Does Green Tea Help with Weight Loss? What Science—and Houston Experts—Say

Intro

You’ve heard green tea is good for you—but can it actually help with weight loss? At TeleSlim Clinic Houston, we’re often asked if adding green tea can move the scale. Here’s what the science says—and what works better if you’re serious about results.

🧪 What’s in Green Tea?

Green tea contains:

• Catechins, especially EGCG, which may boost metabolism
• Caffeine, which can suppress appetite and increase calorie burn

Together, they may promote mild fat loss when consumed regularly.

📉 What Kind of Weight Loss Can You Expect?

• Small benefits: ~1–2 lbs over 8–12 weeks in some studies
• Works best combined with diet and exercise
• Drinking 2–3 cups daily may support fat burning
• Helps reduce belly bloating and provides antioxidants

❌ Limitations of Green Tea

• Effects are modest at best
• Not a replacement for medication or clinical care
• May cause insomnia or GI upset in sensitive individuals

✅ What Works Better?

If you’re struggling with moderate to severe obesity, green tea alone won’t be enough.
TeleSlim Clinic Houston offers:

• GLP-1 weight loss injections
• Prescription pills like Qsymia® or Contrave®
• Personalized medical evaluations

Our advice:

Enjoy green tea for health benefits, but rely on proven medical therapies for real weight loss.
