Super popular weight loss! Drinking black tea and tomato soup can help you burn fat? Famous weight loss doctor says...

In Japan, weight loss is almost a national sport. According to a report from the World Health Organization, Japan is one of the countries with the lowest obesity rates in the world. The Japanese have a cool new way to lose weight. Recently, the media reported that the Japanese have developed a way to drink black tea and tomato soup. It is said that this can effectively inhibit fat absorption, help double fat burning, and successfully get rid of belly fat. Pepper can also be added to enhance the flavor. What do domestic weight loss experts think? Are black tea and tomatoes really effective in helping you lose weight? What should we worry about if we consume too much?

Media report: Some people in Japan drink two cups of hot black tea a day to get rid of belly fat

"Report Highlights": Japanese people love to drink black tea which is rich in caffeine. It can not only effectively reduce fat absorption, but also promote fat burning and get rid of belly fat. In Japan, there is a person who successfully lost 4 kilograms in one month by drinking two cups of hot tea a day. If you want to enhance the fat-reducing effect, you can also add tomatoes to black tea. After the black tea is boiled, throw the tomatoes in and cook them together to make black tea tomato soup. If you like strong flavors, you can add pepper to give it a different taste.

Weight loss experts: Black tea contains caffeine, which can indirectly help reduce the accumulation of fat cells

Liu Bowen, executive director of the Taiwan Obesity Education and Prevention Association and a weight loss specialist, said that the general concept of people is that drinking too much beverages can easily make you fat, but the method used by the Japanese is to choose black tea as a beverage. Analysis of the ingredients of black tea shows that it mainly contains caffeine, and the pharmacological effect of caffeine is to increase the secretion of norepinephrine in human brain tissue, thereby strengthening the function of the sympathetic nerves to produce an excited state.

Another physiological effect of caffeine is that it inhibits the action of phosphodiesterase, increases the concentration of c-AMP, and promotes the decomposition of glycogen into glucose, which indirectly increases energy production. Another effect of caffeine on lipids is to indirectly promote the production of c-AMP, thereby activating protein kinase and triglyceride lipase, thereby indirectly reducing the accumulation of fat cells.

Tomatoes are rich in dietary fiber, which can prevent excessive fat from being absorbed.

After understanding the ingredients of black tea, let’s look at tomatoes. A common large tomato, weighing about 250 grams, has only 40 calories, but it is rich in dietary fiber, which not only increases satiety but also prevents excessive fat from being absorbed. Moreover, the lycopene contained in tomatoes also has antioxidant effects. Tomatoes are also rich in vitamins A, C, and other elements.

There is no human experiment report proving that antioxidant effects can have an effect on weight loss

As for the Japanese trend of drinking black tea and tomato soup, believing that it can increase the metabolic rate through the antioxidant effect, thereby achieving a weight loss effect, Dr. Liu Boen said that in fact, there are only experimental reports indicating that it may be effective in preventing obesity in mice, but it has no weight loss effect on already obese mice, and there are no human experimental reports proving that antioxidant effects can have an effect on weight loss.

*Pepper contains capsaicin, which can have some metabolic function. It is irritating, so don’t consume it in excess*

In addition, pepper contains capsaicin, which has the effect of dilating blood vessels and promoting circulation. Therefore, after eating it, there will be fever and sweating reactions, which can enhance metabolism to a certain extent. However, if used in large quantities, it can irritate the gastric mucosa and cause ulcers.

Excessive consumption of black tea, tomato soup and pepper may cause central nervous system or endocrine disorders

A reminder: when ordinary people use the black tea, tomato soup and pepper weight loss method, because both black tea and pepper contain stimulating ingredients, large amounts or long-term use will cause sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity syndrome, which may affect sleep in mild cases and blood pressure and even central nervous system or endocrine disorders in severe cases. Therefore, you must pay attention to the amount, especially those with high blood pressure or heart disease, you must monitor your physiological condition at all times to stay healthy and safe.
