One of the benefits of the Internet is that it provides us with access to more information that we could ever read in book form. Many of us have heard the phrase, “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.” Whoever said this first was unwittingly referencing the Internet. Where our health is concerned, we cannot be too cautious.

Ultra Lean Green Tea is a supplement marketed to those wishing to quickly lose weight. It appears that there is a free trial available with the payment of shipping costs of $5.95. However, it has been noted that if you do not cancel the trial, you are billed for the full cost of the packet, which is apparently over $70.00. The ingredients listed are referred to as amino acid and mineral “blends.” What are the proportions of the blends? What clinical trials support their use?

As any reputable health professional will state, rapid weight loss is not desirable. Most physicians specializing in obesity recommend dietary control of calories and an increase in exercise, with the goal of losing one to two pounds per week.

Ultra Lean Green Tea promotes its product by touting rapid weight loss, along with anecdotal testimonies of many other benefits. Many of the listed benefits of green tea extract have yet to be confirmed by the FDA, not to mention the potential complications from any other drug interactions. Unfortunately, many people will happily endanger their well being in an effort to zip a pair of size 4 blue jeans.

It would be wise to consult your health professional before embarking on this or any other weight loss system.
