Green Tea Diet
Plan
Eating and
dieting these days do not usually involve your favorite
beverages like green tea and coffee. But this is not always
necessarily the case. With some bit of planning and a lot of
discipline, your diet plan and weight regime can include your
morning cups of coffee or green tea.
South Beach Diet Plan
An idea formulated by Dr. Agatston, the South Beach Diet plan
is not low-carb, nor low-fat. According to its originator, the
South Beach Diet plan “teaches you to rely on the right carbs
and the right fats.”
This diet plan is comprised of three phases – Banishing your
Cravings, Reintroducing Carbs, and A Diet for Life. Using
artificial sweetener and low-fat milk in your coffee or green
tea during all three phases is one way to go on losing weight
without having to give up your brewed cup. Going decaf with
your coffee might also be a good idea since the objective of
this diet is maintaining even insulin levels. If you’re a green
tea drinker, then there is less worries for you. Green tea
contains only very few amounts of caffeine.
The Zone Diet Plan
The Zone Diet plan was developed by Barry Sears, a former
biotechnology researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. This diet plan is based on the maintenance and
consistency of insulin levels. Because this diet plan also
concerns itself with insulin control, the issues that arise are
handled similarly as that with the South Beach Diet plan.
Taking decaffeinated coffee and green tea is all right as long
as these beverages don’t spike up your insulin. The eating
program of the Zone Diet plan requires you to use artificial
sweetener and low-fat milk in your coffee or green tea.
Atkins Diet Plan
Another low-carb diet plan variety, the Atkins Diet plan works
best with caffeine-free coffee and green tea. For best results,
artificial sweeteners in your green tea and coffee are advised
to keep your carbs down.
Blood Type Diet Plan
The Blood Type Diet plan is a weight loss regimen where the
foods you eat are based on your blood type. The eating program
of the Blood Type Diet plan is more restricted compared to the
South Beach Diet plan, the Zone Diet plan, and the Atkins Diet
plan. For instance, for people with blood types A and AB,
coffee is highly advised. But for those with blood types O,
adding coffee to the Blood Type Diet plan should be avoided.
Green teas on the other hand are acceptable for any blood
types. However, adding natural sweeteners like sugar, honey,
stevia, or maple syrup in green tea should be avoided in this
diet plan.
Sugar Busters Diet Plan
The name of the diet plan says it all. Subscribers to this diet
plan are highly cautioned against sugars. Coffee and green teas
are perfectly fine but only use artificial sweeteners.
Paleolithic Diet Plan
Also called the Stone Age Diet plan, this diet plan is based on
the consumption of simple, unprocessed foods that our
Neanderthal ancestors would have eaten. This diet plan is
perfect for green tea drinkers. Green tea is simple and 100%
natural steamed dried leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant.
If you’re a coffee drinker, you might be in for a tougher
choice since you might have to give up coffee all together with
this diet plan. Sugars in green teas are still a big no-no,
especially the refined kind.
