Please what can you tell me about black tea?

Ishilove:
I read up on all the amazing benefits of green tea and was intrigued. Some of the merits of drinking green tea include detoxification, appetite suppression which invariably will lead to weight loss, improved heart health and even aids in clearing pimples and acne (I think this is where detox comes in) etc.

This week I rushed and bought a pack of fragrant green tea, with a twist of lime and lemon. Yummy!

And I've been regretting wasting money since then.

I thought this shaitza was supposed to suppress appetite? My God, it is having the opposite effect on me. I've been drinking this stuff since Tuesday and the kind of hunger I've been experiencing is baffling. It is strange and unusual.

When I drink it, I experience temporary nausea, and when it passes, THE HUNGER takes over. After eating, I become hungry after barely two hours. Today I was weeping inside me because I felt the kind of hunger refugees in wartorn countries must be feeling. Right now I'm hungry again

This is not normal because all those I've spoken to tell me green tea suppresses their appetite.

Doctors in the house, can you give me insight why my own case is different?

Awww, sorry dearie. Hope it's not too unbearable? Any way, someone asked this very same question on Yahoo Answers. I've decided to reproduce both the question and the answer to the question as I think you'll find it very helpful:


[size=16pt]Q: I drank the Diet Lipton Green tea today (the cold kind) and I swear it increased my appetite.... how does that work?

A: I drink green tea, both the iced version and tea-bags from lipton daily. Tea in general increases the appetite because it has a lot of water and anti-oxidants, it's not just specific to green tea. I've learned to ignore my appitite because the same thing happens with me.[/size]

Thanks dear. Ignoring the hunger is very hard o. Ha!

Please what can you tell me about black tea?

Black tea is a type of tea that is more oxidized than the other kind of teas. Black tea is generally stronger in flavor than the less oxidized teas. It is mostly made from leaves of the shrub Camellia sinensis. Drinking a moderate amount of black tea (one to four cups a day) may boost blood pressure slightly, but the effect does not last long. And drinking this amount of black tea is not associated with long-term high blood pressure .
Preliminary studies in people show that a black tea supplement can boost metabolism and increase blood pressure. Changes in blood pressure can be a concern. However, a small increase may be helpful for people who have dizziness due to low blood pressure when they stand up. It also contains a stimulating substance known as Theophylline which can speed up your heart rate and increase your alertness. That is to say some one with High Blood pressure shouldn't take black tea. And it is more favourable for people with low B.P. However, if you must take your cup of black tea, be warned not to take excess owing to some amount of polyphenol in it. At least a 'once in a while' basis will do the magic of stepping down your sugar level, cholesterol level, prevent kidney stones and Parkinson disease.

Goodheart02, thank you so much. I don't have BP issues, thank God. Which one would you recommend for a young and vibrant weight watcher? Green or black?

Ishilove:

Ha! I thought all Green Tea are the same?

Goodness, so I will have to embark on trial and error...

The brand I bought is 'Ahmad Tea'. If I try another brand and the same thing happens then I will have to keep off completely. I didn't drink the tea today and thankfully I didn't feel the insane hunger, but I found myself craving to eat even when I wasn't hungry. That's bad news for a weight watcher

Ahmad Tea? That's my brand. I go for the mint. For me it detoxifies.

It doesn't make you hungry, yes?

Ishilove:

It does. My food goes to my feet with the way I'm eating presently: it doesn't show. Yet.
I am preempting that tendency.
I drink it with food so that it can digest that or else I'll disappear!
The plus side is I am weaned off caffeine.

Fantastic idea. Eating it with food will reduce hunger, as I have come to discover. I just hope it helps me with my weight watching.

How's your diet regime by the way? Are you indulging avocados?

Can you give me reasons why prefer black over green?

Sorry for asking so many questions. Doctors in the past have complained I bug them with questions. I am a very inquisitive porson

Try it. Avocado pear I mean. It's filling without fattening.

I think I just will. Thanks.

I just hope it isn't too expensive.

Avocado is actually quite calorie dense and much of it is "fat" albeit "good fat". That said, if you are weight watching, you will either eat whole avocado and cut calories on other things or eat portion size avocado and eat other stuff in proportion. Everything in moderation.

Re: green tea; caffeinated/ green tea has some phyotochemicals that rev up metabolism and suppress appetite. Revved up metabolism is synonymous with increased hunger. So, it would make sense why you are hungrier. Green tea/caffeine is also suppose to be appetite suppressant.


I will have to first ask if your diet is mainly refined/proceed foods? And perhaps your sensation of hunger is psychological?

As a weight watcher, quench hunger with smaller better meal options (fruits, veggies) split into 5-6 times throughout day, to maintain blood glucose and avoid crashing (which in itself worsens hunger pangs and becomes vicious cycle).

You don't have to starve just because you are weight watching. Just supply better food energy to your system in the form of healthier food choices AND eat more often-- in smaller portions.

It's okay to be inquisitive. I prefer black cos if it's taste and it's more oxidized. The theophylline content in it is also a plus.
