My 30 Day Diet Challenge

It seems lately that I’m hearing about green tea diets wherever I go. Just the other day, Oprah did a segment with Dr. Perricone where they discussed the benefits of green tea in losing weight:

“Oprah: Now I’ve read in your book that you said if I just replaced coffee with green tea instead, that I could lose 10 pounds in six weeks.

Dr. Perricone: Absolutely.

Oprah: Now really. How could that — what is the big deal about this?

Dr Perricone: Coffee has organic acids that raise your blood sugar, raise insulin. Insulin puts a lock on body fat. When you switch over to green tea, you get your caffeine, you’re all set, but you will drop your insulin levels and body fat will fall very rapidly. So 10 pounds in six weeks, I will guarantee it.

Oprah: I’m gonna do that. OK. That is so good! Whoo! That is great.”

Now I’m no doctor, but this seems to make sense. I personally feel that green tea is way better for your health than coffee and will be switching it into my diet when my Ultra Green Tea Lean arrives!
