One small study conducted at Oklahoma State University, for instance, found that people who drank green tea—and not even that much of it; only 4 cups a day—or took green tea extract lost about 1.3 pounds more over 8 weeks than people who drank water.

Read More »You’ve no doubt noticed that the tea aisle has gone green. What used to be a packet of green tea here and there is now shelves filled with green teas of all types, with flavors from refreshing to grassy to smoky. Now, whole cafes have opened up devoted to the stuff, Instagram is peppered with fancy-looking green tea concoctions, and most restaurants and even coffee shops carry a variety of green tea or two. Fueling many first-timers’ foray into the world of green tea is word from some scientists, wellness, and weight loss experts that it can even help you lose weight. So if you take your green tea as tea, and not in, say, green tea ice cream or a green tea Kit Kat bar, can this plant-based beverage help you drop pounds? Research in humans and animals points to a resounding “sort of.” But before we look into what that means, take a look at what green tea actually is. It's made from the same plant species as black tea, it's just processed differently. Trendy matcha is even a little different from that. With most teas, you brew them and then discard the leaves. Matcha is a powder made from the leaves. So when you’re drinking a beverage made from matcha, you’re drinking the finely-ground leaves themselves. (Not weird. Think about it: When you eat salad or even parsley, you’re eating leaves, so why not drink them?) And as you've likely already noticed, there are many variations in green tea flavors. So if you've tried it once and didn't love it, a different brand may give you a completely different flavor experience. And while there are no guarantees it can drop pounds (of course, it can help you achieve a healthy weight if you're drinking it in place of sugary sodas or sugared-up coffee drinks), here's why it just might help a bit:

Science being science, there are also a few studies that showed no benefit from green tea drinks or supplements. Overall, “I would say it may assist modestly,” says Kristin Kirkpatrick, R.D.N., consultant for Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine for the Cleveland Clinic. In studies that found a weight-loss benefit in green tea, there was a “trend toward weight loss” or tea drinkers lost “significantly” more. But it’s not usually a total transformation. One small study conducted at Oklahoma State University, for instance, found that people who drank green tea—and not even that much of it; only 4 cups a day—or took green tea extract lost about 1.3 pounds more over 8 weeks than people who drank water. Some studies suggest even decaf green tea may have a benefit.
