Do caffeine green tea stimulate weight loss

Green tea, made from the fresh steamed leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, has been consumed for more than 4,000 years. Green tea, black tea and oolong tea are all made from the same plant, with slightly different cultivars and processing methods to create the different flavors and purported health effects. Green tea has been attributed with a variety of health benefits, including weight reduction. Consult your doctor before using green tea for weight loss.

Green tea combined with caffeine may be an effective weight loss-promoting combination, according to a study published in the April 2010 issue of the journal "Physiology and Behavior."
