You heard it on Oprah, Oprah’s New Diet Secret
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!
