Skinny celebs are busy supping green tea in a bid to keep excess weight at bay. What are the weight loss claims all about?
Green tea: celebrity weight loss bevvie
Drink two cups of green tea and it can really help shift the pounds - so say the experts.
Celebrity fans of antioxidant-rich green tea are said to include Victoria Beckham, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez.
Why? Well, drink two cups of green tea a day in combination with an exercise and healthy eating plan and you might see the pounds drop off more easily.
Nutritionist Kate Butler says, 'Recent studies in mice show that drinking green tea can slow down weight gain even when accompanied by a fatty diet. The good news is that there is some evidence to suggest this effect on body weight can also be seen in humans.'
Specialist green Cho-Yung Tea flew off the shelves after its launch last year, becoming Holland and Barrett's biggest-selling food product. Now it's back with a new-look pack just in time for the pre-Christmas weight loss season.
Based on a 400-year-old Chinese recipe, Cho-Yung Tea is made from 100% natural ingredients including Oolong leaf, lotus leaf, gynostemma leaves, cassia leaves and honeysuckle.
Look out for Cho-Yung Tea as a Zest online giveaway one week soon...
