Shape Up For Summer With Green Tea X50

Reclaim your bikini body in a flash with this healthy, antioxidant-packed energy drink and tips from Green Tea x50’s nutritionist Anne-Marie Lasserre

As our hemlines rise in tandem with the mercury, the pressure is on to look our best for summer. Thankfully, there’s a secret – and healthy – weapon you can use to reach your health and fitness goals faster. A refreshing, antioxidant-packed energy drink, Green Tea X50 not only works to boost your energy, but can help you burn up to 200 extra calories per day.

We’ve all heard the hype about green tea, but the catch is that you need to consume up to 10 cups of the stuff each day to experience the full force of its immune boosting, liver detoxifying, cholesterol level regulating, blood pressure lowering and fat blasting benefits. Packing the antioxidant punch of up to 20 cups of green tea in one 3g sachet, TGA-listed Green Tea X50 is a naturally derived, preservative-free and great tasting green tea alternative.

Rich in polyphenols and catechins, the primary components that make green tea the chosen health elixir of medical practitioners from around the globe, Green Tea X50 sachets are designed to be mixed with water to create a nutrient-rich beverage that can help boost energy and increase overall health, and also assist in stimulating your metabolism, leading to increased weight loss. Better yet, each serving of Green Tea X50 contains the caffeine equivalent of just one normal cup of green tea (or less than half a cup of coffee), so it won’t leave you bouncing off the walls.

Low GI, low sugar and aspartame-free – sweetened with Xylitol, derived from the birch tree – Green Tea X50 is also diabetic-friendly as it increases insulin activity, helps prevent insulin resistance and blocks glucose absorption. To get even more out of Green Tea X50, top nutritionist and personal trainer Anne-Marie Lasserre shares her insider tips to looking and feeling your best this summer:

1.    Run on empty: “Working out on an empty stomach helps burn more calories and fire up your metabolism,” says Anne-Marie. “But to give you a boost pre-work out, kick start your day with a Green Tea X50 before hitting the pavement, pool or gym for some fast and furious cardio, for an instant energy boost and much needed hydration.”

2.    Break the fast: Enjoy a healthy breakfast of lean protein and fibre-packed carbs: “Skipping the most important meal of the day will leave you feeling sluggish by noon,” says Anne-Marie. She also recommends eating less, more often: “To keep your metabolism ticking along nicely, don’t go more than three hours without a meal.”

3.    Workout to work: “Turn your commute into a work out to maximise your time,” says Anne-Marie. “Take the longest route to the office, park the car a little further away than normal and take the stairs instead of the lift. Walk that extra distance and keep your metabolism firing,” says Anne-Marie.

4.    Be carb-conscious: “Start to limit your carb intake in the afternoon as you’ll need less energy leading up to bedtime,” says Anne-Marie This will help prevent excess calories from being stored as fat.

5.    Swap naughty for nice: “Everyone is familiar with that afternoon energy slump that can send you running for the vending machine.  But rather than junk food or a sugary energy drink, look for a healthy treat in the afternoon that will satisfy cravings and won’t derail your hard work,” says Anne-Marie. “Try a chocolate flavoured Green Tea X50, which not only tastes great but will promote thermogenesis and fat burning.”

6.    It’s not all about cardio: “Lunges, squats and step-ups are my star exercises for shaping and toning all those tricky bikini-baring areas,” says Anne-Marie. “Don’t save these just for the gym though - get off the couch and do a few while you’re watching TV, or even while brushing your teeth.”

7.    Take a tea-tox: Choose one day each week to tea-tox. “Pair Green Tea X50 with plenty of leafy greens and fruit to help budge toxins and clear acid build-up from your body,” says Anne-Marie.
