| | When it comes to losing weight, it's hard to beat exercise and a healthy diet. And anything we can do to boost our metabolism is a plus. What's one of the simplest ways you can help your body burn fat when you're not at the gym? Drink tea. In particular, oolong tea, which Oprah has endorsed as a safe and natural way to lose weight, has been found to speed the body's metabolism by 10 percent, according to the eHow article, "How to Lose Weight With Oolong Tea—Oprah's Favorite Slimming Tea." |
Exactly how does oolong tea help you lose weight? As the eHow article explains, it prevents your body from absorbing fats, which means extra calories won't have as easy a time setting up shop on your thighs, belly or other areas. For carbohydrate lovers, oolong tea can reduce the amount of insulin, a fat-storing hormone, your body produces in response to the excessive intake of carbs.
Green tea, another Oprah favorite, is also known to boost metabolism. The eZine article, "Green Tea Extract for Diet—the Truth Revealed About the Oprah Green Tea Extract Diet" describes how green tea actually helps your body burn fat. As an alternative to coffee, green tea provides the increase in energy you want without raising your blood sugar and insulin levels.
