle or pan, your cup, and your spoon and toss your teabag (or wash your tea strainer) and wipe up the tea that dripped on the counter or table when you removed the tea from the cup. Most busy gals don't have the time for this and intend to do it later and so the dirty dishes pile up quickly.

So far, drinking green tea has left us with with empty calories and a mess to clean up. But the benefits are worth it right? Wrong! Here's why…

You May Not Be Getting The Full Benefits

The chemical compounds in green tea are powerful, yet delicate. Careless storage, improper brewing and uncontrolled water amounts can wreak havoc with the levels of the key components, so you never know if you're getting the right amount to help you look slim and sexy.

Too much water or not enough steeping time and you may not be getting enough. Too little water or extra long steeping and you will have an extra-bitter cup of tea. Even if you manage to choke down the cup of super strong tea, your body may not have time to process any higher levels of the beneficial components of the tea before they pass through the system.

Is drinking green tea even worth the effort? Depends on how much time you have. To consistently get the proven benefits, you have to measure your water, watch the timer while you steep, gauge the temperature of the water and then clean up your dirty dishes.
