Abstract in brief

  • The meta-analysis reviewed 11 studies to assess how green tea, specifically catechins, affects weight loss and maintenance, showing that catechins can significantly help reduce and maintain body weight.
  • Habitual caffeine intake and ethnicity appeared to influence these effects, with high caffeine intake potentially diminishing green tea's benefits and Asians experiencing slightly greater effects than Caucasians.
  • Overall, green tea components like catechins or EGCG combined with caffeine have a small positive impact on weight management, but individual factors such as caffeine habits and ethnicity play a role in the extent of this effect.]

Green tea, either as tea or an extract, aids weight loss and weight loss maintenance. Caffeine helps, but high habitual caffeine intake somewhat reduces this– you want to avoid developing a caffeine tolerance. https://t.co/7DE1KRMun6

6/ The weight-loss benefits of green tea are not unknown. Similarly, matcha has been observed to increase metabolism and fat burning, both of which may aid weight loss. https://t.co/dke6NJ29T2
