    yerba mate for fat loss

    anyone know anything about this? its a tea, ive been drinking it for a few years, but i was looking on the internet for a beta-1 agonist and all my searches end up here. there is some proof it functions in weight loss, so i started drinking it again after i stopped clen , and my fat loss is continuing. just curious if anyone knows anything about it.

    The active fat burning chemical is in the xanthine family. Caffeine is a xanthine. I drink the stuff as an alternative to coffee. I think on ecoteas.com there is quite a bit of information about the stuff.

    It's very common around here to drink tons of "erva mate" per day.....i never felt any fatburner property.....neither do my bros.

    there are three main xanthines
    caffeine
    theobromine
    theophylline

    all are lipolytic, black and green teas also have polyphenols that raise metabolic rate.

    Yes thats right. There's two differents ways to drink it around here. Down south they have it with hot water, its called "chimarrão". In the central-east region, most likely close to the Paraguay border, they drink with cold water, and is called "tereré". But like i said, no fatburn effect at all.
    The only thing that is commonly noticed is a diuretic effect (if you drink it every day).
