Green tea is known for its health benefits but it’s now gaining popularity for its ability to aid in weight loss. Perhaps it all started when Dr. Perricone said on Oprah that if she switched to green tea from coffee would lose 10 pounds in 6 weeks just making that one change in routine. Oprah was excited, to say the least! She’s had excellent results from green tea and it popularity as a weight loss aid has skyrocketed of course.

Star Diet Secrets has just learned that Gwyneth Paltrow, like Oprah, is a fan of green tea which can help you lose weight by increasing your metabolism. You can learn more about the benefits of green tea here.

Green tea skyrocketed in popularity after Oprah Winfrey had Dr. Nicholas Perricone (of The Perricone Prescription) on her show discussing the benefits of replacing coffee with green tea. He said you could lose 10 pounds in 6 weeks just by switching to green tea!

 Here’s the science behind why coffee is bad for you, from Dr. Perricone: 

Coffee (and it’s not the caffeine) can result in elevated levels of cortisol and insulin, leading to weight gain. Remember, elevated insulin puts a lock on body fat. If you substitute green tea for coffee, and do nothing else differently, you will lose 10 pounds in six weeks. Source

You can use this green tea supplement - Oprah endorses green tea because of how well the ‘green tea diet’ worked for her. By the way, green tea also has many other health benefits including boosting your immune system, improving cardiovascular health, and fighting off cancer cells.

Quotes from The Oprah Winfrey Show:

Oprah: Now I’ve read in your book that you said if I just replaced coffee with green tea instead, that I could lose 10 pounds in six weeks.

Dr. Perricone: Absolutely.

Oprah: Now really. How could that — what is the big deal about this?

Dr Perricone: Coffee has organic acids that raise your blood sugar, raise insulin. Insulin puts a lock on body fat. When you switch over to green tea, you get your caffeine, you’re all set, but you will drop your insulin levels and body fat will fall very rapidly. You’ll lose 10 pounds in six weeks, I will guarantee it.

Oprah: I’m gonna do that. OK. That is so good! Whoo! That is great.

Well Oprah did do this as she stated on her show, and started to take green tea. She didn’t say exactly how much she lost due to this green tea she’s been taking but she said it did in fact contribute greatly to her weight loss, which would explain why she loves green tea. Not only did it help her to lose weight, but it makes her feel great all day!
