Japanese Doctor Loses 55 Pounds Drinking ‘Green Tea Coffee’
A scientifically proven way for a person with weak willpower to lose weight...
Adapted from the Epoch Times article by Ellen Wan
Dr. Takafumi’s method is straightforward. Just mix green tea and coffee in a 1:1 ratio It’s one of the simplest weight-loss methods available.
How the Green Tea Coffee Mix Aids in Weight Loss
Dr. Takafumi’s weight loss drink contains theanine, catechin, caffeine, and chlorogenic acid.
Green tea and coffee together provide a good balance of their respective nutrients.
Green tea is rich in theanine and catechins, which promote fat burning, and a modest amount of caffeine which also has a slimming effect.
Coffee has chlorogenic acid which also has a fat burning effect.
Both beverages contain caffeine which helps blunt appetite and the other green tea components likely prolong and enhance coffee’s known short-term fat-burning effect
Catechin from green tea and chlorogenic acid from coffee both inhibit blood sugar levels from elevating which (in addition to aiding the control of type 1 diabetes) likely make it easier to lose weight.
There’s also a balancing effect on the nervous system. Theanine helps relaxation while coffee’s aroma may promote that “coffee-time” feeling of relaxation. What does all that mean? In simple terms, drinking green tea and coffee mix refreshes your mind and reduces anxiety.
Dr. Takafumi‘s weight loss story
Several years ago, Dr. Takafumi was a doctor weighing over 200 pounds.
He decided to self-experiment with the Green Tea Coffee Weight-Loss Method for 10 months. The results were remarkable: He lost over 55 pounds and kept the weight off.
“This weight-loss method can also prevent hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia,” Dr. Takafumi added.
The Japanese doctor opened a weight-loss clinic in his father’s hospital to promote the successful weight-loss method.
Dr. Takafumi has guided more than 100 patients with obesity to drink green tea and coffee and helped his patients shed an average of over 13.6 pounds per month.
His weight-loss method has become a popular topic on television.
A man with obesity, Mr. Otani, posted an article about his experience after trying Dr. Takafumi’s Green Tea Coffee Method for a month. He said, “I lost 1.4 kg in a month following the directions.”
Mr. Otani also added how simple it was to drink green tea and coffee only before meals. He began to feel the effect after drinking green tea coffee for seven to 10 consecutive days.
Mr. Otani did not increase his strength training or aerobic exercise during the period.
When Is the Best Time to Drink Green Tea Coffee?
Dr. Takafumi recommends three cups of green tea coffee daily. Drinking before meals prevents overeating. Consumed an hour before working out the drink combo will also speed up fat burning.
Who is suitable for the Green Tea Coffee Weight Loss Method?
Dr. Takafumi says in his book that his weight loss method is suitable for the following people:
Those who have tried different ways to lose weight but have not succeeded
Those who live a busy life, dine out, or lack the willpower to manage their diet or work out routines
Those who don’t necessarily think they’re overweight but are self-conscious about their belly
Those who have been ordered to lose weight by medical professionals due to chronic diseases and complications
Who Should Avoid the Method?
People with anemia, poor gastrointestinal health, and an allergy to caffeine should not use the Green Tea Coffee Method to lose weight.
How to Select Tea or Coffee
For coffee, Dr. Takafumi says as long as it contains caffeine and chlorogenic acid, it will be fine. Even instant coffee will work the same. Since roasting depletes the chlorogenic acid content, lightly roasted coffee will work better than dark-roasted coffee for weight loss. The green tea is added to the coffee. (Don’t add calorie-rich sugar or milk!)
Medical researchers at Kyushu University, Japan, conducted a follow-up study published in BMJ Journals in 2020 on 4,923 patients with Type 2 diabetes and found that the mortality rate reduced to approximately 51 per cent in participants who drank two to three cups of green tea and over two cups of coffee daily. Adding another cup or two of green tea dropped the mortality rate down to approximately 60%.
Alternative to the new injectable weight loss drugs
Most people in the Ozempic (marketed as Wedgovy) treatment trials reported (short-term, mostly mild) side effects of nausea and diarrhoea. Despite this, over 90% of the participants apparently completed the trial period of 18 months.
The prohibitive cost of these new treatments (possibly up to NZ$1,000 per month), the liftime dependency upon big pharma and the need to inject oneself once weekly, (probably for life), all seem to make the Japanese Dr Takafumi‘s weight loss beverage a much preferable alternative!
