   Hey Noona,

   I’m very skeptical about any diet pill product, or anything that promises results with little to no work. I do believe that wu yi grean tea will help you lose a little bit of weight though. I also think that regular green tea will do the same exact thing, as will coffee.

   The caffeine in tea and coffee speeds up your metabolism for a short time, which burns some calories. I would NOT spend a ton of money on any diet product though.

   If you want to lose some fat, and maybe gain some muscle, there’s a few things to keep in mind:

   - Your body is ALWAYS changing. Always breaking down muscle and fat and glycogen for fuel and to rebuild itself. Food is fuel that is used for energy and to rebuild the stores that are used up when we’re not eating.

   - By eating a diet that’s higher in protein, lower in (20% calories from) fat, and lower in carbohydrates (especially sugar and overly-processed carbs such as white bread/rice), you give your body a constant, slow digesting supply of energy to use while not turning a ton of it to fat.

   - Exercise is good for you. Cardio keeps your heart in shape. Low-medium intensity (65% max heart rate) cardio is best for burning fat, whereas short, intense exercise such as lifting is best for putting on muscle. The U.S. gov’t advisory is 60 minutes of exercise per day. Keep in mind that if you exercise more, you will get hungry more, and want to eat more. This is normal. Don’t starve yourself.

   By exercising daily and eating a healthy diet you can achieve your weight loss goals. Just start by going for walks every day, or if you feel up to it, you can go running or biking, or anything that motivates you really.

   I’ll list some sites below that have some solid information about these topics as well.

   Hope this helps,

   Jared
