Let me see who is still comforting themselves with "drinking tea to remove fat"

Good! Rich! Abundant! Ah! "Eat more and eat more, I'm too thin~"

"I'm afraid of getting fat if I don't eat~"

"It's okay, have some tea~"

"Ah, ah, does this work?"

"I heard it can remove oil~"

During the Chinese New Year, a table full of delicious food is indispensable. After eating and drinking, the next step is often to drink tea and scrape off the fat.

The first cruel truth of the Year of the Dragon - it does not scrape off the oil, but the greasiness.

I don't dare to speak for others, but my expectation for the word "scrape fat" is that drinking tea can offset the fat that is supposed to grow, at best, it can help "scrape off" the fat and excrete it.

In short, our goal is to “eat well without gaining weight” .

Water needs no further explanation. Since it is water, it naturally cannot decompose fat, nor can it inhibit or delay the absorption of fat, nor can it promote the excretion of fat. Drinking some tea before meals can control the subsequent food intake by occupying the stomach capacity, but it also cannot play the role of "scraping fat".

Tea contains tea polyphenols such as catechins, alkaloids such as caffeine, as well as very small amounts of vitamins (for example, green tea contains only 19 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams), minerals and amino acids.

- Tea polyphenols such as catechins have health benefits such as anti-oxidation, free radical scavenging, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer;

- Alkaloids such as caffeine can refresh the brain and keep people excited. They can also promote the secretion of gastric acid, making us feel "hungry faster."

However, it is difficult for the above substances to affect the human body's digestion, absorption and utilization of fat.

If you feel hungry after drinking tea, then you are indeed hungry .

First of all, this is the effect of caffeine mentioned above. When caffeine reaches a certain concentration, it can make the central nervous system more excited, and the digestive system, excretion system, respiratory system, etc. are also easily excited. When the digestive system works hard, more gastric acid is secreted, which speeds up the emptying of the stomach, and naturally makes you feel hungry.

The second is the effect of tea polyphenols , which have a certain regulatory effect on blood sugar. Lower blood sugar → feeling hungry → want to eat.

You see, if you really rely on tea's ability to "scrape away fat," you might end up eating more and gaining weight .

If you replace your daily sugary drinks with tea, it can indeed help you lose weight.

Therefore, losing weight mainly depends on the difference between energy intake and energy consumption. A high-fat, high-sugar diet plus no exercise, where energy intake far exceeds energy consumption, will make it difficult to lose weight no matter how much tea you drink. However, once you adopt a light diet, limited intake, and exercise of a certain intensity to help burn fat, you can become "wow" even if you don't drink tea at all.
