Chinese slimming tea works on your metabolism. Ssome studies have shown green tea has the ability to increase metabolism.  This makes your body burn extra fat.  The catechin polyphenols in green tea react with the chemical transmitters in the nervous system to increase metabolism.

Because Chinese slimming tea has terrmogenic properties, it promotes fat oxidation beyond what caffeine in ordinary teas as well as coffees, chocolate, and soda does.  This helps increase the rate at which you lose weight.

There are many different kinds of Chinese slimming teas to consider.  I’ll address three in this article.

Slimming Tea is a dietary supplement.  It is made from natural Chinese herbs and reinforced with Panax Ginseng.  This tea helps you maintain good health as well as to lose weight.  It has appetite suppressant qualities as well.

The down side of Slimming Tea is that you may experience increased bowel movements during the first few days.  If you shorten the steeping time at first, it will reduce this effect.

Slimming Special Tea combines a number of traditional Chinese herbs.  This brand contains the finest qualities of triple leaf brand teas to ensure maximum freshness and flavors.  Many consider this herb combination the most satisfactory all natural beverage available.

When you drink Sliming Special Tea, you should include a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet and also drink a significant amount of pure water.

The third kind of Chinese Slimming Tea I’ll mention in this article is Super Slimming Tea which was recently introduced by TripleLeaf-Tea.com.  It is a combination of traditional Chinese herbs blended especially to promote cleansing, detoxification, and healthy digestion.  It is formulated with licorice root which is known as “the Great Detoxifier” in China.  Orange peel is included to promote healthy digestion and it also gives the tea its robust taste.

Tea of all kinds has been a part of the tradition and culture of the Chinese people for thousands of years.  They enjoy tea not just for the health benefits, but also for the aroma and taste. Also, the tea that they consume brings them other benefits including great skin and overall health.  In fact, the Chinese have the lowest levels of prostate cancer and heart disease in the world, which many researchers believe is a result of the amount of tea they drink.

When you include several cups of Chinese slimming tea in your diet each day, you may well notice your body seems to shed wieght more easily.  You may also feel calmer and more relaxed as you let the effects of the hot beverage wash over you.  Adding moderate amounts of Chinese slimming tea to your daily dietary routine is a good idea, and it tastes great.

You see, when people talk about losing weight, they don’t always comprehend exactly what that means. Most people automatically connect weight with fat, but that’s not accurate.

If you want to lose 15 pounds just so it looks better on the scale readout, then it probably doesn’t matter whether you lose fat, water or muscle. If you want to lose that extra bulge around your middle, then you’re looking to lose 15 pounds of fat fast.

Regardless of whether you want to lose fat or pounds, it’s important to know that water makes up part of that loss. In fact, during the first few days of any diet, water makes up the majority of loss.

There are countless sites on the internet that claim to be able to show you how to lose 15 pounds fast. What they don’t always tell you is that losing weight fast can be dangerous to your health. Of course, it all depends on what you consider ‘fast’. For some people, a month would be fast while others see it as something more immediately, like a few days or a week.

The most realistic goal would be to lose 15 pounds in a month, because that’s far more achievable. Still, it can be risky if you don’t approach your weight loss correctly.

If you want to lose 15 pounds fast, it can’t be all water, which is the easiest to shed. Your body needs water to survive. Deprive it of too much water and it could suffer health problems.

Starvation or near starvation isn’t the answer either. In fact, not eating will cause your body to retain and even gain weight. When your body isn’t getting enough nutrients, it goes into survival mode, and hangs onto everything you feed it, which adds weight.

The best way to lose 15 pounds fast is by eating foods such as meat that use more of your energy to digest it. You could eat nothing but meat, but that wouldn’t be healthy either. Your body needs a well-rounded diet that provides all the required nutrients. You can eat a well balanced diet and still lose weight if you know which foods to choose.

Before starting your weight loss plan, take measurements of your body including your weight and fat content. Special callipers (usually part of a weight loss or fitness center’s tool kit) are used to measure fatty tissue on various areas of your body. Keep these figures handy so you can see your progress.

Here are some things you can do to lose 15 pounds fast.

1. Avoid foods that cause water retention, like salt. Cut back on salt and you’ll begin to shed weight.
2. Eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day to keep your body’s digestive process working and raises your metabolism.
3. Add foods that use more energy to digest, including meat, chicken, salmon, asparagus, cheese, carrots, squash and green beans.
4. Drink water throughout the day as this helps boost your metabolism.
5. Exercise to build muscle, because muscle increases your metabolism naturally.

Re-take your measurements about every week or two and if you aren’t seeing results, adjust your weight loss plan accordingly.

Stick to your weight loss plan and you can lose 15 pounds fast.

“How is that possible?” you ask.

Let’s take a quick look at just what is metabolism and how does it works. This explanation might help you to better understand the process and how it can affect your body.

When you eat a meal, your body begins the process of digesting the food, drawing out the nutrients and processing them to create energy that keeps your body functioning properly and effectively. It takes approximately 4 hours just to absorb the nutrients. This is repeated with every meal you eat. In a day, that amounts to 12 hours that your body is busy absorbing each meal’s nutrients.

In short, during the digestion process, our bodies burn calories. This is especially true of foods containing carbohydrates and protein which take longer than other foods to digest. Simply by eating, digesting and absorbing nutrients from the food, you speed your metabolism.

Does this mean you should eat more to constantly stimulate calorie burning?

Here’s another answer that might surprise you. Yes. But hold on before you park yourself in front of the refrigerator, bib in place, knife and fork at the ready.

While it’s true that eating more food will help speed metabolism, you can’t eat constantly. It’s better to eat smaller meals more often throughout the day. Your metabolism will then be working all day so your body is constantly burning calories.

As mentioned, there are some foods that require more of your body’s energy to burn. The degree to which they affect your body’s metabolism depends on the particular food choice. Caffeine, coffee, tea, chocolate and a chemical found in chillies are some foods that speed metabolism, but only minimally.

Carbohydrates and protein trigger the highest rate of metabolism. In fact, a protein meal can burn as much as 25% of that meal’s calories through digestion and absorption.

While a high protein meal might sound appealing, it wili not provide your body with the required amount of nutrients. Adding vitamin and mineral supplements is not the answer either, because they do not provide the same quality of nutrients that are found naturally in foods.

Your best choice is to eat well-balanced meals regularly that contain protein, non-starchy vegetables, fats and carbohydrates. This can minimize fat production while keeping your blood sugar at a level that helps to burn fat and build muscle.

Focus on these 10 specific foods that help speed metabolism and burn fat.

• Whole grain bread
• Chicken
• Salmon
• Eggs
• Fresh Cheese
• Green Beans
• Summer Squash
• Cabbage
• Asparagus and other non-starchy vegetables
• And, of course, protein rich meats

To temporarily boost your metabolism by as much as 30%, drink cold water. Your body will burn extra calories heating the water to normal body temperature.

Remember, there are other factors beyond your control that can affect your body’s speed of metabolism, including your age, sex and any medical conditions.

While these foods can speed metabolism, the best way to lose weight is with a healthy combination of regular meals and physical exercise, especially those that build muscle because  muscle burns calories too (even while you sleep).

Exercise regularly, stick with a diet of protein, non-starchy vegetables, fats and carbohydrates, and be sure to add some of those foods that speed metabolism, and you’ll soon see the weight loss results you want.

Increase the rate of your metabolism.

Burn more stored body fat.

Maintain more muscle mass by eating protein rich foods.

Calculate the correct amount of protein needed for your body.

Learn about the best food sources of protein.

As you are looking for ideas, here is proven nutrition information about how protein can benefit you.

1. Are you aware that protein increases the rate of metabolism of your body because it is Thermogenic? – because it takes more calories to process protein rich foods and nutritional supplements.

“Thermogenic” refers to the normal Thermogenesis process your body goes through in digesting and using the food you eat and the burning of calories and fat from that food. i.e. – producing energy from the food you eat.

The body requires more calories to process or digest protein than it does to digest fat or carbohydrates. Thus your metabolism is raised by consuming protein rich foods.

Here is a good resource for more information about Thermogenesis: http://www.mpcoffee.com/thermogenesis.htm

2. Increase the rate at which your fat cells are able to burn stored fat!

You’ll probably disagree with this, however…

Soy protein also contributes to the body’s ability to burn fat because as you eat more protein your metabolism is raised and it enables your body to burn stored fat instead of storing more fat.

Dr. Robert Atkins – author of the Atkins diet, as well as Dr.’s Michael Eades and Mary Dan Eades – authors of the “Protein Power” books, all talk about the proven power of protein and the importance of soy protein in particular.

More about soy protein in a little bit…

3. Maintain muscle mass by eating plenty of protein rich foods.

Realize that by eating more protein rich foods, you will maintain muscle mass and more muscle mass means you will:

• raise your metabolism
• burn more fat

Understand that your muscle tissue needs protein to maintain itself and when your body does not get enough protein, one of the first places it will get protein is from your muscle tissue.

Let’s also remember that one of the most important muscles in the body is your heart. You don’t want to damage that muscle do you?

Remember, muscle is protein and protein is Thermogenic – When you do not eat enough or get enough nutrition, the body goes into a “starvation mode” and it will hang on to what it’s got. That means it will hang onto fat stores as long as it can.

Since the body does not know when it will get more food or nutrition it is going to hang on to all the fat it has and begin to burn the protein found in your muscle tissue.

Eating less is not the best way to go because it starts to LOWER your metabolism and take away your ability to burn stored fat.

4. Are you feeling hungry when changing your eating habits to a more healthy lifestyle?

Maybe you are not getting enough Protein. You might be wondering just how much protein do I need?

Dr.’s recommend that you get nearly your body weight in grams of Protein. The average woman needs about 100 grams of protein every day. The average man needs about 150 grams of protein every day.

This is an average person who is moderately active. The more active you are the more protein you will need for your active lifestyle.

This is especially important if you are a person who works out several times a week. Protein and calorie intake are a concern when you are an active person who burns many calories (and potentially muscle) during a workout session.

Because it may be difficult to get enough protein without over eating, here are some suggestions to increase your protein intake while on your program.

Have you ever considered integrating a high protein (and preferably low carb) meal replacement shake into your daily diet? Whether you need to lose weight or not, nearly everyone can use more nutrition and protein in their daily diet.

Depending on your favorite shake mix, it could be anywhere from 9 to 18 grams of protein per shake and it will be loaded with vitamins and minerals your body needs.

Here is a suggested “Power Protein Shake” recipe:

Add 1/2 cup cold water and 3 Tbls of a High Protein low carb shake mix, to a blender.

Using the lowest speed blend the water and shake mixes together.

Then add 3 ice cubes, a banana or your favorite fruit and blend on a high speed for a special “Power Protein shake”!

More protein, fewer carbohydrates and calories than a regular shake mix made with milk or soy beverage are the benefits of the “Power Shake”.

The “Power Shake” also helps to keep you feeling fuller and satisfied the during the day and will help you eat less while maintaining the benefits of a protein shake!

Another way to give your body more protein is to eat a High Protein Low Carb power bar which may have 8 – 15 grams of hunger fighting protein. These power bars always make a great snack.

Use this in combination with the Shake mix and your normal meal(s) to get all the protein your body needs each day!

5. Do you know what one of the best sources of protein is? Many people say beef or meat in general.

These are great sources of protein, however are you aware that one of the best sources of protein is Soy Protein?

We won’t have the time to go into all the benefits of soy protein here, however there are some important points to highlight.

Plant-based Proteins, like those found in soy, have been proven to help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and elevate good HDL cholesterol. This contributes to less build up of bad cholesterol and helps prevent heart disease and clogged arteries.

This in turn helps prevent heart attacks and strokes. Products which contain soy protein may be able to carry the FDA approved “Heart Smart” symbol which means – “Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 25 grams of soy protein a day may reduce the risk of heart disease”

Animal Proteins vs. Plant-based Proteins -

Animal Proteins like meat and dairy, can be loaded with saturated fat and cholesterol. This type of protein can elevate the LDL (bad) Cholesterol when it remains in your diet for long periods of time.

Over the years, high LDL cholesterol in the blood combined with elevated homocysteine levels can lead to heart disease and clogged arteries. This in turn can lead to heart attacks and stroke.

So, try to replace high fat animal proteins with better cuts of meat – preferrably grass fed beef and plant-based proteins like soy.

Also, replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats like those in olive oil will help you avoid the negative health effects associated with high LDL cholesterol and saturated fats.

I know that reading this article has inspired you to take action.

When you follow these 5 tips, you may find that you can give your metabolism a boost and burn more stored fat because protein is thermogenic.

And because of this fact you can maintain more of your muscle mass by burning the protein you take in from food and supplements instead of burning the protein of your muscles.

Finally you will do your body well by taking in more high quality animal based protein and especially more soy protein which is good for your heart and circulatory system.
