Does drinking green tea help lose weight?!

If you're drinking green tea from a bottle complete with sugar and added junk, then no. If you're drinking brewed green tea from a teabag, then yes. It has antioxidants, which are good for you. It has a small amount of caffeine which is an appetite suppressant (but a small amount a day is good, don't go crazy with the coffee or you'll just end up dizzy all day). It also provides you with more fluids. Water does wonders when trying to lose weight. It is important to detox when losing weight because fat cells can store toxins you ingest.

As always, diet and exercise combo is the best way to lose weight. Here's a bit of help to point you in the right direction. Yahoo! Health has a lot of useful information.
