Can Matcha Help You Lose Weight?

According to a study published in the journal ‘Current Research in Food Science’, matcha can alleviate obesity caused by a high-fat diet. Studies suggest a significant link between gut microbiota, metabolites, and obesity. Matcha may have a positive impact on obesity by modulating gut microbiota and metabolites. Other research shows that matcha helps fat-busting by boosting metabolism and enhancing fat oxidation, particularly through high concentrations of catechins (EGCG) and caffeine. It can increase calorie burn by up to 17% during exercise and supports fat loss by improving insulin sensitivity, reducing fat accumulation, and managing stress-related cravings.
