 Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Rubytwoshoes. There is quite a wide range. Which one are you using? |
 Rubytwoshoes 12 years ago | Please tell me if it’s ok to use water enhancer (just a few drops) in my water. I need to drink more water but don’t want to jeopardize my weight loss. |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, NatNoFat. Not necessarily. It all comes down to amounts – a teaspoon of honey in a cup of tea, especially if you’re only drinking a few cups a day. |
 Natnofat 12 years ago | Good question Brenda. I just joined yesterday and find this all so overwhelming. I realize the benefits of green tea are great, so I am trying to incorporate green tea into my routine now. My only concern is that I can’t drink it without honey. Sharon will the honey void the benefits of the green Tea . I am not a tea, coffee or pop drinker so I find the tea a bit bitter. |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Brenda. Sorry to read about your leg! I wish you a speedy recovery.
In the meantime, even working your arms can be a big help, gentle sit-ups (you don’t have to pull up all the way, just enough to feel something in your gut muscles), etc… |
 marplemiss 12 years ago | Thanks Sharon, will have a go with the items you suggest. Cannot exercise at the moment, as I have a muscle problem in my right leg – I get X-rays done tomorrow, so hope they can sort me out. Once again, many thanks. Brenda |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Brenda. Green tea and green coffee (green coffee is usually in supplement form) are especially good for this, as are cinnamon, capsaicin (in red pepper spices), and raspberries. There is some thought that nuts may be good for this, especially almonds.
All in all, however, exercise is best – if you get your muscles working on a regular basis, you can boost your metabolism and burn fat even at rest. |
| marplemiss 12 years ago | Can you please tell me where I can find information relating to foods that will help boost my Metabolism – which is rather slow and in need of a kick up the b——- ! Thanks, Brenda |
