Role of Green Tea Powder (Matcha) in Weight and Abdominal Fat Loss
Based on a meta-analysis of studies, it has been found that people can lose ~ 3 pounds in a 12 week period (making no other dietary or exercise changes) by consuming 1 – 4 tsp of green tea (matcha) powder per day. The effect of green tea catechins contained in matcha powder on body fat composition is great even when weight loss is small (i.e. ~5 lbs in 12 weeks), Total amount of abdominal fat decreases 25x more with green tea catechin consumption & the fat just below the skin of the abdomen decreases 8x more than when green tea catechins are not consumed !
