Caffeine is a well known stimulant that has been shown to aid fat burning and improve exercise performance in various studies.

Green tea comes in different flavours, so more than likely there will be one that you enjoy the taste of as well as the potential fat loss benefits!
The main antioxidant in green tea Epigallocatechin Galate (EGCG) helps to inhibit an enzyme that breaks down the hormone Norepinephrine, which is used to signal the fat cells, telling them to break down. The result is that more fat cells breakdown more fat, which is then used for energy by cells that need it, like muscle cells.
Put simply - Drink green tea for fat loss!
