It is an acquired taste but you can train your taste buds in about 20 days to like it. If your BMR (Base metabolic rate) is about 1700 calories then drinking 4 cups of green tea will increase it to between 1750-1800. That means you will burn 50-100 more calories per day if you make no other change in your lifestyle. Multiply that over a year and the cumulative impact is huge.

Of course if you want to increase your BMR even more then eat six small meals (every 2-3 hrs) instead of 3 meals and have NO CARBS after 8:00 p.m. but that is a whole different topic........
