Cut Back On Coffee in Your Diet
Add Green Tea and Spices
Coffee has been reported to cause weight gain, so you might want to try to cut it out of your diet. Cut back slowly if you are a big coffee drinker, as caffeine is a drug and produces withdrawals in many people. If you don’t have adrenal stress, and are not hypothyroid or hypoglycemic, try to drink at least 1 cup of green tea per day. Green tea has been shown to be thermogenetic, meaning that it can boost you metabolism. Green tea is also good for the immune system, and may help to regulate blood sugar and blood pressure, often problems in people who are overweight. An excellent brand of organic green tea is Numi Tea.

Numi makes regular green tea, lemon mate green tea and jasmine green tea. They also make an excellent Green Rooibos Tea, without caffeine, which is OK for you to consume even if you are hypothyroid or hypoglycemic. Green tea can help you to lose weight because it, like coconut oil, is thermogenic. Remember, that means it revs up your metabolism. If you prefer to take a green tea extract supplement, look for a brand without fillers, like the Quantum Nutrition Labs Nano-Green Tea, also found at EcoViva.
Many Spices are Also Thermogenic & May Be A Good Addition To Your Diet
Many spices like cayenne, black pepper, tumeric and ginger have also been shown to be thermogenetic. So feel free to cook liberally with these spices and to add them to your food at the table.
