The Goodness of Green Tea

Anyone who truly knows me knows that I am obsessed with coffee. I was drinking about 2 to 3 cups a day and would have to cut myself off because I would want more even after those 2/3 cups. The sad part about loving coffee, for me, is that I loved it with that sugary processed creamer (hazelnut was my absolute fav). So about a week ago I decided to try and give up coffee all together because I don't really like black coffee.

I still needed a morning pick me up though so I started to do some research and found out how amazing green tea is! Wait until you see the benefits from drinking this stuff! I switched over and started to drink this and I swear to you... The weight has been falling off. I'm now down 9 pounds. So I lost a little over 3 pounds in a week and I know that it was because of this switch because it's the only thing I've changed since I started getting back into this healthy life style.

Now... to be honest. This green tea does NOT compare to the taste of coffee with that delicous (but awful for you) creamer in it. At first it was kinda hard to drink it because it wasn't what I wanted but in just a lil over a week I have accquired a taste for it and drink about 3 cups of it a day and the amazing part is....

Yup... you read that correctly. 0 calories! So I squeeze a lil slice of lemon into it to give it a lil bit of extra flavor. TRY IT! You'll be glad you did! As for the coffee... I miss it but I know that this was another smart step into getting myself in shape and healthy again. (PS: when you go buy the tea bags for green tea make sure that the ONLY ingredients is 100% green tea)

Here are some other awsesome benefits to green tea!

If this doesn't make you wanna make the switch... I don't know what will! Enjoy!
