green tea

is it true that green tea helps boost you metabolism???

Truth yes...will it repair or get your metabolism back once you have destroyed it? Odds are not in your favor. Metabolism works best when you supply your body with small meals throughout the day-hard for ED? YES. But you will notice a lot more energy and your body will thank you. Drinking green tea throughout the day is not a bad idea, as long as your body can handle the caffeine. you have to supplement all the nutrients with vitamins...

Green tea will help, but you have to drink something like 5 or six cups a day.

It's supposed to detoxify your body, but there is so much crap and empty promises out there, it just drives you crazy. Try to eat balanced and work out moderately and your metabolism will be fine.

You can get green tea capsules that are decaffinated if you don't want the caffein. They might help your metabolism some or they may not, but the anti oxidants are good for you regardless!

i don't know but i love that new diet lipton green tea, it is really good. it comes in a bottle/jug and tastes like juice. i don't like regular tea...

yes it is true, but like anything else out there... its not a miracle supplement. if you drink a couple or a few cups a day its overall good for you...

when i drink 3 or 4 cups per day i feel less bloated and my system is quite regular. i have been in recovery from bulimia for two months now and my metabolism is just beginning to recover at this point.

green tea is a good start

You can try every remedy in the book, truth is that you need to eat in balance, you need to take moderate exercise, and green tea is good as a refreshing drink but not to use it solely YOU DO KNOW THAT !

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
