Top 5 Ways To Lose Weight

It has been proven that regular eating will kick start your metabolism. Having three meals per day plus regular snacks can also help you lose a few pounds. By doing this, you can reduce your calorie intake and have less food cravings during the day. The main thing you need to do is plan healthy snacks in advance. If you plan your food a week in advance you can easily buy a wider variety of foods whilst shopping.



Typically an adult will consume 40 per cent of their daily calories in the form of fat. With each gram of fat resulting in nine calories compared to four calories for carbohydrates and protein, you can see that by eating more fat you are more likely to put on weight.

Fat binders allow you to reduce your calorie intake from fat by up to 28 per cent, a massive reduction which will make your weight loss attempts a lot easier. It is important to use a fat-binder that is clinically proven and has sound medical backing.

The Miracle of Green Tea

The Benefits Of Green Tea

Green Tea Contains The Following:

Tannins - A group of simple and complex phenol, polyphenol, and flavonoid compounds. Produced by plants, all of the tannins are relatively resistant to digestion or fermentation. All tannins act as astringents, shrinking tissues and contracting structural proteins in the skin and mucosa.

What Does This Do For You?

Having a cup of green tea after a meal can aid in digestion. Green tea has been used for thousand of years in Asia as a digestive.

Catechins - Catechins are a category of polyphenols. In green tea, catechins are present in significant quantities, more specifically; epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG makes up about 10-50% of the total catechin content and appears to be the most powerful of the catechins - with antioxidant activity about 25-100 times more potent than vitamins C and E.

A cup of green tea may provide 10-40mg of polyphenols and has antioxidant activity greater than a serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots or strawberries.

What Does This Do For You?

Well having a powerful anti-oxidant coursing through your system after a heavy workout is just what you need to curb free radical damage.

Bodybuilding & Fitness Uses

Pre-workout - Green tea is a great alternative to the ECA stack. Yeah I know nothing beats the ECA stack but hear me out. A number of people, including myself do not like how the ECA stack makes us feel.

I get jittery and easily angered for some reason. The green tea is great because it does have some caffeine and the Theanine really relaxes you mentally but lets you perform physically.

Cutting - Research suggests that supplementing with green tea can raise your resting metabolic rate by 3%. In order to get this benefit you must have about about 3 glasses a day. If you have a bmr of 2000 or so that means 60 extra calories a day. Why do you see so few obese Asians. Its not the kung-fu. It's the green tea!

Overweight sportsmen and their cravings

From Celebrity Fit Club's Dr Adam Carey

Dr. Adam Carey, leading nutritionist and nutritional adviser to both the England rugby and cricket teams comments, “Being overweight has a huge impact on our health, yet levels of obesity continue to escalate and we are failing to do anything about it. This new treatment, called Proactol™ , could provide a kick start for those who find it hard take control of their weight.”

“Taken after food, Proactol™, made of non-soluble and soluble fibres, immediately attaches to fats found floating on the surface of the stomach. This creates a fat-fibre complex that is too large to be absorbed in the small intestine, allowing the fat to pass naturally through the body.”

Dr Carey added, “Ideally people need to adopt a healthy lifestyle with plenty of exercise and a balanced diet, however, we need to recognise that many people find it hard to take that first step. Proactol™ can provide some initial support by binding dietary fat, decreasing food cravings, suppressing appetite and reducing blood cholesterol.”
