Green Tea and Weight Loss

Tea has been cultivated and consumed by numerous cultures throughout the world for centuries. In fact, tea consumption is second only to water across the globe. Cultures in which tea is the primary beverage and is consumed throughout the lifespan exhibit lower levels of cholesterol, obesity, diabetes and degenerative bone loss, and enjoy an overall higher level of health. Although practitioners of traditional medicine in Indian and Chinese cultures have long used tea to treat illness and disease, Western researchers are now turning their attention to the preventative and restorative powers of tea.

While all tea comes from the same base plant, Camellia sinensis, three main varieties are created through the manner in which the tea leaves are processed. Green tea is made from tea leaves that are left unfermented. The active ingredients within green tea are catechins; a sub-class of flavonoids. These complex organic molecules are highly powerful antioxidant compounds which are believed to be critical in reducing the risk of various diseases. In relation to weight loss, research suggests that catechins play several roles in losing weight and burning fat.

One study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition looked at 100 healthy adults over a 12-week study period. Participants were divided into groups and given a daily dose of either 625mg catechins or a control beverage with caffeine added to match the levels of the catechin beverage. They also agreed to perform 180 minutes of moderate intensity exercise each week. The results of the study found that participants who had consumed catechins lost more body weight than the control group, and also that they lost more abdominal and subcutaneous fat than those participants who did not receive catechins.

Another study focused on the measurable ability of green tea extract to inhibit the digestion of fat. This study was conducted in test tubes, and not within the human body. However, over a 12 week period, researchers observed a reduced amount of fat digested with the addition of green tea extract. The results were comparable to the effects of the prescription weight loss drug Xenical. 

These results are just a small sample of the scientific research that proves the weight loss and overall health benefits of green tea. In addition, unlike many synthetic or chemical weight loss methods, tea therapies are all-natural and completely safe! There are no worries that your body won’t react favorably to tea, or that you may experience a frightening list of adverse side effects. There are no studies that warn of any negative effects of tea.


Advanced Tea Tone Plus is not a weight loss fad. It is not a synthetic, untested material cooked up in a lab and sold as a weight loss “miracle.” The proprietary formula that makes up our supplements simply takes advantage of the known benefits of a combined tea therapy regimen and adds the powerhouse of raspberry ketone. By combining all four ingredients in one supplement, your body is able to take advantage of the synergistic properties of the blend, each helping the other to be more effective in reducing weight, burning fat, and increasing alertness and vitality.

Green Tea and Stress Relief



Although long revered in Asian cultures as a healthful drink with medicinal powers, green tea has only recently become widely accepted in Western cultures as a superfood. Researchers have conducted numerous studies of the effects of green tea on a variety of ailments, and the results have shown that consumption of green tea can aid in weight loss, lower cholesterol, prevent cancer and boost the immune system. There is also a growing body of evidence that suggests that green tea can aid in stress relief.
Our modern lives have given us a great deal of advancement in medicine, technology and communications. However, we also experience far more stress than in previous generations. Our hectic lifestyles can lead to fatigue, insomnia and other stress-related issues. It can often seem impossible to slow the pace, or keep up with a constant stream of demands. 

Many people turn to the pharmaceutical industry for stress relief options, but instead of relief they are faced with a long list of unpleasant and dangerous side effects. However, there are natural solutions to dealing with high levels of stress. A tea therapy regimen can not only help with weight loss and the prevention of a wide range of illnesses, it can also serve to reduce stress and improve sleep.

The potency of green tea to affect stress levels comes from an amino acid called theanine (sometimes L-theanine,) which is found almost exclusively in green tea leaves. Theanine works within the human brain to shift the brain waves into an alpha pattern. That configuration is the same that occurs naturally when we are peaceful and content but still awake and alert. Theanine also works by increasing the GABA levels within the brain, which is a neurotransmitter that has been shown to affect serotonin and dopamine levels.   

Clinical trials to test the relaxation properties of theanine have produced remarkable results. One large-scale Japanese study included 42,093 participants, 2,774 of whom suffered from psychological stress.   Researchers concluded that participants who consumed 200 mg of theanine (which equates 5-6 cups of green tea) per day became noticeably more relaxed, as compared with those who consumed less than one cup of tea per day.  

The proprietary blend within Advanced Formula Tea Tone Plus combines green tea extract with extracts of oolong and pu-reh teas, as well as with raspberry ketones. This powerhouse combination allows you to experience the health and weight loss benefits of each of these ingredients in one simple supplement. It would be virtually impossible to consume the volume of brewed tea that it would take to equal the extracted compounds within Tea Tone Plus. In addition, taking a high-quality, all-natural supplement means that there is no need to source each individual ingredient, nor pay the high cost of obtaining each of the four components separately.

In addition, the combination of four separate ingredients also allows then to work in synergy with one another. Synergy is nothing more than the effect achieved when two or more things function together to achieve a level of result that would not be possible alone. In other words: each ingredient within Advanced Formula Tea Tone Plus boosts the potency of the others, and work in harmony to maximize the many health benefits of each component.

Dieting Without Tears – How to Enjoy Eating & Still Lose Weight



Traditionally, there have been two main approaches to weight loss – burning excess calories through constant physical activity or by eating fewer calories. 
However, a third possibilityis to use the naturally occurring weight-reducing properties of teas made from different species of the Camellia Sinensis plant genus. 
These four teas are Green, White, Pu-erh andOolong tea and they all contain a high content of catechins, which is now internationally acknowledged by science as a natural thermogenic, orcalorie-burning, substance.

What is thermogenesis?
Thermogenesis increases the body’s metabolic rate to burn-off excess fat – in the same way that a hard gym workout would achieve. 
This means that if you drink thermogenic tea, you will automatically burn many more calories each day, without having to do exercise or cut calories.

Unique benefits
White, Pu-erh, Oolong and Green teaallburn up excess fat, but each one also has its own uniquely beneficial effect on obesity control.  

White tea restricts the growth of new fat-cells in the body, making it easier for people to lose weight quickly and safely, and to stay slim throughout their life.

Oolong tea is a natural appetite suppressant that stops hunger pangs

Pu-erh tearegulates the digestive system to keep the stomach feeling full for longer, and eliminates excess fluid to prevent bloating. 

In a synergeticcombination, these four teas work together to produce ten-times the potency!

What scientific evidence is there?
In 2000, the International Journal of Obesity published the results of a scientific study by the University of Fribourg with the University of Geneva, Switzerland. 
The results reported that certain green teas have unique fat burning properties, because of the high quantity of catechinsthey containand notbecause they containa small quantity of caffeine.
2012 results
Up-to-date research, published in May 2012, confirms that green tea really does have a measurable and significant impact on reducing body weight in obese people (see details below*).
This was a double-blind study where neither the patients, nor the researchers knew which of the obese patients were receiving green tea.
After the completion of the study, it was found that the obese patients who had taken green tea daily for 3 months had:
·         Decreased body mass index
·         Decreased waist measurement
·         Lower total cholesterol
·         Lower blood fats (triglycerides)
The patients who had not received green tea did not show these beneficial results.

Synergetic blending creates 10-times the weight-loss potency
When these four teas are taken together as a special blend, a scientific reaction know as synergy occurs, which increases the effect of the weight-reducing components by a staggering10-times!
