I've searched everywhere. I keep reading in verious places that Green Tea, or more specifically EGCG aides in BLOCKING fat absorption. This bothers me considering we basically use fat as energy while on keto type diets yes?
I was considering stacking 1000mg of Green Tea Extract (50% EGCG) in the mornings with my Caffeine, YHCI and ALCAR 30-45 minutes prior to cardio..
I'm either reading something on BLOCKING fat absorption, or aiding in fatloss and increasing thermogenesis.
Thanks

Green Tea Extract (EGCG) and fatloss
The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and hear all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds. ~Henry Rollins

see that's what I thought..
but I been reading ALOT, and keep seeing "blocks dietary fat absorption". Which really has me think that as good as green tea is, is not very keto friendly.The Iron never lies to you.

Yes, but caffeine throws you out of ketosis
I believe that caffeine is harmful to keeping your body in ketosis. Am i wrong? And green tea is full of caffeine. The two are counter-productive i believe... so try one or the other not both

Sarahope please explain to me "HOW DOES CAFFEINE THROW YOU OUT OF KETOSIS"? I thought Lyle talks about caffeine in his book ULTIMATE DIET 2.0, and he mentioned that it was okay to take caffeine on a KETO DIET? or is it?
