If your present diet is not working (or “dieet ei toimi” in Estonian), you better look for other weight loss alternatives. If you read through this article (or “see artikkel” in Estonian), you will learn a few tips on how to effectively lose weight. Green tea and weight loss have been associated with each other for years. Clinical research has proven that green tea significantly improves weight loss by several reasons.

First is due to its themorgenic effect wherein it supplies and produces body heat by burning fat, which serves as its fuel. Second, it diminishes one’s appetite by decreasing or lowering the level of leptin, whose main responsibility is in the management of fat storage in the body. This decrease in leptin consequently lowers the appetite and sends messages to the brain that it need not overeat since it is already full. This is very beneficial to those who overindulge in food consumption in order to cope up with stress and anxiety. Third, since green tea contains caffeine, it increases the energy and stamina to perform workouts and physical activities that will then burn calories and fat. Daily intake of green tea also provides a plethora of health benefits, and is not limited to weight loss.

On the other hand, the hCG diet meal plan has been a choice for many women to achieve the body they’ve always aspired for. In this type of diet, there are two determining factors: hCG administration and the meal plan. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, or hCG is naturally produced by the placenta of a pregnant woman. However, it can be administered by injection or oral drops. Injection is done once a day with a recommended dosage of 125 IU, while oral drops are given under the tongue or sublingually which allows for maximum absorption to the blood stream. Oral drops either have multiple doses or administered only twice daily, depending on the type used. However, this diet also includes strict adherence to the meal plan which consists of three stages: loading, burning, and maintenance.

The major determining factors to the success of either of these diet plans are determination and discipline. Without these, no diet will ever work.
