3 Day Green Tea Diet
The 3 Day Green Tea Diet harnesses the tea's thermogenic properties to help you lose weight. Green tea helps the metabolism crank up a notch, and utilize it for fat burning.
And strangely enough, green tea is also good for your teeth. May as well keep them healthy too, don't you think?
Green Tea Capules -- or Drink It?
Although I think the real thing (i.e. the tea itself) is best for the green tea diet, some people prefer to take the green tea capsules instead. 
Nothing wrong with that, if it suits your lifestyle better, but you won't get the tooth protection that you would with the liquid tea.
There is a fair amount of caffeine in this eating plan. Although green tea only has about half the caffeine of coffee, it can bother some people. So if you are sensitive to caffeine, drink the decaf version, or take the decaffinated green tea capsules.
How Healthy is Green Tea?
So just how healthy is green tea? Green tea is chock-full of all kinds of wonderful antioxidants -- so it's good for you! It's thermogenic (fat-burning) properties are just icing on the cake, so to speak.

What to Eat
Each day is roughly the same, although you do have some choices as to what you eat. Vary the choices during the three days and it will help cut any bordeom.
Here's the menu and recipes (on a page that's easier to print out and carry with you).
What Kind of Weight Loss?
This diet is a tad higher in traditional calories than some of the others, but it takes advantage of green tea's fat burning effect. Some "negative calorie" foods are also included.
Expect to lose from 2 to 5 pounds in 3 days.
