Study Shows Simple Beverage Slows Weight Gain! Whoop!
I admit it regardless of the benefits, I really enjoy a nice warm cup of green tea and honey on cold winter mornings. The health benefits of green tea have been touted by various sources for years. And now there’s a study that proves it also can be thanked for less weight gain. Double bam baby!

Researchers may have unlocked the newest weight loss secret. It doesn’t come from a fad diet…or any diet for that matter. It’s a simple drink that you can sip on…and possibly watch the pounds fall off.
The new study comes from Joshua D. Lambert, Ph.D. He’s an assistant professor of food science at Penn State. Dr. Lambert’s lab studies obesity prevention…with a focus on natural remedies.
He recently fed animals a compound found in the drink…and he discovered it slashed their weight gain dramatically. His results were published in the journal Obesity.
“Our results suggest that if you supplement with (the drink) you gain weight more slowly,” says Dr. Lambert.
Dr. Emad Al-Dujaili is a nutrition and biological science expert. He’s a senior lecturer in biochemistry at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh, Scotland. He conducted his own study on the drink…and came up with similar results.
“Short term consumption reduces body fat and body weight,” says Dr. Al-Dujaili. “Consumption is cost effective, accepted by patients and has no reported side effects.”
So what is the beverage that may stifle weight-gain? Read on to find out…and see how it works.
Study Shows Weight Gain Slows
The beverage used in the study is none other than green tea.
Dr. Lambert fed a group of obese mice a green tea compound…along with a high-fat diet for six weeks. A second group was fed the same diet…but didn’t get the compound but.
Dr. Lambert says the group taking the compound gained weight significantly slower than the other group.
But how much slower?
They gained weight 45 percent more slowly than the control group that ate the same diet.
That wasn’t all…the mice showed almost a 30 percent increase in fecal lipids. Based on that data…Dr. Lambert suggests that green tea limits fat absorption.
And he offers more insight into how it actually works…
“There seems to be two prongs to this,” says Dr. Lambert. “First, (the compound) reduces the ability to absorb fat and, second, it enhances the ability to use fat.”
Breaking Down the Beverage
So what is the compound in green tea? It’s called Epigallocatechin-3-gallate…also known as EGCG. And that’s what slowed weight gain to a crawl.
Dr. Lambert was sure to add that there was no difference in food intake between the two groups.
“The mice are essentially eating a milkshake, except one group is eating a milkshake with green tea,” says Dr. Lambert.
You can get green tea at any grocery store. It’s also now available as a supplement…in many forms. You can find them online…or at a health food store.
Doctors from the University of Maryland Medical Center recommend two to three cups per day. For green tea extract…they say 100 – 750 mg per day.
But Dr. Lambert says a person would have to drink 10 cups to achieve the effects reported in his study. But he notes that research shows a few cups will help.
“Tea drinkers who only consume one or more cups a day will see effects on body weight compared to nonconsumers,” says Dr. Lambert.
Dr. Lambert’s study is only the newest line of research supporting this theory. Clinical studies say green tea may help burn fat…and boost metabolism.
Green tea continues to be a promising supplement for all areas of health. We’ll keep you updated on the latest findings on green tea as they happen.
To your best health,

Question: What are you without an immune system?
Answer: You are dead.
As morbid as it may sound, it’s true. When your immune system is weak you will get sick. When your immune system completely fails you will die.

Skinny Fiber: Cures the 2 worst enemies of weightloss
What are the 2 most difficult things for dieters to overcome?
Well… duh… it’s
1) Hunger
2) Cravings
Many diet pills on the market have the ability to “surpress” the appetite, but that’s about as far as they go. Other pills might be able to “speed” weightloss but that’s about as far as they go as well.
Both of these types of supplements only cure part of the problem. They don’t necessarily help you eat less nor do they nix the food cravings.
So, what is the answer? It’s found in a simple but highly effective product called Skinny Fiber by Skinny Body Care.
Among other things, Skinny Fiber contains an all natural soluble fiber called Glucomannan. Glucomannan has the ability to expand 50 times it’s size in your stomach. Isn’t it awesome this product helps you overcome hunger, over eating and along with all that, cravings too? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out, when you feel full, you WILL eat less and you won’t have as many cravings, if any at all.
Glucomannan also helps collect and remove excess fat and toxins from the (gasp!) colon wall. This process has a 2 fold benefit. Releasing built up fat will result in quick weightloss. And when you remove toxins you will improve your health and feel better too.
Needless to say, Skinny Fiber is your all in one answer to safe, fast and lasting weightloss.
I have been using Skinny Fiber for over a month now and have found it to be everything it claims to be. So why don’t you Try it RISK free today. Click below. What are you waiting for? CLICK IT! : D

By Tom Venuto – Natural Bodybuilder and Best Selling Author

😀
Take it away Tom!
“Stubborn Fat.” You know what I’m talking about – the kind of flab that sticks to you in those hard-to-lose places: The lower abs, the lower back, the “love handles,” the back of the arms, the upper-thigh/butt area – yeah, THAT fat!
How do the bodybuilders and fitness models do it? I mean, how do they get that hyper-ripped, thin-skinned look that reveals every ripple and sinew and mound of chiseled muscle definition?
I can tell you this- the answer is NOT drugs. I’ve never taken a steroid or physique-enhancing drug in my life, and I routinely hit 3-4% body fat for bodybuilding contests without difficulty. Some drugs work, but they are NEVER more than a temporary solution, and the nasty side effects just aren’t worth it.
The answer is NOT fad diets. It’s a FACT – 95% of all diets fail. If you diet the way most people are doing it, you might even be slowing down your metabolism and making yourself FATTER!
The answer is definitely NOT supplements, either. Some of my protégés were spending $300.00 or even $400.00 a month on worthless supplements and they now get BETTER results, FASTER with my new system – with absolutely no supplements whatsoever (or just the bare basics like multi vitamins, protein powder, etc).
After 14 years of trial, error and experimentation, I finally discovered the answer and developed a fool-proof system to reach outrageously low body fat levels the natural way – no drugs, no crash diets and no supplements necessary. And now I’m finally revealing my secrets in this new “Bible of fat loss” called, BURN THE FAT, FEED THE MUSCLE (BFFM)
These advanced, mega-powerful fat burning secrets do not appear to you magically just because you started working out. These insider nutrition and training techniques are not casually discovered on your own. You need a guide who has been there… done that…
I will be your own personal coach, take you by the hand, and lead you through the lousy advice, marketing B.S., hype, fads and gimmicks…and directly to the sort of physical condition that will make your body a specimen of magnificent proportions and flawless symmetry – The type of body that is envied, admired and noticed by everyone.
Don’t even THINK about buying any supplements or going on any diet until you read my revealing, no-holds barred fat loss report… Click here to read it now!

Weird side effect of getting too lean?
The Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle (BFFM) program
by Tom Venuto has been one of the most popular
fat loss programs online for almost 10 years.
Although some people consider BFFM a little intense, this
program has earned a reputation for being so effective,
that many people achieve six pack abs and very low body
fat for the first time in their lives where other
programs had failed them…
But then some “newly ripped” people find themselves
with an odd side effect of being TOO lean that they
weren’t expecting (and sometimes other people notice
and give them “flack” for it).
I swear this is a real phenomenon and this question comes up
a lot more than you’d think.
Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle author Tom Venuto explains this
bizarre side effect in this interesting and entertaining new
article, as he answers a reader’s question about face fat!
