Perricone’s New Promise “Whoo! That is great!” exclaimed Oprah. “Dr. Perricone sure knows how to excite girl”, I thought last week as I was watching Oprah’s, “Look 10 years younger in 10 days.” Dr. Perricone promised Oprah she’d lose weight if she would just replace her coffee with green tea. Oprah couldn’t keep her excitement to herself, “I’m gonna do that. Okay. That is good!” Dr. Perricone explained, “Coffee has organic acids that raise your blood sugar, raising insulin. Insulin puts a lock on body fat. When you switch over to green tea, you get your caffeine. You’re all set. But you will drop your insulin levels and body fat will fall very rapidly. So 10 pounds in six weeks, I will guarantee.” I am happy to see that Oprah has joined the bandwagon and is talking about all the healthy benefits of green tea. Enhancing the immune system, building stronger bones, and decreasing cancer risks are just a few. However, the biggest buzz is about green tea’s ability to win the battle of the bulge. Studies on green tea continue to reach the same conclusions. Green tea assists appetite suppression, helps burn more calories, and works to increase your body’s energy production. By increasing activity and decreasing your caloric intake, weight loss becomes a natural process with green tea. The only catch with these studies is the amount of green tea you would have to drink each daily. Experts say a person would have to drink a few quarts of green tea daily to obtain these benefits. That is impossible. I don’t know anyone who has the time to prepare and drink 12-15 cups of green tea each day. Editor’s Note: Now you can join Oprah and lose weight with green tea. You get 30 cups of green tea per serving of Green Tea300. The Green Tea300 patch and instant beverage combination provides the perfect way to maximize the benefits of green tea. The extract used in Green Tea300 uses the entire green tea leaf. This process cuts down on the actual dosage necessary, while providing maximum potency. Each serving of Green Tea300 contains 300 mg of polyphenols, the potent antioxidant in green tea, with only 45 mg of caffeine. Green Tea300 is the ultimate way to take advantage of the health benefits of green tea. Japanese Green Tea Online ships the highest grade green tea from Japan to customers worldwide.
