Be careful of which green teas you use. Some of them contain laxatives, which make you go more often, therefore losing weight by not being able to keep anything inside.
No kidding here–some of these imports are not exactly regulated very well.

Green tea leafs are enzyme- active for asthma, weight loss and cleansing. so it may work.

Green tea is great for you, because it fights free radicals in the body with its antioxidants. But its not the best weight loss supplement… if you want to increase metabolism you have to exercise over time, or try a green tea supplement with additional stuff in it designed for losing weight specifically:

I exercise 2 hours a day at least. I was more interested in muscle building than weight loss. I decided to start drinking green tea to help boost immunity (because it was found green tea drastically reduces sepsis and I have an upcoming surgery and prone to infection). After two weeks of drinking a quart of green tea (no sugar added) throughout the day, I dropped 5 pounds. I don’t know that if you had poor habits that it’d be realistic to expect miracles in weight loss, but I do think the green tea may have given me a push.
I drink cold green tea that brew I myself. Also, I put the teabag in the hot water for a minute to reduce the oxalates, caffeine, etc and throw out that first batch because tea bothers my stomach. Then I use the pre-steeped bags to steep again in the next batch of water which I actually end up drinking. I never drink the first brew tea. I also believe Japanese and Chinese tea rituals involve the same process, they throw out the first brew.
The amount I drink is 2 green tea bags for quart of water. Drink this quart throughout the period of the day if you can. What you will first notice is that you have to urinate what seems a lot extra for the amount of green tea you’re taking in. What green tea does is help push out retained water. You won’t start losing weight right away. After a couple of weeks of this process and having to go to the bathroom a lot, you’ll begin to see the weight loss. Also, the need to urinate so frequently tapers off and goes back to normal. Like I said after a couple of weeks, I dropped 5 pounds and hadn’t changed anything.
What happens is that water retention interferes with weight loss. Meaning, it seems that people who have an extra hard time losing weight (I never had a hard time with weight) also seem likely to retain water. If the body has a hard time releasing water, it also has a hard time pushing fat metabolism. And so green tea pushes the process with the water first.
