Can green tea help you burn more fat?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Green tea helps with weight loss in three ways. First, green tea has catechins that push your body towards thermogenesis. Second, it's a diuretic, so you lose water bloat. And third, it lowers blood sugar, so you don't have cravings. 3-5 cups a day over a period of months seems about the right amount to gain the benefits of losing weight.

No: According to the national institutes of health (nih) there are no foods that burn fat. This is a myth perpetuated by marketers. Green teas can contain healthy antioxidants but they play no meaningful role in weight loss.
