Default Green Tea Usage?


Alright, I am not talking about the green tea tablets or such. Just plain old green tea that I bought at the supermarket. You know, the teabags...

Just wondering if these are a good idea to use when I am cutting. Like 2 bags in the morning?

It's my understanding that you'd have to drink a ton of the green tea you find in the supermarket to have any effect at all. Just stick with the green tea capsules if possible.

Green tea is beneficial for cutting.

I mainly take the pill form since it's easier but if you're going to drink it instead you should probably have 5-6 teabags/day.

Alright, well I have like 3 boxes unused and I should use them up before the capsules.

5-6 teabags, should be all in the morning?

no, just drink green tea continuously throughout the day. A long time ago I used to drink 8+ 10oz cups a day (plain, nothing in it) and I started to see numerous health benefits. Specifically in the quality of my skin, and it helped get rid of some calicses (spelling?!?) I had on my elbows

Personally I use green tea as an antioxidant. 400mg of green tea extract is a staple in my pwo supplementation.

I would try to have 6 a day, if you can. I've found that drinking 6+ cups of green tea is far more beneficial than green tea caps.

No, I'd spread them out throughout the day.
