There has been a ton of research conducted in regards to the benefits of Green Tea. Patricia Rouner has compiled and summarized this information into a great book called Lose Weight with Green Tea. While I feel the title and back cover text is very "hypey" the information presented is clear, concise, and very informative.
One of the best pieces of information covered in the book was explaining the components of green tea that actually provides the real benefit - polyphenols and antioxidants.
Other information included was:
-The different types of tea
-The best way to prepare tea
-Which commercially available green teas have the highest antioxidants
-The benefits/harms of caffeine
-Green Tea supplements and what to look for
-How much green tea should you drink?
-How green tea combats certain diseases
The bottom line is, a person loses weight with a proper diet and exercise but green tea can slightly increase your metabolism and provide additional health benefits so drinking it is a good idea, but as can be expected, you can't eat Cheeseburgers 3 times a day and lose weight just by drinking Green Tea.

From the first page of the introduction I recognized that Patricia Rouner has a gift for writing and communication. As a successful writer and publisher Patricia is well qualified to do the research for this book. And she has done it. Her style is informational. Even the technical aspects of her writing flow like a story.
Her first chapter introduces the subject of green tea and weight loss. She moves on in a natural sequence with information on the growing and processing of tea. She then provides tips on brewing green tea, the contents of green tea, and a chapter on caffeine and tea. She discusses green tea extracts as a means of getting the values of green tea, and the impact of green tea in fighting disease.
She has introduced a safe weight loss method that works. The book reveals what Asian cultures have known for centuries. Drinking green tea helps you burn fat and increase metabolism. The antioxidants in green tea help prevent heart disease, certain cancers, and many other illnesses.
Rouner has included a wealth of additional information in her appendices: Other weight loss suggestions, ideas for reuse and recycling, a resource list, and a glossary of terms.
This is a book for tea connoisseurs, dietitians, heath care givers, and dieters. It should be on the shelves in every health food store and in the pharmacy department of the chains. I found the book informational and applicable to my own nutrition, health, and diet needs.

I loved it. This book is loaded with enjoyable information on the benefits of green tea for weight loss and the many other healthy contributions green tea makes. I am not a person to do much research reading and this book made me want to find out how it ended, there was so much information and so easy to read.
Thanks
