Question Green Tea

Hey all - I drink one cup of decaf or caf green tea a day for a long time now b/c of all the great benefits.

I was thinking of actually taking a green tea capsul b/c I've heard it really helps with fat burn, etc.

My current goal is to get rid of some BF while continuing to gain definition. I'm actually really happy with my muscle gain so I'm more looking to cut and lean out a bit.

I dont know about the extracts... I tend to be against them as a rule because the water you are forced to ingest with green tea and yerba mate is a good thing that will help you accomplish your fitness goals.

If you havent already, I would also try out yerba mate tea.

I dont think one cup a day is going to give you the benefits youre looking for. I think it has to be something like ten cups a day?

Ive heard very good things about green tea extract capsules from Kent Nutrition, but their site appears to be down right now... grr...

Thanks bluesky. Yea I was thinking about upping to 3 cups a day and then also take an extract each day as well.

i will look for that Kent product.

Anyone else have good results with a certain brand of green tea extract?
