Not sure it does...: Like so many alternative treatments or products, tradition, theory, hope and anecdotal evidence do not hold up when a formal review of evidence is done. See the excellent answers on weight loss on this site and drink tea because you like it, not for its supposed magical properties.

Green tea: I don't think that matters, green tea in general is good .So is green coffee supplements.Focus on low glycemic index foods(<40).Drink plenty of water.Have a consistent exercise program.Get your hormone levels checked, especially your thyroid and testosterone levels.
