Doctors, Please Can You Tell Me Why I'm Reacting To Green Tea? by Ishilove: 11:19pm On May 26, 2016
I read up on all the amazing benefits of green tea and was intrigued. Some of the merits of drinking green tea include detoxification, appetite suppression which invariably will lead to weight loss, improved heart health and even aids in clearing pimples and acne (I think this is where detox comes in) etc.

This week I rushed and bought a pack of fragrant green tea, with a twist of lime and lemon. Yummy! cheesy

And I've been regretting wasting money since then. angry

I thought this shaitza was supposed to suppress appetite? My God, it is having the opposite effect on me. I've been drinking this stuff since Tuesday and the kind of hunger I've been experiencing is baffling. It is strange and unusual.

When I drink it, I experience temporary nausea, and when it passes, THE HUNGER takes over. After eating, I become hungry after barely two hours. Today I was weeping inside me because I felt the kind of hunger refugees in wartorn countries must be feeling. Right now I'm hungry again cry cry

This is not normal because all those I've spoken to tell me green tea suppresses their appetite.

Doctors in the house, can you give me insight why my own case is different?

oh well maybe because you have low tolerance for caffeine, and green tea contain caffeine and maybe you over consume it.

I don't think I need medical attention because I only began experiencing the hunger when I started drinking the tea.

Those I spoke to say it worked as it is supposed to but I don't know why the opposite is my case.

Not really. I've been drinking caffeine all my life and it doesn't affect me.

No I don't think I over-consume it. I soak the bag in half a cup of water. Medium sized cup.

My own experience with green tea is insomnia, heart palpitations and a whiff of nausea. I've been reading about the amazing anti-oxidant qualities of the tea and decided to try it out. I'm not sure if it affected my appetite (my appetite is not so stable, there are days I eat like a horse and days I can't get myself to eat more than a few bites at a time) but I realised I couldn't sleep and my heart beating like it wants to explode from my chest. I've read all around the pack of the tea for active ingredients so I can Google them, but I can't seem to find any. Leaves me no choice but to keep it away.

I guess we react differently. If this hunger thing continues I will have to stop it, let me kuku know that I have wasted money.

I bought it to maintain my weight, not add to it grin

Actually I've read that green tea is also good for weight loss. it could be the make of the you bought that is giving all that appetite. You can try out another brand.

Ha! I thought all Green Tea are the same? shocked shocked

Goodness, so I will have to embark on trial and error... sad

The brand I bought is 'Ahmad Tea'. If I try another brand and the same thing happens then I will have to keep off completely. I didn't drink the tea today and thankfully I didn't feel the insane hunger, but I found myself craving to eat even when I wasn't hungry. That's bad news for a weight watcher

Is it having any effect on my area of expertise? If not then e no concern me. I had a similar experience my mother came visiting with her you need to eat healthy sermons the green tea had worked wonders for her so I gave it a try, that thing just made my bladder hyperactive I was urinating like a terrified ram. In any case the effects vary from person to person what you are experiencing will be considered the perfect results by some others Oya na trial and error get you now grin

First of all I want to let you know that Green tea is a herbal product that functions by increasing anti oxidant activities in the body. And since you just complained about these side effects, it means you're reacting to the substances in the tea like Caffeine and polyphenol which have been known to induce nausea. However you can still safely take your green tea by taking note of the caffeine level (high levelling is bad) and add little milk in it before drinking, inorder to soothe the stomach acid which causes hunger. Or you take it alongside your meals.
