Green Tea
Green tea is a great morning hot drink that can help wake you up and lose weight.
New York-based nutritionist Regina Fazzini explains, "Green tea makes for an excellent beverage alternative if you're trying to lose weight. It's loaded with healthy antioxidants that have been proven to help decrease body weight and fat when combined with healthy lifestyle changes."
Green tea helps you lose weight because it's high in caffeine and antioxidants.
According to Healthline, "Green tea contains bioactive substances like caffeine and EGCG, which can have powerful effects on metabolism."
Healthline continues, "Compounds in green tea increase levels of hormones that tell fat cells to break down fat. This releases fat into the bloodstream and makes it available as energy."
With that in mind, if you are hoping to lose weight and are open to making dietary changes, adding green tea to your diet is a good way to boost your metabolism first thing in the morning.
