My favourite fat burning and pre-training drink

Green tea is one of my most favourite aids for detoxification and fat loss. It contains plenty of catechins - these little wonders help to regulate my blood sugar and appetite, and in turn help to promote fat loss.


The caffeine it contains a helpful fat burning aid when combined with resistance training, as this study suggests.

I'm also very aware of my caffeine intake.  I never have it on an empty stomach or first thing in the morning - I make sure I have breakfast first.  That way it won't upset my tummy.

And, since caffeine can stay in my system for up to 48 hours (which could disturb my sleep), I stick with 1-2 caffeinated drinks a day and generally avoid it after lunch.

Here's a little shareable from me for you to muse on too.



Wishing you all the best in health and happiness,

Fiona
