Does tea burn calories ?!


Question:

Does tea burn calories ?

I'm talking about a cup of normal tea ( made of hot water, sugar, a wee milk and a tea bag) not green tea.
Also is it good for dieting ?. I mean can we control our weight by drinking more tea?


Answers:
No

I have heard from many sources that tea is a nice way to help you maintain a healthy wright, not necesarrily to lose it. But it surely doesn't hurt to have a cup or two a day. I know I do :)

I have heard that drinking cold green tea is good for weight loss

It won't add to your calorie-intake - especially when you do away with milk and sugar.
It's 99.9999% hot water, and added to that the flavours of 2 grams of tea - you don't even consume the tea itself.
So there's not really enough of anything to actually burn calories, but the additional effects (walking to get your tea, relaxing, replacing suger-laden-soda with tea) are not bad for you.

There is no food or drink that will burn calories. Activity burns calories whether it's tapping your toes or going for a jog.

Tea can be a diuretic but it won't burn calories. If you leave the sugar out of your tea you may find you'll lose a bit of weight over time, all other things being equal.

its liek drinking water.. its good for you

no...tea doesnt burn calories. especially hot tea. tea has no caloric value and does not require energy to digest because it's essentially water.

if yur really on a drink-to-lose-weight kik, ive got a theory that drinking cold water will help. by drinking cold water, you decrease your internal body temperature, your body has to burn fuel to bring the temperature back up. this fuel can be from the food you eat to fat on your body, and thus u lose weight. maybe not a significant amount of weight, but if yur diehard abt it, go for it

hmmm..
as far as i know ..
tea does not burn calories...

Green tea may help to control your weight because it stimulates your metabolism. Tea alone will not help to lose weight. Pair it with healthy eating and execise, and you may start to see some results.

(:

I don't think so. :-)

Tea certainly doesn't help in losing weight or calories...but if you will increase the of tea up to 5-6 cups that is only going to increase the caffeine and decrease the calcium of the body.

Though I've never tasted it, it really causes weight loss but don't add milk though, since it would block the healthy effects.
