After the Christmas and New Year binge, you are more than ready to shed off some pounds. Any weight loss solution so far? Perhaps you may want to give green tea a try after reading a new research from China.
According to the research funded by the Lipton Institute of Tea, regular consumption of green tea, which is rich in catechins, can have a very real and positive effect on weight loss and the body shape of moderately overweight Chinese individuals.
See, ‘regular consumption’? This means drinking green tea is not the weight loss solution you are looking for if you just want a fast and short-term benefit.

Repeated surveys over many years from medical experts and consumer groups have shown that between 90% and 95% of all diet programs fail. Do you know why? Because people are trying rapid weight loss programs that are not sufficient to keep weight off long term.
Besides trying weight loss plans or programs, you have to change your diet and lifestyle by doing regular exercise or speeding up metabolism.

So, your New Year resolution is to lose those extra pounds piled over Christmas and New Year holidays? Before you begin any fast weight loss solution, be it a diet pill or a diet plan, let me tell you the secrets of successful weight losers.
The National Weight Control Registry at www.nwcr.ws has collected data on people who’ve shed a significant amount of pounds and kept their weight off.
Here are the successful weight losers’ secrets:
* 78% eat breakfast every day. This doesn’t mean grabbing a donut on the way to work. Make sure you eat a healthy meal like an egg-white omelet and whole-wheat toast.
* 62% watch less than 10 hours of TV per week.
* 90% exercise about one hour per day. The most frequently reported form of activity is walking.
* 75% weigh themselves at least once a week.
* If a bad weigh-in sends you to the cookie jar for comfort instead of to the gym for revenge, skip the scale and keep an eye on how your clothes fit.
To keep your weight off permanently, you really have to maintain a low calorie, low fat diet and doing high levels of activity!
