calories

Objectives: To assess the
effects of green tea for weight
loss and weight maintenance
in overweight or obese adults
with calorie restriction.
Methods: Criteria for
considering studies for this
review.
Types of studies: Randomized,
controlled clinical trials.
Types of participants:
Participants are a healthy male
or female adults (18years of
age and older), who have been
classified as being overweight
or obese (as defined by
accepted standards such as
body mass index (BMI) or
percentage excess weight
compared with ideal weight
tables). Obesity is an increasing
public health concern due
to the increased risk of
related disorders. However,
appropriate prevention and
early management of obesity
are changes in lifestyle
patterns including physical
activity and diet. It has been
shown that green tea helps
to reduce obesity when
consumed on daily basis,
followed by calorie restricted
diets. Anti-obesity effect of
green tea has been associated
with its content of caffeine
and catechins particularly
(−)–epigallocatechin–3–gallate
(EGCG). A number of studies
have explored the effects
of green tea on overweight
and obesity conditions. In
a study of 200 subjects, it
was observed that 2 cups of
100% pure green tea helps
in reducing weight in the
population who followed
restriction in calories &
20minutes of physical activity.
Calories were restricted to
BMR. The consumption of
green tea or its catechins helps
in significant reduction of body
mass index (BMI), body weight
and body fat by increasing
postprandial thermogenesis
and fat oxidation. Several
studies have hypothesized
biological mechanisms
whereby green tea may
reduce adipocyte lipogenesis,
decrease fat absorption, as well
as suppressed appetite and
nutrient absorption. In addition
to this simple sugars were
avoided & Fiber increased to
25gm/day. Subjects lost weight
on an average 3.5kg/month
followed by 2.5kg/ month.
