      Yes it does helps is weight loss. Black tea, slows down the body metabolism rate whereas Green tea fastens the metabolic activities and thus aids directly to weight loss. The best time to have green tea is in morning, with breakfast. you can have it twice or thrice during the day.

      It definitely helps in reducing weight. Black tea, slows down the body metabolism rate whereas Green tea increases the body metabolism and thus aids directly to weight loss. You can drink it twice or even more and the best time according to me is morning.

   i think the best time to drink green tea is in between meals, and during day time, not a few hours before sleep. But you may want to drink it with your meal to increase weight loss. However, this may sometimes lead to stomach discomfort.

      Some green teas are more bitter than others.
      The best way to make it is by using water of 80°c, and letting it fuse for no longer than 1 or 2 minutes.
      To begin with, I didn't like it either. After a while, I got used to it, and now sometimes even crave it.
      It does exactly what Vydyulashashi says it does, so it really is worth getting used to.

   Green tea ... I can't stand it's taste and tend to throw up every time i tried it. So, it helps me lose weight coz i don't generally feel hungry for the rest of the day ! Anyway, it is said to have anti oxidants and aid in weight loss provided a healthy diet goes along with it.

      But it doesn't have any actual health benefits for you if it makes you throw up. I'd leave it alone if I were you.
      
      Have you tried white tea or mate tea? Both are good for weight loss, apparently.

            Since you asked me, I just took a quick look on the web ...
            
            Mate tea seems to have different uses in different countries - in Germany - where I am - it's used for weight loss, so you know where I got that one from, but I couldn't find an explanation.
            
            You'll find a good deal of information regarding white tea and weight loss - according to one site, it has properties that help burn more calories and prevent us from storing fat. Looking at Wikipedia, I discover it to be possibly healthier than green tea.
            
            Take a look around and find out more.

   Green tea helps you with weight loss by boosting your metabolic rate, regulating your blood sugar, suppressing your appetite and giving you something else besides that high calorie, high sugar coffee beverage to drink in the morning.
   
   While it's not the magic bullet, it can definitely give you a boost in weight loss and in your overall health!

    Well, being skinny, I don't use it to lose weight. It just makes a nice, yet healthy, change from mineral water all the time.
    The green tea I like best is Japanese Sencha, or Chinese Gun Powder - that one is very bitter.

          I always have Sencha in the house. If you use water not hotter than 80°C, it will be mild in taste. Hotter water will make it more bitter. So it's versatile.
          It's also the most popular green tea in Japan, so I guess it could be considered the best.
          I've yet to try powdered Matcha, which you prepare with a wooden whisk - I think that's the one they use in tea ceremonies.

    wow that is so interesting, just read all about it.  Apparantly it is a law suit saying it makes improper promises about diet etc.  So if you ever bought you can fill in form and get money back even without receipts.......  the things you learn on hubpages.
