Green tea is a regulator of glucose, which helps to lose weight by reducing the impact of a particular digestive enzyme called amylase. This enzyme is crucial in the distribution and metabolism of carbohydrates. This means that green tea may slow the increase in blood glucose that occurs after a meal and stabilize blood sugar drop, which would otherwise lead to bingeing. Green tea also increases the body's metabolism, including those who use it to experience greater calorie burn, which contributes to weight loss.
