Body weight loss and weight maintenance in relation to habitual caffeine intake and green tea supplementation

WESTERTERP-PLANTENGA, MARGRIET S.,MANUELA P.G.M. LEJEUNE, AND EVA M. R. KOVACS.  Obes Res. 2005;13:1195–1204.

Abstract:  Investigation of the effect of a green tea-caffeine mixture on weight maintenance after body weight loss in moderately obese subjects in relation to habitual caffeine intake.Research Methods and Procedures: A randomized placebo- controlled double blind parallel trial in 76 overweight and moderately obese subjects, (BMI, 27.5 _ 2.7 kg/m2) matched for sex, age, BMI, height, body mass, and habitual caffeine intake was conducted. A very low energy diet intervention during 4 weeks was followed by 3 months of weight maintenance (WM); during the WM period, the subjects received a green tea-caffeine mixture (270 mg epigallocatechin gallate _ 150 mg caffeine per day) or placebo. Results: Subjects lost 5.9 _1.8 (SD) kg (7.0 _ 2.1%) of body weight (p _ 0.001). At baseline, satiety was positively,and in women, leptin was inversely, related to subjects’ habitual caffeine consumption (p _ 0.01). High caffeine consumers reduced weight, fat mass, and waist circumference more than low caffeine consumers; resting energy expenditure was reduced less and respiratory quotient was reduced more during weight loss (p _ 0.01). In the low caffeine consumers, during WM, green tea still reduced body weight, waist, respiratory quotient and body fat,whereas resting energy expenditure was increased compared with a restoration of these variables with placebo (p _0.01). In the high caffeine consumers, no effects of the green tea-caffeine mixture were observed during WM. Discussion: High caffeine intake was associated with weight loss through thermogenesis and fat oxidation and with suppressed leptin in women. In habitual low caffeine consumers, the green tea-caffeine mixture improved WM, partly through thermogenesis and fat oxidation.

“Regular consumption of green tea provides a thermogenic affect for weight loss and weight maintenance.  A highlight from this study is the evidence of the use of EGCG as a thermogenic aid.  A thermogenic aid is something that wastes energy in the form of heat, instead of producing energy for the body.  The key to long term success with body weight is having a plan to maintain the progress we make through diet and exercise!” - Josh Smith

EGCG and Weight Loss

The Major Green Tea Polyphenol, Epigallocatechin-Gallate, Inhibits Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome, and Fatty Liver Disease in High-Fat–Fed Mice.  Journal of Nutrition.  2008 September; 138(9): 1677-1683
In this study, we investigated the effects of the major green tea polyphenol, (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), on high-fat–induced obesity, symptoms of the metabolic syndrome, and fatty liver in mice. In mice fed a high-fat diet (60% energy as fat), supplementation with dietary EGCG treatment (3.2 g/kg diet) for 16 wk reduced body weight (BW) gain, percent body fat, and visceral fat weight (P < 0.05) compared with mice without EGCG treatment. The BW decrease was associated with increased fecal lipids in the high-fat–fed groups (r2 = 0.521; P < 0.05). EGCG treatment attenuated insulin resistance, plasma cholesterol, and monocyte chemoattractant protein concentrations in high-fat–fed mice (P < 0.05). EGCG treatment also decreased liver weight, liver triglycerides, and plasma alanine aminotransferase concentrations in high-fat–fed mice (P < 0.05). Histological analyses of liver samples revealed decreased lipid accumulation in hepatocytes in mice treated with EGCG compared with high-fat diet-fed mice without EGCG treatment. In another experiment, 3-mo-old high-fat–induced obese mice receiving short-term EGCG treatment (3.2 g/kg diet, 4 wk) had decreased mesenteric fat weight and blood glucose compared with high-fat–fed control mice (P < 0.05). Our results indicate that long-term EGCG treatment attenuated the development of obesity, symptoms associated with the metabolic syndrome, and fatty liver. Short-term EGCG treatment appeared to reverse preexisting high-fat–induced metabolic pathologies in obese mice. These effects may be mediated by decreased lipid absorption, decreased inflammation, and other mechanisms.
“The groups in this study were fed high fat diets that left them overweight and obese.  The solution was a mixture of EGCGs.  The short term results of introducing EGCGs into their diets was a reduction in body fat.  Not only a reduction in body fat, but a reduction in visceral body fat!  The best tasting and most convenient way to ge the necessary EGCGs is GreenTeaHP by grenx!”   – Josh Smith
