Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston are among the many celebrities who stay slim with tea, especially green tea. Gwyneth has reportedly called herself "addicted" to green tea. Is this just a tempest in a teapot...or can green tea really help more than other beverages with regard to raising
the metabolism and helping with weight loss? A celebrity medical doctor says "yes!"
Green tea is an "excellent metabolism booster because it has ECCG in it," says celebrity doctor Fred Pescatore, M.D. A physician who regularly treats celebrities and appears in various entertainment magazines commenting on celebrity weight loss, Dr. Pescatore authored the New York Times best-selling book, The Hampton’s Diet .
The beverage also contains theanine, "which calms you down, so you don't get that rush but you get the metabolic boost," explains Dr. Pescatore.
