Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Green tea contains antioxidants and has some positive effects on the skin and body. It can also be used as a low calorie refreshing beverage in place of your regular coffee or tea. But do not rely on it for your weight loss. It does not have the effects as shown in advertisements.
I usually recommend my patients to follow a balanced diet with regular physical exercise. No fancy food is required to achieve weight loss.
